      I’m fairly certain that if women would get a full disclaimer with all the nasty side effects a pregnancy comes with, they’d give it a second thought… On the other hand, some women insist on having a second baby… And then a third… And a fourth…

          I remember I asked my husband in all seriousness to please kill me. Not in the heat of the moment, I actually meant it.

          I don’t remember the pain. I guess it must have been bad but I cannot even imagine what it felt like or where it was located.

              I don’t wanna do it again because I used up all my luck with the awesome kid I already got.

        I was told all the things that could go wrong when I was a kid, and then my mother was all, why not have a kid, and I was just

        Sometimes they don’t get the really horrible effects, or at least not the first couple of times.
