People always talk about how horrible being pregnant is. They always say how hard giving birth is, and how having a child completely ruins your life you knew it. And I understand all the bad effects having a child might have. But someone please tell me about the good parts. I've heard that giving birth doesn't always hurt and having a child isn't as hard as they say. I guess it just depends on the person. But someone who has experience with this, please enlighten me. Thanks!

Having a child with someone you love, when you are in a long-term, committed relationship, can be rewarding. But every child needs a father and deserves a stable home. To bring a child into this world just because you want to be a Mom, or have some kind of hole in your heart you think needs to be filled, is just selfish. And yes, having a child IS as hard as "they" say. What makes it worth it is sharing the whole experience with someone you love, knowing you have created a loving home and a solid situation for such precious gift.
P.S. - Indeed, I did make an assumption. Your question sounded very "young" to me and I responded with my instincts. Which is always a risk when you are responding to the written word. If I was mistaken I apologize and stand corrected. Nonetheless I hope you were able to take something positive from my response. Good LUck [ dearcandore's advice column | Ask dearcandore A Question ]
