1. Is birth control okay? Yay or nay? Are some types okay but others not?
2. How should a couple decide whether or not to have children... how many to have... how far apart to space them, etc.?
3. What if a couple is infertile but still wants children? Is it okay to try to "force" things by taking drugs to stimulate ovulation, using a surrogate, using in vitro fertilisation, etc.? Or, is it a sign that the couple is not meant to have a children? Or, a sign that they should adopt?
4. If one of the spouses has a medical condition that could be passed along to the baby, or if the wife has a medical condition that could complicate pregnancy, is it foolish/irresponsible to get pregnant?
5. If a couple has multiples, but didn't want so many babies at once, is it okay to just leave some of the babies at the hospital? Haha... Just kidding... But not kidding about the first 4 questions. Answer those ones! Please and thank you =)
Hey. Let me try to answer some of those questions.
1. Is birth control okay? Yay or nay? Are some types okay but others not?
I don't find anything wrong with birth control, as long as it doesn't kill once fertilization happens. For example, I wouldn't consider a pill that would kill a fetus after 7 days or whatever.
2. How should a couple decide whether or not to have children... how many to have... how far apart to space them, etc.?
It starts with prayer. Everything does. Granted, this should be discussed before a marriage, otherwise this could be a serious issue in the marriage. Even if it hasn't been discussed, I still believe that it can be resolved through mutual submission to each other.
3. What if a couple is infertile but still wants children? Is it okay to try to "force" things by taking drugs to stimulate ovulation, using a surrogate, using in vitro fertilisation, etc.? Or, is it a sign that the couple is not meant to have a children? Or, a sign that they should adopt?
Again, prayer. James talks about us seeking wisdom and I do believe that whatever path that God would have us go, we should follow that path.
4. If one of the spouses has a medical condition that could be passed along to the baby, or if the wife has a medical condition that could complicate pregnancy, is it foolish/irresponsible to get pregnant?
Not at all.
5. If a couple has multiples, but didn't want so many babies at once, is it okay to just leave some of the babies at the hospital? Haha... Just kidding... But not kidding about the first 4 questions. Answer those ones! Please and thank you =)
You could actually get a good commission if you wanted to leave a baby at the hospital. Haha I'm also kidding :)
Pixy waaasssssup with you and James and all these baby questions.:ROFL:
BTW, you have tooooo many different topics within your qiestions for discussion. How can you possibly make for a conclusion on any of these questions?...just askin.
Are you seeking biblical answers or personal spiritual opinions?
@ET- I'm looking for both Biblical answers and personal spiritual opinions. Any insight would be appreciated. If you don't want to tackle all of my questions, personally, that's fine... Just answer whichever ones you'd like to (or none at all).
:stop::stop::stop:
Okay... So... I just got finished cleaning out a couple dozen messages from my inbox that were in response to this topic. If you are one those fine people who sent me an explicit or rude or judgmental message or are someone who is contemplating sending me that kind of message in response to this, then please read the following clarifications:
1. I am NOT asking for explicit instructions on how to make babies. Please do NOT send me graphic details regarding the reproductive process.
2. I am NOT implying that I am attempting to have children now, in my single life. My use of the word "couple" was meant to imply a married couple. These are merely some questions that I ponder as someone who is hoping to get married.
3. NO, I am not physically intimate with anyone from CDFF and asking about birth control to use w/ that person... Not that it is anyone's business...
4. NO, you don't need to know whether or not I have any medical conditions and, if so, what those medical conditions are, in order to answer question # 4.
5. NO, I am NOT implying that I would abort a baby who had a medical condition or love the child any less because of a medical condition. I'm already pro-life, so there is NO need to send me accusatory pro-life propaganda.
6. Question #5 is a JOKE. NO, I would not really leave a child at the hospital!!
Please, everyone... try not twist around what I'm saying or to read too much into it!!
Pixy this is why you should have brokne up your question, because they require different answers of response.
Birth Control would have been a great topic for question #1.. can't remember the others...
Anywayzzz, don't pay those who are senidng you crazy PM's any mind... that's all most of thier own lives stlyes are nothing but a big joke of rudness...
I have said that I am on anti seizure meds before and that does cause problems with kids. I will allow everybody to guess as to what that means.Those with medical knowledge
please do not imply anything as my short answer is good enough. I like kids but would have to adapt????
This is an issue to discuss with the future Mrs.Grime.
