I am a mother of two and i love being one! i feel that i have the best and hardest responsibility among all the other 'professions' in the world. but when i talked to other women some of them don't want to bear a child! i wonder why and don't they have this frustration that if they don't bear a child,they would not feel their own child having its first heartbeat on their own belly... kindly answer my question so that i can understand why these women have these kinds of thoughts regarding bearing a child...

There may be some good reasons why some married women doesn't want to bear child. It may be health-related and its understandable. But if not, then I can say that it may be because of the responsibility that comes along with having children. Include also the pain and the labor that the woman will undergo before a child is born into this world. I admire and appreciate women like you who love being a mother to her kids. Happy mothering, if there is such a word. w00t

It's painful, it expensive, children can complicate things, it is a major responsibility. I am a woman who does not want children right now because I see other women having children and I think to myself that I am just not ready for that kind of responsibility yet. Also, I know women who have children that are special needs. Seeing that really makes me not want to have children, I don't want my child to suffer like that. There are many things that can turn women off when it comes to having children. I think that children are a lot to take care of.

as a mother i always thought of that also,those kind of illnesses that my children could get. but for me i believe that with God's guidance and protection,He will not give us trials as such that we cannot handle.Thank you for your point of view.

Okay, I am not really religious, and genetically, I know that I could give birth to a child that will not be well. Women in my family are not bearers of children, my aunt had three children and two out of the three died, the first child nearly died after birth, what save his life was the fact that his mother ate a lot when she was pregnant with him; lastly, my mother had two children, my brother and myself. My brother died three years ago, he had Type 1 Diabetes, a condition that I would not wish on anyone, and as for me, there are times where I should have been dead, and if I did not make it to the local hospital in time, I surely would have.

Those of us women who have problems with out genetic make-up, and we know that we have problems, we have to considered all of those issues. I would not wish for any child to have the kinds of medical problems that my brother and me had. Some people do not understand that when you have a child anything and everything can go wrong. My brother suffered for eight years, he battled depression, self-consciousness, and many other kinds of issues all because of his Type 1 Diabetes. I have been told that I do not have the gene for Juvenile Diabetes, but I do have other things in my genetic make-up that can produce a child with Diabetes if I happen to produce a child with a man who has the gene. I take all of this into consideration because I know that the genes are there. My cousin and I both have problems with our immune systems, and we have had to fight for years to get that under control. You cannot begin to imagine how much medicine I have to take a day because of all of the problems I have.

In my family, there are always risks when having children.

There are probably quite a few reasons as to why some women do not want to bear children or simply do not want to have any. For some, it might have to do with their health or something like that. Motherhood is a stage that is made for some women and not for others. Some women may not want to have to be responsible for their own children or something like that.

I was a divorced mom, a working single mother and that responsibility is a lot for one person to raise children by themselves. I only had one child because I realized that my husband was constantly unfaithful and I knew that we would be divorced no matter how many times I tried to work it out.

If the relationship between partners is not solid, it is also a reason for not bearing children. It is definitely not easy to do it alone.

There are so many reasons why a woman may not want children, probably more than the reason to have children. It is a personal choice and I would rather have someone say openly that they do not want to be a mother than go ahead and have a child and ignore or mistreat it. There are way too many unwanted children in the world.

Some women afraid to bear a child because of the pain and pregnancy going to change their figure. Having a child is not easy it takes a lot of responsiblities and patience. The other reason is health but most of the time women want to enjoy their freedom.


jerenah2022 (10)   ranked 3,320 out of 18,994 in questions & answers  3 weeks ago

i'm on that reason too. if the partner is just a "sperm donor" why add another child to suffer with you? as for me,one child is enough if the things around you is not going very well. thank you for the response.

Some of my former female colleagues prefer not to bear a child. Some are afraid of losing the current post, which gives them self esteem and financial support. Others are hesitating to downgrade their living quality because of high cost of raising a child. They shift the responsibility to their brothers or sisters. Out of concern for their parents, most only child would think twice before deciding not to bear a child for ever. Quite some change their mind after staying rejective for more then five years. They finally experience the joy of parenting. Most parents would not interfere in the decision, but accept whatever their children make, in spite of the earnest wish to see their grandchildren.

There are many reasons, it might be financial she may feel that they can't afford a child, she may be in an abusive/controlling relationship and does not want to bring a child into it, she may want to focus on her career. There are too many reaons to list it's best to ask the person delicately why they made that choice but you have to accept that some women don't want to discuss it as it is a very personal choice, and probably not an easy one.

I think these women aren't ready to take such big responsibility yet.I am 20 years old and honestly speaking,I'm not even ready yet.But I do agree that being a mother is the most rewarding profession in the world.I sure would be a mother soon.

i think it might be like because they lose their beauty. Their body become shapeless, they want to be more responsible which might be a burden for them. They cannot enjoy going here and there and whereever they want to at whatever time. They will become committed to the life. Should feed them and not feeling free because always the thoughts of the baby will worry them.That's why i guess some women not prefer babies for some year

There are lots of reason. Some don't want because they biologically can't, some don't want or are hesitant for some personal reasons. I have a colleague who is hesitant to have children. She was a teacher and she had lots of sad and traumatic experiences with her students. Some can't say that they don't want because they are very satisfied and happy not having children. It really boils down to what will make someone happy, career, family, children. I won't take it against the woman if she doesn't want to bear children as we have the rights to our own lives and the woman should not be obligated to have children.
