[quote=Anonymous]I wanted a child in the worst way.  Was 35, no boyfriend, and heard the biological clock ticking.  I love children, my profession is with young children, etc.

And then my sister got pregnant and had placenta previa and could NOT get out of bed for last 5 months. Husband cooked, brought her food, cleaned the house (or his job paid for the cleaner), cleaned the cat litter boxes, fed the cats, did the shopping, etc.  And I realized that I wouldn't have ANYONE who could do that if I had any complications.

(Her's was really bad - she was allowed to leave bed to go to living room in the morning, then go back to bed at bedtime, and to walk to bathroom as needed - but no going outside, no standing and cooking, no nothing.)

Of course many pregnancies are easy peasy but what if it wasn't? WHAT was I going to do?  and I was in early childhood education so my salary was not enough to get things delivered, hire a cleaner, etc.  So I decided not to do it.  But everyone has different points of view.[/quote]
