...that you don’t want to have children?
I’m nearly 32. My DH wants us to have kids. I love children and in an ideal world would like to have them - I always thought I would. But now it’s a realistic prospect, I’m just too terrified of childbirth to do it. The terror sometimes stops me from sleeping and I’m not even pregnant. I’m avoiding sex during my fertile period and finding any reason to delay getting pregnant.
Is this normal? Does every woman feel like this and do I just need to get a grip if I want a family? If so, how did you get a grip?
Thank you.
