[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, there was no question.  I always wanted kids and am happy to have them.  I also got lucky and got two awesome kids.

But, seriously, if you are even asking this question, just don't have kids.  Your priorities are screwed up.  If you were asking about risks to your -health- and the changes that can happen with pregnancy to your health, that would be one thing.  But your looks?  Nope.   Don't have kids.  Just do what you do best and focus on yourself.[/quote]

Disagree, it's a fine question to ask. Your looks are part of who you are, and feeling upset about your changing body is a really common effect of pregnancy and parenting (also associated with PPD). And that's without the unrealistic pressure we put on women to "bounce back." We are allowed to care how we look.

Worrying about this does not make OP unfit to parent, it makes her honest with herself about whether she's ready to be a parent. [/quote]

Wow, no, looks are not part of "who you are."  They are simply your container.  The wrapping paper, if you will.  If you really believe "[y]our looks are a part of who you are,"  then aging is going to be very very tough on you, kid or not.[/quote]
