I don't even have to blink. I would love to. But I'm also responsible. I think it's something both parties have to be in agreement on (and I prefer it if the man initiates), and the timing has to be right. So until that's the case I will simply have to live without. And it also means I have a very upfront stance on birth control and consequences. I take precautions, but if they fail, then fully expect me to follow through on it. Don't even mention the alternative. I don't need a man staying behind because he feels trapped; it's not the relationship I want. I'm certainly not the type to get pregnant on the sly, even if by some miracle, I could.
For the record I loved being pregnant, and survived childbirth. It was 55 hours of hell, but oh so well worth it. The stretch marks do come during, towards the end, and entirely based on genetics and how quickly you gain. They also cease to be very noticeable after the first year (they start off purple and fade to silver then skin tone). Yes I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Everything was more than worth it.
Argh, if I was faced with the chance today I'd have a hard time turning it down - but I would... for now. I need to be more settled at work, and lower my debts.
Be careful waiting too long to have children. The body bounces back better in your twenties, and infertility rates at 30 and 40 are considerably higher than the media leads you to believe.
