Are these normal feelings and what should I do about them? Women only please...?
Sometimes I feel an intense hatred for my body and it's ability to reproduce. I'm 25. My hormones and my body seem to desire pregnancy. For some reason I'm more easily aroused during ovulation, and when I get my period I'm relieved yet strangely sad. I cannot stand the thought of bearing children or becoming a womb. I don't think I will ever want to have children. Does anyone else ever feel this way? Does this have something to do with how maternal I am? Am I just being selfish? What if I get married and decide not to 'give' my husband children? In what sense do men instinctually desire maternal women? Am I just with the wrong man? How does the desire to reproduce factor in subconsciously when looking for a partner?

It is normal for some women to not want children. If you are with a guy who wants kids, it is unfair of you to just decide that you don't want kids without consulting him. Most men do want women that are willing and able to have children. It is not their primary thought when the get married, but ultimately, they want kids. I think all of this goes back to the fact that we are animals and it is our programed duty to reproduce to carry on our kind.

I don't really know how to answer your question as I have always had the desire to be a mother, I have two gorgeous girls 3 and 1. They are the light of my life. I think maybe if you find the right guy maybe you'll want to create something that is part you and part him. Let me tell ya though, there is nothing like being a mother. I loved being pregnant too, I loved feeling this baby kick and move inside me. Some men will want children some won't, you just have to discuss this before your married.
