Perhaps I should have a kid

Maybe that would solve these problems I have 12 times per year...the times when I feel like my body is running a marathon!

It's either a kid, or surgery, and you know how surgeries can go awry (is that the correct spelling?).

But I think the only kind of kid I could manage to have is a goat kid. I really don't know what I would do with a child though. I don't feel like taking on that kind of responsibility.

Maybe I just have no ambition.

Isn't every woman supposed to WANT a kid to fulful the "be fruitful and multiply" command, rather than wanting one to get rid of a medical condition?

Nooooooo Yammy NOT EVERY WOMAN IS SUPPOSED TO WANT A KID. There is just a ridiculous amount of pressure from most people in society. I was thinking about blogging this subject myself, perhaps I will now.

Oh, and don't have a kid in an effort to fiz your medical problem - Ive heard just as many people say it only makes you worse as have said it makes things better.

I keep looking to age 50 and wonder if at that time I will regret not having one of mi own.

I could put my foot in my mouth but I'm not going to (and you can't force me either)

you should see that Spike Lee Joint "She hate me" and maybe that answers the question about women's natural ambition or not.And if it's any consolation, as a woman I completely I understand-

Michelle, tried to read the comments here this morn, but the box wouldn't open....computers and their moods I guess.

I agree that you should not have a child to solve medical issues. Firstly, because the having a child may not solve them. Secondly, you are not going to have a child, just for having a child's sake. You will have your little one with someone you love and can forsee a long term (hopefully lifelong) relationship with. You will raise the kid in a home filled with love etc. I know it may sound all too mushy to you, but that is really the way it should be. No having baby just because.... OK.

Having a baby is not something you should do to solve any sort of problem. I'm sure you're just talking out loud here so I aint worried about you. You is a smart girl.

When the fruitful and multiply command was made the world was empty. All now it too full so doh feel no pressure to procreate just because.Babies are wonderful and the birth experience is miraculous but its a personal choice whether or not you wanna have babies.If you are good and ready and have excellent support then go for it. But please not to fill any societal pressure

Hmmm, don't feel too bad Mich, if you ever feel the desire to have a kid after a certain point, you can adopt :).

I agree with most of whats been said here. Also, I want to underscore what Angry Dog said: Adoption is a viable choice, and nuff, nuff children out there need a loving parent. With all of that, I do offer a proviso. Get the kiddies when they are young, young. They can be very problematic when they are older. Then again, to take them when they are older and work, and work with them is perhaps one of the ultimate expressions of human love around! Only, you have to be sure you can deal with it. Later, I have to go to work and put out fires...

Have one. If you don't like it, stop there. If you do. Have another.
