and not just expensive, abortion is such an intrusive procedure just like getting your tubes tied or getting an iud. Like yes, everyone SHOULD and is allowed to make their own choice in the moment, but me personally, i don't think i could go through an intrusive body changing procedure like that. Like piercings and tattoos might be where i draw my line at
But how do you not feel dread about all the invasive parts? The constant exams, rectal/vaginal swabs, blood draws, ultrasounds, cervical checks.. and then the full exposure and everything that happens during labor? It all feels so violating to me. Just thinking about it fills me with extreme dread and anxiety.
as someone who’s a few months postpartum it’s not that bad. I used to almost pass out during blood draws, but when you’re getting them for the health of you and your baby, it becomes easy. Like yes, please stick me as many times as possible and check me for my baby. That was probably the easiest part of pregnancy haha
This is gonna sound rude and bitchy of me but I don’t mean to be sorry in advance, not everyone is going to have the same medical anxiety, anxiety, or dread- it’s not a nightmare to some people & that’s their choice. idk if you meant it but you & 1 are almost coming across as making it seem disgusting for her to want kids with the “that’s so violating why would you do that” questions / statements.
