Imagine going through all this after giving birth to a baby boy just for him to grow up and disrespect women.

[@Vale-dh1tn]

PeechieMeechie11 hun, a child isn’t born disrespecting women. In order for this to happen, they had to have experienced something (verbal or physical trauma), and/or never taught how to deal with their emotions so they project it out on women in violent ways, and/or simply weren’t taught or modeled respect and boundaries in general. Adults that do these things are just broken and wounded children. They are a result of their childhood experiences. All of us are. The way our brains process those experiences is different for everyone so that’s why people act out in different ways. For example, some sexually abused people may get depressed, some may abuse drugs or alcohol, some project it out on men/women through physical violence. The way our brain defends itself is out of our control and until we become aware of it, we can’t truly heal and change. Don’t blame the boy, he’s unknowingly a product of his childhood experiences, negative and positive just like you an me.

What they were talking about is commom but it doesn't happen to everyone. Postpartum hair loss is temporary and genetic, many women don't lose their hair. Hemorroids are made when you push too long or when it's unessecary because that pressure cause the veins to swell and pop out. Prevention there is to only push when you get the urge, otherwise you will do more harm than good. And the blatter being weak, belly being loose is nornal because your muscles got loose even the one controlling your bladder. What you can do is exercise before and after pregnancy like mild gymnastics it's actually recommended. So yeah, no woman have the same experience and what you go trough can be either prevented or helped

And why am I disgusting for wanting to have someone else have my children that I am clearly planning and desiring?

Or the pharma companies that have ruined many a person into incapable parents!

[@Czarina888777]

Claire from experience the woman* not girls, that do surrogacy do iit because they have children of their own and understand the toll and are able tp put a price tag on it. Paying a surrogate isn’t cheap! And they get paid whether pr not a birth is successful. Do NOT make it seem like there’s a rich class paying 20 year old to pop out kids. There’s a requirement for these women go be previous mothers and to understand the situation and risk. They don’t do it out of need or greed! They do it to help another couple have a child regardless of there being infertility issues or just issues of employment and lifestyle not allowing for a biological pregnancy! You’re so uneducated.

I didn't get any stretch Mark's. It's genetic on my mom's side of the family. Never had postpartum depression. My baby was born in the summer. I was out with her all the time. Didnt have to be locked inside the home in the cold. She was a pretty easy baby. At 4 months old she started sleeping the whole night. She is now 11 years old 🧡

I’d say the already overburdened and overpopulated planet, the physical pain and horrors of pregnancy, my own mental health, time, freedom, career, creativity, travel, and alone time rank above the vanity. I didn’t mention anything about the way I look. And what on earth does getting old have to do with it? Yes, we’re all going to get old and wrinkly one day (if we’re lucky!). That’s a fact of life and happens kids or no kids. What matters to me is what I do and how I live on the way to that point.

Abigail Hannah baby blues are real, hair loss hits around 3 months of age, your body/uterus takes about 6 weeks to shrink back but don’t expect to bounce back that fast (the 3 months postpartum has been referred to as the ‘fourth’ trimester because all the body changes), breast feeding is HARD if you choose this route be extra sure you’re educated on what to do when and ask tons of questions.... this is just stuff you may not have heard.

NOT every pregnancy has all these things happen for myself: My feet never grew, I never got new stretch marks (have old ones), didn’t gain weight during pregnancy but did afterwards, milk never came in (no one tells you that part), skin no change, daughter kicked one of my ribs into another so now that spot feels weird, varicose veins nope, hair loss BIG time thankfully naturally way to thick so no big deal for me oh it went back to more curls and some of the other stuff nope. Food cravings that have not left

[@AirQuotes]

Exactly I had so much milk, no weight gain or varicose vein and my hair actually grew or morning sickness and my stomach deflated within hours. But i did get weird dark patches on my skin, my breasts are not perky. Every pregnancy is so different. They should remind people only a few things will probably happen per person.
