Why childfree?

For starters childfree means that a person does not want their own children especially by choice.

Now, Since y'all ask me all the time I'm writing it for once and no I will not change my mind just to have your baby. Ew.

Having a kid is a huge responsibility and I don't have the desire to have a child. I am loving and caring but I just don't want to have a baby of my own. I have babysit my cousins and I have younger sisters too jinkay liye I have always cared. I never had a maternal instinct kick in. I love my cats. I don't want a kid enduring any sort of trauma. Why have a baby when his/her primary caregiver isn't keen on having them? Being the eldest and having family issues, I always had to be there for everyone now I want to achieve my career goals, travel, live happily and explore life with my husband (non-existent as of now 😭👍). I just have alot to do.

Secondly, I work in a hospital. I've seen pregnant women struggling with so much. I've heard their screams during labor. They say giving birth is like surrendering your body. I talk to them and all and bas afterwards bhi after delivery there are so so many problems. So yeah birth trauma. Here are some reasons if you think it's not convincing enough.

You can rip your clit or vagina fully.

You can lose all your teeth and hair.

Peeing every-time you cough,sneeze or laugh after and during pregnancy.

You can lose ur life giving birth

Babies can poop + pee in u and you can develop infections from it

Potential Hemorrhoids (w diarrhea)

Belly button hernia

Your uterus can literally prolapse / fall out

You can go blind

Potential Broken/ dislocated tail bone

Risk of developing random new allergies

You can developer diabetes or high blood pressure

You have to wear a adult diaper after pregnancy

The sound of a child scream crying daily

Your brain gets smaller during pregnancy but swells

Your umbilical cord can get stuck inside you

Pregnancy hives

Bad Halitosis

Constant back pain and fever during pregnancy

You have to get your blood drawn ALOT

Acne breakouts all over body

Swollen ankles

Potential itchy stretch marks everywhere

Your intestines can be kicked

UTIs

Placenta previa (bleeding out of vag constanty)

Labor can go on for days

Post Partum depression and psychosis

Bleeding gums

An epidural is a tube that stays in ur back for all of labor and the needle is almost 5” , it can kill you.

hyperemesis gravidarum

the baby relies on the calcium you eat to develop their bones. If you don't get enough, your body will use calcium from your bones to nourish your baby — which can lead to osteoporosis (weak bones) later in life

postpartum preeclampsia

Newborns have really sharp fingernails and during labor they can slice you open.

The doctor could have take your uterus out and then put it back in.

I guess this can be labelled as tokophobia. Anyways a kid is a lifetime responsibility that should be thought out carefully. I wish people took the time out and think instead of just bringing children in this world and letting them get depressed later.

For the good of all and harm to none. To each their own. Peace.
