CrazyMusicLover It is important to know and accept that by getting pregnant, you're always potentially risking your own life whether short or long term, even if you've had your entire medical profile mapped out, there are still risks and those are just approximate predictions.
The part that annoys me though is how people are quick to have children before ensuring their child will grow up is safe and healthy context, especially financially.
Money is really important. It is important for their education, their physical security, the quality of healthcare they will recieve...everything.
And more crucial than that is their ability to parent . We cannot be the best parent they can have if we have no ability to manage our moods, mental illness, still struggling with addictions, can't manage healthy life style..etc. We don't have to be perfect but there certainly needs be level of willingness to grow and learn. I don't see that with most people who want to have kids, it is just the next step in social life.
