Search Results: pregnancy stretch marks

A lot of women don't want to have children, or a lot of them, because a) pregnancy and childbirth is painful and b) it can change the body in many unpredictable and undesirable ways even if you can manage to retain a healthy bodyweight and fitness, e. g. working out does not reverse stretch marks or sagging skin.

Let's suppose that the pain is not an issue nor is the changes that pregnancy can cause to out bodies. Let's assume that giving birth is not as painful and the body looks the way it always did after childbirth. If that was the case, would you like to have more children that what you originally want?

I certainly feel like it's a yes for me. I love kids, wanna have some myself, and for now I want at least 2-3 kids but if childbirth and body changing was less of an issue I'd probably wanna have more, like at least 5-6.

Also, poll options apply even to people who don't want to have kids, because zero is also a number/quantity.

I saw some leave a comment on an abortion thread saying that if abortion laws make it so women have to carry a rape child that the man who impregnated them should be castrated. She said that pregnancy can destroy a woman's body through weight gain or her abdomen muscles not going back in place or stretch marks or other health risks like a possible hysterectomy or an ectopic pregnancy (fetus developing in the fallopian tube). She said it also ensures that he cannot do what he did to her to another woman.

I agree personally.


Do you agree? I can't post a pic because I only joined a few days ago and do not have the ability to do it.
