Lost the edge

Vent / Rant

For the longest time, I would have a visceral reaction to anything related to pregnancy/parenting/etc. Thinking about having a child in my house would make my heart race. Co-workers announcing their pregnancies would make my face flush. I nearly gagged listening to someone tell me about their unexpected natural birth. All of a sudden recently all of that is gone. Reading birth horror stories barely makes a muscle tense. So now I'm just supposed to ... be ok with the thought of having kids???? WT actual F?
