[quote=Anonymous]This is me, OP.  Absolutely horrified by the idea of pregnancy and childbirth.  I have no "good reason" but it is undeniably how I feel.

I had one kid by elective c-section, which was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

Even though I had an easy pregnancy, I was certain I would never get pregnant again: my friends were having second kids and I felt the same horror I had before getting pregnant with my first.  I have wavered because I would like another kid, but I waited too long and have not been able to keep a subsequent pregnancy (I'm 40, almost 41).  Every time I have been pregnant I have felt squicky about it, and my miscarriages have been a weird mix of sadness and relief.

Being one and done is good!  But if you truly want another biological kid, I would get on it now: don't wait like I did.  Ask your OB is there is something you can safely take for anxiety about TTC/pregnancy.  And if childbirth is the issue, planned c-section is a really good answer.
