    I was just wondering how many girls out there want baby's and how many girls don't. And those who are still thinking about it.

    As when I was in hospital across the room from my mums there was a girl who had cancer and had to have a hysterectomy and she was only about 20 y/old and so she had to face the fact that she could not have children which would have been sad for her.

    Its not high on my list of things to do. Never has been... don't think it ever will be. I don't "awwwww" over babies. I don't enjoy babysitting other peoples kids. People say this will change... but they've been telling me this since I was 7, and I am now 27. I'm not holding my breath in expection of awaking one morning with an sudden urge to procreate.

    But then again, getting married was never high on my list either... and now here I am with a ring on my finger and a white dress in my closet. So... i might have kids.. never know.

    edit: as of december, I am pregnant.... ohhhhh... the irony.

    yes, I love childern. My childern are the best thing thats ever happened to me even if they were not planned. I'm currently pregnant and I can say this probably won't be our last child. We both want a big family but I think for now we will just have our 3 and think about more in 5 years.

    i really dont want to have a child.... but at the same time its beginning to grow on me.

    like im growing up now. im not living at home. i hanging out with loads of different people, seeing new things, experiencing new things, and i think that one day having a child will be one of the things on my list of things to do and then be on my list of things ive experienced.

    i dont think i want to go thorugh life without using this part of me up. so im sure i will have at least one... somewhen

    Yes, in a few years.

    I would hate to have a hysterectomy at 20, beyond the fact of not being able to have biological offspring. Obviously, it goes without saying that it's better than cancer, but basically going thru the hormonal shifts comparabe to menopause that young is hard on your body (from what I've heard anyway)... Poor girl.

    Of course, she can still have kids... She'll just have to adopt!

    I used to want kids, but that has changed as I have gotten older. My patience really isn't there for a baby, I REALLY like my sleep, and well, it just doesn't feel like the thing to do right now. My two furry babies are enough for me...

    I don't go all goo-goo over every single baby there ever was. Some people do. I find that annoying. Those babies will grow up some day, and those same people don't go all goo-goo over strangers on the street either...it's a hypocritical thing to me.

    I love my children and both were planned...I'm just not an "other people's children" kind of person.

    You'll want kids just as you're too old to have any and are told you can't.

    Growing up, I never wanted to have kids. Now that I'm an adult and have found who I am and what I have to share with the world, I really want to have a child (or two, or three) to leave a legacy. I have a lot of good morals and ideals that I think would be good for the world...and passing that torch to a child is a perfect way to keep those morals and ideals alive.

    I work with children and everyday I keep thinking how much I want to have kids. If I got pregnant tomorrow, I'd be happy.

    Although, I'm facing the fact that I may never have children. I have a abnormal uterus and it may not be able to carry a child. The doctors don't know. Some women can with my condition and others cannot.

    There's always adoption...

    Yeah, but no time soon


    I like babies/children and apparently have some ability with them, hang out in parenting forums to learn, obsess about names etc.

    Just know that it would an utterly stupid idea right now, and am so not ready in any sense (finacially, emotional etc). Guess if it did happen I'd just hang in there and make a good job. Still it's not ideal so am not going to risk it.

    Am very happy to wait, maybe 5-10 years (I've just turned 20). That should long enough to have suitable life experience and be settled.

    I never want kids. Ever.

    I won't even get into it. I am a very laid back person, but for some reason, kids just make me want to tear my hair out.

    Every month that I get my period, I want to sing and dance and rejoice, that I don't have to worry about being a mother.

    hehe. i wanted absolutely nuthin' to do with the little monsters until about 23 or 24. then suddenly i was foaming at the mouth to have a baby. not that it'll happen to you, but i despised children after having had to raise so many for my mother and brothers. so i was saying the same thing and it made me chuckle. now i'm blissfully happy with my own little monster. when i though t i would be unable to have another, i was so depressed.

    When I was younger I didn't want kids but now I'd love to have children (not yet though!) Ideally I'd like to have them at around 30 years old.
