Well everyone on here has been trying so long and hard to try and have a baby. It is so stressful and emotionaly straining and I just wanted to see what everone says on why do you keep going. What makes us take pills that make us feel horrible. What makes us go through so much strain and wear and tear on our bodies. All the nights of staying up and crying. Seeing a pregnant woman walking by and thinking stink terd! why does she get one....what makes us keep going and keep reaching for a child. I wonder why i have dealt with this for over 2 years. Ok just a deep thought. Why don't we give up?


 


 


By the way this is not a poor spirited question i think it is just good sometimes to think about why we are doing this and what made us start in the first place. just thought i would add that in.

My sister in law had a baby nearly two years ago, my nephew.

Hello,


I think this is a great, thought provoking question.

What makes me keep going? Hmm...great question. For me, having a child means that a part of me will still be here and go on long after my time on Earth is through. To some ppl, life is all about succeeding at work, but after you pass on, someone else takes over ur job and it's like u never existed. To have a child means that for years to come, ppl will say "That's Candy's son/daughter/granddaughter/grandson etc. Just thinking about that fills me w/a sense of joy and pride.
