No, but seriously, I’d love to have someone growing inside me. That’s my ultimate wish. I REALLY want to be pregnant :(

Anyone else?

    Oof! >4.3 kg ? That’s rough, your partner’s strong. Does the extra weight make birth harder, or is it mainly with carrying, or both?

    I don’t know why but despite all the pain and those descriptions, this makes me want to experience it only the more.

      Probably both? But it takes a toll every time the most recent one was just over 4.8 kg and she gave birth to him vaginally in her early 40’s with only a small superficial tear. Not sure how she pulled it off but I was very impressed. When I told my colleagues how much he weighed all the men congratulated me and looked excited and all the women visibly winced and asked if she was ok.

        Late but idk if i was clear; with regard to carrying i meant during pregnancy, not after birth. Like, that’s probably gonna be extra back ache, feeling heavy, idk.

        That said, lol yeah, I can see that different reaction. One group doesn’t know how painful it is because they don’t really experience it themselves (though they can sympathise), the other does.
