Did you always know you wanted kids?

Wonderful story!

I have 4 friends that the Dr. s said couldn't have babies. And all 4 have 2 kids or more. One with, I forget what it's called, the lessions on the uteris. One who needed fertilaty drugs and it took 10yrs to have a baby. And 2 that were in severe car accidents (seperate ones) with smashed pelvises; one actually broke her neck also.


There's always hope!

Thanks

Endometriosis if that rings a bell.

I have it, and some other issues. Back then they didn't know things they know now.

I never wanted kids growing up. I don't like children, except for my nephews. I would do anything for them, absolutely anything to ensure that they grow up healthy and happy. Now that I've been married for going on 3 years, I go back and forth between wanting and not wanting kids. My husband likes kids, and wants them someday. I'm still quite young, so I still have time to make up my mind. Right now I'm still a bit too selfish.

I didn't want kids. My first pregnancy was not planned in the least (yes, I was on the pill). I didn't have any thoughts about doing anything other than keeping the baby though once I realized that I was pregnant. Once we had one, we decided we wanted another. I love my kids and can't imgaine not having them now, but I was never interested in having children when I was younger. I never spent much time around children and never knew what to say to them or how to play with them when I was around them. I still am not a baby person, you won't catch me asking to hold a baby or enjoying that "baby smell". I do kind of like older kids now and I would like to have more children, just not more babies.

No, I didn't. My DH did. We have two sons. Now, I do NOT want grandchildren! (probably won't get them, either, which is fine by me, though my son's wife lost a little boy and can't have more). Did I enjoy motherhood? No, not particularly. Would I have kids if I were to live my life over again? No.


I was good at pregnancy and childbirth, too. Why can't I be good at something I really want to do?! Glad those days are long over.

I always wanted kids. I am unable to have children though. So what did I do....marry a man with 2 girls

I have moments where I wonder what the crap I was thinking, but them...don't ALL parents think that at some time during raising them...especially TEENAGE years. BOTH of mine are teens now, one exiting teen years and one entering. If I had it to do over, I still would, but would do a lot different, especially with the youngest!!

Yep, my cousin was told she would never be able to have children. Two kids later her DH had a vasectomy.

I've never been much of a kid person either. BUT, I love my kids with all my heart. It is so different when they are yours. You're young, and you're right, you have plenty of time to make that decision.
