Many thousands of women have done this and gone on to have healthy pregnancies and babies.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, having a baby is usually better once your CD4 count on ART has increased to about 200 cells\/mm<sup>3<\/sup> or higher. Your CD4 count is so close to 200 that this is also okay.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to your doctor or clinic about your wish\u00a0to become\u00a0pregnant.
