Do you want to have a child? If it is something you really want, I think healing from your past can help you re-define pregnancy in more positive terms. Good Luck to you and welcome to PC

thank you for your response - you've given me some things to think about. it either stems from abuse(which wasnt that bad) or religious upbringing. probably combination of both. i think i want children. i'm pretty sure i'd (we'd) like to raise them . . .the clock is definitely ticking.
not sure i'll ever want to give birth to a child but i do want them in my life.
And i do need to get over this issue becuase it affects other areas of life.
thanks again.
