Okay I want kids when I grow up. But we just watched a movie in biology class that showed everything that happens when a woman gives birth... what I want to know is if it really hurts as much as it looked like it did. Right now I'm thinking of adopting because there is no way that I would ever want to do that and also I hate throwing up so the whole morning sickness wouldn't work for me. I'm only 16 and I don't want to have sex/have babies until I'm married, this is just something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Thanks

However, it's good that you don't want to do this yet. You should have a life first.
I won't lie, it does hurt for most women, one of the worst pains you could think of. But, once you get that baby in your arms, you forget about it, as it's all been worth the effort. Nothing beats that sudden rush of maternal love.
If the morning sickness gets really bad, there are things that be done to help these days, so there's usually no need to suffer.
Adoption is a good thing to do too, but there are more older children that need homes than babies.
When your body decides it's ready to reproduce, something comes over you and it doesn't seem so scary anymore. And remember if it was that awful, women would not go on to have more than one child. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]

To me, there is nothing more amazing than looking at my son and realizing I took part in creating him. There is nothing like that feeling I get from that. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

Adopting is always a good thing because too many children don't have homes, but that can cause a lot of drama and issues as well.
Personally, I don't want any kids...adopted or natural...but talk to you mother about this and she'll tell you all about it. I've never had a baby, so I can't tell you exactly what it feels like.
Also, you're 16, and you may change your mind about that in the future. If you aren't going to have sex until marriage, you don't have to worry about this right now. Just wait until the time comes. [ lbwhite89's advice column | Ask lbwhite89 A Question ]
helloxdear13 answered Friday April 13 2007, 7:51 pm: I have the same problem, but my mom has told me that it will probably change when you do get married or just get older. Who knows, you may change your mind in your thirties or even twenties. And if you don't, it's perfectly acceptable to adopt a child. It's actually better, because then you can be saving children from a bad life somewhere else.
Hey, maybe when we're older, <i>men</i> will be giving birth.
Doubt it... but its a nice thought. [ helloxdear13's advice column | Ask helloxdear13 A Question ]
