Is it normal to be terrified of pregnancy?

5 Comments

I honestly think the worst thing that could ever happen to me would be getting pregnant. I'd be forced to abort, otherwise I swear I would kill myself. I'm not sure why but the whole pregnancy/labor part (plus raising kids but that doesn't bother me that much) makes me feel like dying. And I don't meant this because it would be bad timing, I don't wanna ever have kids not in 5, 10 or 20 years.

    Then be safe or don't have sex. Just warn your fiancé that you feel that way should you ever get one...

    Same. The thought of something growing inside of me is terrifying, and then having to give birth with huge amounts of pain. Also I don't even like babies/kids..

    I never wanted a baby.
    Then one day it just happened.
    It was weird because I couldn't get pregnant for 6 months.
    one day it just happened
    I thought something was seriously wrong with my body
    I actually think there still might be because I had 4 miscarriages since the birth of my daughter 5 years ago.

    the recent one that happened was 4 months ago.
    I was crying this last time.
    I genuinely wanted a second baby with my new boyfriend before he left me. Things were so good between us. I don't know what happened in his brain to make him walk out of my life the way he did. He use to talk to me about us making a life together. Suddenly one day he just walked out of our lives without any communication. He dropped me off the face of the planet after telling me he was so in love with me.

    I use to be scared of getting pregnant a second time because the first time I was gestational diabetic.
    It has been 5 years. I eat much healthier and work out weekly.
    I am not scared of getting pregnant again.
    I want another baby but i don't see it happened anytime soon. Unless I remarry a great man someday who will buy a house for us and take care of us.

    Huh. I feel that way too, but only because of bad timing. I would hate having a baby at this point in my life. Being pregnant itself doesn't bother me!

    Strangely enough I have actually had weird maternal urges that make me really want a baby for some reason. Then logic comes in and pops a cap in my maternal feelings asshole.
