    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…

      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.

        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 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.

      Sometimes they don’t get the really horrible effects, or at least not the first couple of times.
