I feel the choice to have a child or not should come down to a few things… do you feel a calling to be a mother? If you feel a calling deep down inside you somewhere then you should experience motherhood. We have a 10 month old and it is so very difficult. I miss my old life, my old self, my old body. But the moments of wonder and beauty with our son make the struggle worth it.

Omg, yes to this. I had two different women tell me while I was knee deep in newborn hell with a colicky newborn who only contact slept for 4 months that it doesn’t get easier. I’m not 9 months out and feel so much rage at the insensitivity of saying something so ridiculous to someone desperately trying to survive PP life.
