Maggie 7th Aug
I
never
thought
that
I
WOULDN'T
have
kids.....but
a
career
took
over
and
my
life
headed
in
different
directions
which
included
an
early
divorce
and
3
subsequent
engagements.
I
just
didn't
feel
confident
about
pulling
the
trigger
and
getting
married
again.
After
40,
I
started
thinking
that
maybe
one
day
I'd
ask
a
guy
friend
to
donate
sperm
and
just
have
a
baby
as
a
single
Mom.
(At
40
-
like
I
had
all
the
time
in
the
world
to
figure
it
out?)
Little
did
I
know
(at
41)
I'd
meet
the
man
of
my
dreams
and
right
after
we
moved
in
together
and
started
talking
about
having
a
baby
I
got
pregnant
-
naturally!
He
officially
proposed
on
the
day
of
my
amnio
and
we
got
married
3
1/2
months
before
our
daughter
was
born.
SKL 6th Aug
Yes.
I
think
I
would
have
been
really
bummed
if
I
ever
had
to
give
up
on
becoming
a
mom
-
it's
always
been
a
huge
goal/desire
for
me.
Carly 3rd Aug
I
always
wanted
2
kids,
3
at
most.
i
wanted
a
boy
than
a
girl
or
2
girls.
but
after
my
first
2
kids
ended
up
being
boys
i
decided
i
needed
to
try
again
to
get
a
girl.
and
with
my
wishing
i
got
twin
girls
haha.
than
my
youngest
(
a
little
boy)
came
along
a
few
years
later
and
i
love
having
5
kids
Sandhya 1st Aug
Nooo,
the
thought
of
being
a
mom
terrified
me
until
we
actually
started
TTC
about
4
years
into
our
marriage.
:)
Vera Babayeva 27th Jul
Yes.
I
always
wanted
to
have
kids.
I
especially
wanted
a
daughter
and
very
happy
got
one
of
each.
Corvette1975 24th Jul
Nope.
I
had
absolutely
no
interest
in
kids
and
never
really
planned
on
having
any
of
my
own.
But
then
when
I
turned
30,
something
kind
of
happened.
One
of
my
girlfriends
got
pregnant
and
upon
seeing
photos
of
her
and
her
son,
I
remember
feeling
really
jealous
and
sad
and
thinking,
'Whoa
--
what's
going
on?'
So,
without
my
knowledge
or
permission,
I
guess
I
WAS
ready
to
have
a
kid.
Our little one is about 11 weeks old, and while he's my little guy, I think this is it -- I really can't see having another one. I'm grateful for the experience of pregnancy, delivery (God bless epidurals!), and being a mom, but everything about it STILL hasn't registered with me. I may finally believe I'm a mom when he's 13 or so... ;-)

I
am
an
only
child.
Because
I
am
a
member
of
a
very
large,
close
knit
extended
family
that
lives
nearby,
I
rarely
felt
alone.
I
always
knew
that
I
wanted
kids,
and
more
than
just
one.
I
have
2
young
sons,
and
even
though
I
am
often
tired
and
occassionally
stressed,
I
LOVE
my
boys.
Because
I
had
trouble
conceiving
due
to
hormonal
imbalances,
I
feel
truly
blessed
to
have
them
(As
a
side
note,
those
having
problems
conceiving
should
consider
visiting
a
certified
hollistic
practitioner.
Mine
was
great
and
I
was
pregnant
3
months
after
my
first
visit).

Dulce 19th Jul
NO.
I
had
a
ruff
life
as
a
child
and
was
too
afraid
to
bring
a
child
into
this
world,
and
fail
him/her.
I
wanted
to
be
a
prosecutor.
I
figured
I
would
adopt
instead.
At
the
age
of
19
I
took
custody
of
my
13
yr
old
niece.
At
25
got
pregnant
and
was
depressed
for
the
1st
month
when
I
found
out.
Now I wouldn't change it for the world, but I have no desire to have any more!! |
