While I've seen similar posts on this, I still feel my question hasn't been fully addressed and honestly I'm really looking for support. Here we go - I find the idea of pregnancy, birth and then dirty babies disgusting, yet still like the idea of adult children. Am I awful!? The idea that woman are prepared to go through all the hormonal and body changes, give birth and then surrender their existence to look after another human (when quite honestly, the world has enough), is crazy. And don't say it's different when it happens to you - it did and I had a termination as couldn't deal with it. I'd love to change this as my husband is very keen to have children, and as I said, older kids are appealing to me, but adoption is out of the question. But am I alone and are there any solutions other than grin and bare it!

    To be completely honest the pregnancy and birth thing looks so painful. I also don't have much of a desire to have kids in that I just don't want the responsibility, I never wanted that kinda responsibility in my whole life, not to mention I can't even begin to imagine all the work, and I don't think I would have the energy. I could be bright eyed and bushy tailed one moment then if I'm presented with a task I don't want to do it's like all the energy in my body just drains out of me.

    I've always resented the notion that the whole maternal instinct thing just comes natural to all women. I dunno, I think I'm almost too old to have kids. I'm way too depressed and anxious on my own, and I can't imagine adding a child to all of that. I'm honestly not interested in adoption though. I think if I had to have a child I would want a biological one. Regardless I see having a child as something too overwhelming for me. I would much prefer to have pets.

    I don't think you're terrible, but I'm not surprised if other women are hostile and judgmental toward you.

    With this attitude you do not deserve any kid. Babies are so cute.

    Well you're definitely not alone. Lots of women don't want children and find pregnancy itself gross. I don't see a problem with that. It's all in the way you see it, some people see it as a new life and others see it as a ruined life. Your pick.

    I swore I would never have children for the same reason. And you know what? I DIDN'T. I had a vasectomy at a young age to assure it! I am so happy I dodged that bullet.

      I'm curious, why are you so mad at her? She hasn't done anything to you.

          You're blessed then, you have a virtue that some people don't. It's probably better to try to feel sorry for those people, but then again I get the same way about animals, especially cats and dogs. I do wanna say, and I'll probably haters for this one, that a lot of women and men who go the abortion route will experience regret, shame and trauma as a direct result of the abortion. On average it usually takes seven to ten years for those feelings to materialize. You're very blessed that you love and cherish the children you have.
