A lot of women act like it's the easiest decision, and I'm just going to have a baby and put my life on hold and not be worried about it. Well, I was worried.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think we are not yet well aware that, unfortunately, we have a short time to be moms. This is not to suggest that we should rush to have children or do it in a crazy way. I think that's the most important decision of a woman's life.
A woman who is not ready to have a baby making it work is not a happy ending to me. It's a personal nightmare.
Going into a pregnancy is a really challenging time for a woman, because it's forever-changing, both mentally and physically.
Just because you can have a baby, it doesn't mean you should. Especially without planning for one or getting married first.
I think women have to be able to choose... sort of, the right of choice. They are the ones that have to make the decision because they're the ones that are going to decide to bring up that child or not.
There are women for whom family is a priority, and they do it. It just wasn't as much a priority for me.
We are really looking at all of our options. I mean, listen, whether it's IVF or whatever it is, we want to have a baby and we will have a baby.
No one understands the shift in priorities about having a child in your life... until you have a child in your life.
I had to make a major decision with myself because I just don't think you can do both: try to have a baby career and raise it and have a baby baby and raise it. And to try to do justice to either one. It was a very conscious decision on my part not to have children - which I have never regretted.
You just need to be honest with how you're feeling. But, a lot of women are afraid of it because they think, 'Oh, they are going to take my baby away. They're gonna call me incompetent. I'm going to lose my job. I've got to be tough, it's a man's world.'
