Thread: Completely scared of giving birth one day.

haha...im only eighteen, but ive often thought of having children some day. the thought of child birth scares the heck out of me too!!! but what scares me more, is post partum.

see, im not really chemically balanced. you know like i just get incredibly depressed sometimes, and im not sure why. im not unhappy, but its just my head is telling that i am. it lasts for a little bit, and then goes away.

so it scares me that if i were to have a child, my heart would love that child, but my mind would be telling me that im so depressed and unhappy. and i would never want tko have a child if i wasnt able to love it with all my heart.....does that make sense???

anyway i want to have foster kids. why make more when there are so many that need good homes??

Ok so how crazy is it that I asked this question in Aug. And now I'm pregnant. I'm 23 now and totally excited. I'm deciding not to watch like TLC channel that show labor and delivery. I want to experience my own birth not anyone else's. But like my sister told me, she just didn't think about it till the time came to just do what she had to do. So that's what i will do to. Both hers were natural, so maybe I will have similar experiences.
