that and also, it’s just super grosss, like the nasty belly and the movement and slimeeee like yuck i’ll pass

having children has never sounded appealing to me 😭 i don’t even like kids or babies so that’s one thing, but pregnancy and birth? absolutely not. never

Fun fact! It’s more dangerous to be pregnant than a cop. 111 reported cop deaths out of 737k-850k (in 2025): 0.00013-0.00015 Between 27.6-106.3 deaths per 100k live births depending on race and circumstances: 0.000276-0.00106. Even th most privileged pregnant folks are twice as likely to die as a cop.

Not to mention, our bodies ARE NOT properly built for pregnancy. The head barely manages to fit through our hip bones

It literally creates a permanent scar on your vag or stomach, AND permanently changes your brain chemistry for the rest of your life. NO THANKSSSS ILL ADOPT IF I WANT ONE 🤗🔥‼️

and your body is built to hunt a wild boar with your bare hands, render it, and serve it to me while i hang out at home pregnant 😌

Your body isn’t built FOR pregnancy it’s able to do so sure, but not what it’s meant to do, It’s built to SURVIVE. Hence why actions needed to survive are involuntary and pregnancy is not. Also the whole argument of humans being a rare species in that we experience menopause.🤷‍♀️

I’m sure a man made that comment

LITERALLY. Everyone tells you ‘you’ll want medicine because you’ll be torn apart’ ‘did you poop on the table?’ ‘It’s going to burn when you pee for a few weeks’. LIKE WHAT. You expect me to be prepared and want this 😓

Am I the only one who wants nothing more than to have kids? Something's gotta be wrong with me there's no way my maternal urge is normal

11

NOPENOPENOPENOPE my 5'1 95lb body certainly is NOT built for pregnancy EVER and I don't want kids ever either too much responsibility... give me a cat or two instead I want to get my tubes removed but my insurance doesn't cover that

10

i don’t want kids cuz my bf and i have too many issues that we’d pass down 😭 like physically and athletically they’d be unstoppable with our bodies combined but they’d also have horrible dental problems right from birth and a lot of mental disorders too

i definitely want kids but like i cant stop thinking abt all the side effects of pregnancy either. it is such a beautiful thing being able to become a mother but it comes at the expense of my own health. and my mom suffered like long lasting effects from having my and my siblings so im afraid that ill have to live with the same difficulties that could be avoided when not having kids ☹️

You can literally go blind from the stress on the body when giving birth or even being pregnant. Are you fucking with me? Hell no.

not to mention how fucking expensive it is and have to deal with it FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
