I’m fairly certain that if women would get a full disclaimer with all the nasty side effects a pregnancy comes with, they’d give it a second thought… On the other hand, some women insist on having a second baby… And then a third… And a fourth…
That was exactly what we concluded. We had a conversation about it, and my wife said “We got lucky and got a perfect kid on the first try. What are the chances of it happening twice?”
Surprisingly not in this thread: all the horrible things pregnancy can do.
Even just like, all the extra blood in your body. Not horrible exactly but more just disturbing.

Tbh: I know people who have incredibly easy pregnancies, deliveries and then habe a child that hardly bothers anyone. And then others…not so much.
And hormones are mighty in what they do to a brain.
They literally have hormons to forget the worst of birth.
I remember I asked my husband in all seriousness to please kill me. Not in the heat of the moment, I actually meant it.
I don’t remember the pain. I guess it must have been bad but I cannot even imagine what it felt like or where it was located.
I learned this from Scrubs and cited it to my wife just yesterday!
I’ve heard it from friends. They got the freshly newborn baby in there arms and immediately feel like they wanna do this again.
I don’t wanna do it again because I used up all my luck with the awesome kid I already got.
That was exactly what we concluded. We had a conversation about it, and my wife said “We got lucky and got a perfect kid on the first try. What are the chances of it happening twice?”
He’s 26 now, and we’re best friends.
Oh, birth isn’t always the worst of it.
Co-signing on their house loan, THAT’S the worst part.
I was told all the things that could go wrong when I was a kid, and then my mother was all, why not have a kid, and I was just
“CAUSE IT’S A NIGHTMARE???” lol
Sometimes they don’t get the really horrible effects, or at least not the first couple of times.
