Thoughts on Birth:

For the past year or two, messages have been thrown at me about pregnancy, im movies such as Juno, and Knocked up, in tv shows such as, the Secret Life of the American Teenager and One Tree Hill, and in books such as, Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer, Wicked by Gregory Maguire, Impossible by Nancy Werlin, and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khalid Hosseini . Showing the audience the positive and negative aspects of child birth. The positive aspects being that you can raise a child with the one you love, or giving the child so someone who can raise the baby in a loving and caring environment. The negative aspects being, the painful and gruesome aspects during the actual child birth, or the disappointment of the child itself, or the failure to being able to raise the child due to lack of money or time to care for the child. Personally, I don't think it would be the best choice to have a child when the parent(s) do not have what it takes to raise the child, how he/she grows up affects the life he/she lives and the child shoud not have to suffer for their parents mistake if they do not have to. Personally, I would like to have kids when I can support him/her. The connection between mother and child I think is a powerful one that i would like to have one day with my own child. But what I would worry about is the physiacality of the birth itself, from what I hear it isnt exactly pleseant. I also worry about whether I would be a suitable parent for the child.
