The point of sex education is to stop children being left ignorant of something that can affect them so deeply, so shouldn't we be giving adolescents, and especially girls, more information in school about what giving birth, something dangerous, life changing and also incredibly common, could be like?
So many women post about childbirth and wondering what it's like and how it feels, and many are afraid and ignorant. In a similar vein, lots of people post about trying to get pregnant where all we teach kids in school is how not to get pregnant, with little or not concern about what happens when you do want to get pregnant or if you leave it too late and things like that. It seems a bit counterproductive to leave such a big blindspot in education.
AIBU to think pregnancy and childbirth and what it's like, its consequences, something a lot of women worry about, should be taught about in a lot more detail in school along with sex ed?
