I completely understand. I lost an ovary to tumors from extreme endometriosis. The tumors keep returning. This time they were all over my remaining ovary , my uterus &bladder. The hormone treatment made me so sick.I have reached a choice. Continue the hormones , which are not even a proven method , or get my uterus removed , which will cure me. I tried the hormone treatment for months. Migraines. Vomiting . Hair loss. It was bad. So recently , I made the choice to get my uterus removed. Because the tumors will return , as they always do. And while losing my uterus means I will never bear children , keeping it is risking me losing my only ovary, which would leave me unable to have children and require me to be on those dreadful hormones for life. It was a very hard choice. I cried and cried. But I'm finally content with it. I just close my eyes &picture me after my uterus is out. Never again suffering these dreadful symptoms & never again having tumors. ❤️

Sorry that's so personal , but I literally just reached this choice this last couple weeks. Just want you to know you're not alone. ❤️❤️❤️

Beyond anything you can imagine....the pain, exhaustion, love, joy, triumph......the emotions are endless......but when your baby is put on tour chest....... pricless instant unimaginable forever real pure true love.

As a Momma of four, now grown, children, I will tell you that LOVE means nothing until you have a child and then even more so with grandchildren. I fell in love 4 times with my kids and then fell MADLY in love with my Grand Daughters. Nothing better.

I am honestly sorrowful when I hear anyone say they can't have children. Pregnancy and child birth is truly an amazing journey. What I found to be even more amazing? My grown daughter giving life/birth to my grandchild. Nothing can prepare you for that journey!

As a woman who can't give birth I totally understand. I hope one day I'll adopt as well.

Perhaps a relative or friend will ask you to be present. I'm an adoptive mom and I was with my daughter when she gave birth to my granddaughter!

As a transman who doesn't even want to adopt children, this has only solidified my opinion in never wanting to be around a person whom I may have to help in the birthing of a child.
