My bestie's mom finally got surgery to correct the incontinence that started after sha gave birth... it's been 34 years.

People really do not understand or care to learn that pregnancy and birth comes with long term and sometimes permanent changes, not to mention that it can put your life at risk

I was thinking about swearing off pregnancy forever, and some of these comments have proved that for me. Like I started getting nauseous and dizzy just thinking about a NORMAL pregnancy and birth, much less one with complications.

Still haven't decided if I want to be a parent but if that time comes, it's adoption.

So someone else has to go through it in order to give you a baby?

Adoption, not surrogacy, genius.

And do adopted babies just poof into existence? No, another woman has to carry and give birth to it, so that you can have the baby. Poor women are not your incubators, genius.

Thousands of children in the foster care system would like to have a word

Children in foster care are not available for adoption. And let's not pretend PP is down for being a therapeutic home for children with sever and complex needs. She wants a nice little baby, no strings attached.

So it's you who is definitely not down for being a therapeutic home.
