BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids Does the idea of giving birth disgust anyone else?

I agree Pets4Me, this string IS hilarious!

And RavynG, your 2nd post is the grossest thing I've ever heard!!

First of all, my husband would have to move into a hotel for 9 months with all the nausea & moodiness I know I'd have. I'd need a straight jacket.

And I'm terrified of hospitals, especially that vunerable feeling I'd have if I'm laying there & my crotch is open to the world and the center of attention for docs & nurses & who-knows-who else. Not to mention I've heard you [censored] yourself and don't even care because of the face-melting pain and screaming.

What I don't get is people even film you doing it, and some even invite their whole families!?

Horror movie material to me! I can live without it!

OMG! My friends sister-in-law invited her entire family along with her husband's family to watch her give birth. I cannot imagine anything more disgusting than sitting there in front of my husband's father and brothers with them staring at my huge crotch as it is ripped and torn!! UGH!! Ok, I have to stop I am making myself sick with this one...

I remember when my old friend had her baby at 13 she wanted me there. I was like look its 400 in the morning on xmas day I have to open my presents soon I have to go lol. Oh sorry yeah it gross me out but not seeing it, its the smell that gets to me it smelled like nasty old taco bell lol Ooohh that smell I like that song lol

Definitely disgusting.

And I know some women don't look awful during pregnancy, but I remember when my cousin was pregnant, she looked like she felt like [censored] every second, tired, ill, etc.

I also remember another girl I knew in college. I was horrified after she had a baby....she wasn't FAT but she definitely weighed more all over than she used to and it didn't look like just something she was going to lose later but like pregnancy had made her actually structurally heavier, heavier bones or something. Egh.

I watch alot of the TLC shows (Baby Stories). I love it I think its neat except for when they do C-sections. I hate those, when the doctor say "Ok now you are going to feel a little pressure". Then they are jerking the baby and pushing on the mom stomach. Oh man it gets me in a twist. I use to tape the show and make my fiance watch it. The first time I taped it wrong and the audio was bad. When he saw the lady giving birth he said, I dont know what just happen but it gave me a really funny feeling between my legs. lol

My brother said that when he delived his puppies it brought back the worse memories he ever had of his wife giving birth. He said it was so bad that he couldnt eat eggs for months.

The whole concept of pregnancy, childbirth, stretchmarks, breast feeding, and how it totally destroys your body, disgusts me beyond belief. I am so glad to hear I am not the only one who thinks like this. To me, it is nasty and gross and I am so glad that will never be my life!

It maybe gross and all but I have to say it seems like the best thing that can ever happen to some women. Think about the ladies who cant have kids I feel deeply sorry for them that they cant carry their genes. I cant wait to be a mother, just think about it if our mom would of thought that giving birth was so gross we wouldnt be here. I know its gross and all but our mom love us so much to have us. My mom knows that its gross but she love me and my four brothers enough to have us. She doesnt want to be there when I have mine but she cant wait to have grand kids from her only daughter. You can always get your body back in shape just dont be lazy about it. There are creams to get rid of some of the stretchmark. If it totally demolish the body of every women that gave birth on earth I think the second woman would of have stopped the cycle. Dont get me wrong its gross but we were giving a chance of life.

I had a funny thought recently. By now, we all know that it's so unfair for the woman to go through nine months of misery and for the man to go through none of it. If possible, one of two things should occur instead.

1. Inflict physical torture on the father while the wife is giving birth.

2. Incubate babies in artificial wombs instead of the woman's.

Eww, you purposely watch stuff like that? In my major I have to know about the human body. Throughout my course work when it can to prenatal development and anatomy stuff I had this bad habit of tuning it out. Lectures always sudden became very uninteresting.
Huge stomach, morning sickness, swollen feet, fat, stretch marks, loose skin, never wearing a bikini again, birth, and the following 18+ years after that was never something that sounded appealing to me.
