Today in health we watched "the cycle of life" or something, about babies being born. Well ..I know how they are and stuff, but in this video they showed EVERYTHING, like and, I think I'm scarred, I always wanted to have kids before this, but now I'm thinking I dont want to, since it grossed me out so much, and my health teacher said it hurts a lot. And from what I saw, ew.. and blah.
Do you think I will change my mind later in life? Because I want kids, but blah it seems gross..I'm young, so I will most likely change my mind about kids later right?

I can understand why you are put off. The 'miracle of new life' is absoloutely disgusting and terrifying to watch! However, the truth is that when you are with the right person and you KNOW you want a baby, everything you saw in that video will suddenly seem so worth it because all you will want is to hold this beautiful little baby in your arms and know that it is YOUR job to raise it and care for it and help it become whoever it is meant to be.
But you know, the reason they show you things like this at your age is because it is an important deterrant. There has been a massive increase in teen pregnancies over the last 5 years alone, especially in the UK and America and although there are a few kids that think they would like to have babies because they are sure they are ready, videos like this help to drum into them and kids that think it's a good idea to have underage sex or unprotected sex the consequences of their actions. After all, the last thing you are going to want to do after watching some poor women squeeze something the size of a watermelon out something the size of a grape is go out and let themselves get in the same position!!!
So don't worry, when the time comes, you will feel ready for kids, in spite of everything that comes with them. For now, just make the most of being a 15 year old and not having to go through such an ordeal!

If you want to have kids later in life, that'll be more important that the pain of birth.
The birth pains last the labor, kids are forever. Also, a lot of the time now the doctors give tons of painkillers to the mom so it won't be as bad.
It's human nature, it's not some alienlike function.
to your reply, medicines and drugs during developement of the baby inside the body can cause damage, not the painkillers to the mother during labor.
And Cesarean Sections are only option when the baby or mother will most likely die or be born with defict if born naturally. They're actually safer if they're preformed for the correct reasons.
Intercourse is more gross than childbirth, but people aren't afraid of it as much as labor.

well typically sex ed videos are meant to discourage teenagers from having sex. what you should do, is your own research. let me know if you need help.

You still have a long time before you have to make that decision. You might change your mind, or you might not. I'm just almost eighteen, but I've already made up my mind, and that's that I don't want to get pregnant. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to have children. It's just my personal opinion, but I've decided that adoption is better. Why? Because I think that the world is over-populated, and there are a lot of children without parents that could use some. And also because I, like you, think that pregnancy is disgusting.
Like I said, you still have a lot of time to decide. So do I, actually. There's a chance I might change my mind, but I highly doubt it. Still, it never hurts to consider the options early on. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) has a lot of information about adoption. I highly reccommend it.

Yeah, you'll probably change your mind. And they give you medicine (epidural) so it won't hurt. Besides, if you're really scared you could probably just have a c-section, but it's likely that in a few years you'll feel differently (and if not, you could adopt).

Yes, you will probably change your mind one of these days.
It is mighty gross and I can't tell you it doesn't hurt. It seems to be forgotten though as time passes. Don't worry about it to much right now. :)

I'm with you there. I saw that video too. Yes, it's duisgusting, but i'm sure later you'll change your mind. And not all of them hurt. It may look duisgusting now, but you'll soon realize that a baby is a whole nother life inside of you that you created and one of the amazing miracles that women can do. It's not something to be duisgusted over. it's something to be amazed about.
