Would it be safe for me to have a baby with my medical condition?

OK i m not completely stupid. i already have an appointment with my doctor to ask her all these questions but i am just wondering to see what other people honestly think. i would love to have a baby at some point after college, but i have a number of health problems. not only am i on a Trilogy 100 ventilator at night while i sleep due to my Central Hypoventilation Syndrome but i have also had a colostomy bag twice along with 7 abdominal surgeries. although i no longer have a colostomy bag and the surgeries where all when i was 15 years old i still have some digestive problems. With my current health and health history would it be safe for me to ever have my own baby?

    no one can determine from your descriptions alone if you would be able to bear the burden of BEING A MOTHER for eighteen years. All the doctor can tell you even with full exam and tests is whether it would be safe for you to CARRY A PREGNANCY TO TERM.

    Talk to a pregnancy doctor, not Yahoo answers!!

    You are essentially asking teenagers what they think-that who is often on YA. So your answers will not be realistic or even medically sound. You really need to talk to all your docs and maybe talk to a group of actual support people that your doc can recommend, those with exact medical issues like yours. Best wishes.
