What is it about having a baby that makes it so worth it?

Question

I heard when the woman gets pregnant, she goes through several things,

1) You get morning sickness.

2) You get physically miserable through those 9 long months with a belly that grows and stretches.

3) You go through that agonzing child birth.

4) While pushing the baby out, you have several people you don't know look at you "down there" while you're delivering.


When parents have kids, the woman has to worry about all that yet the man doesn't. So again, what is it about having that baby that makes it so worth it? You go through 9 months and have an agonzing child birth, so being a guy, I can only wonder.

Answer 1

Through all the pain and sickness and whatever else you might heard of everything about it makes it sososososososososososo woth it. Especially at the end when you actually get to look in the eye of that baby that was strecthing your belly and growing inside of you. Wow that's worth it all of it! Gotta Love It

Answer 2

Um, yes, some of us are miserable for the full nine months.

Anyway, to answer the question, yes, for me, pregnancy SUCKED. Labor was no picnic, either, and after 22 hours of all back labor and the epidural didn't work, I ended up needing an emergency c-section, anyway. I then had postpartum depression until my son was almost six months old.

But, I have finally reached a point where I think he was worth all of that. He's starting to become a lot of fun, instead of someone who just eats a cries and poops. And it's interesting, seeing what a little of me and a little of my husband, thrown together, looks/acts like. I don't know, I can't really explain why all that was worth it...except that, however much it all sucked at the time, and however long it lasted, it was temporary, while my son's presence in our lives is permanent (barring anything terrible, obviously).

Answer 3

For me, personally, I had pleasant pregnancies. My first birth was full of interventions and ended in a c-section, which was a very negative experience. However, my lovely daughter is such a light in my life. It's absolutely worth it.

For my second child I was able to contradict all four points. No morning sickness to speak of, not miserable 9 months (although my belly surely did grow!), my childbirth was not agonizing (painful yes, but I was able to manage the pain), and I had my midwife who I knew quite well attending my birth. It was a very positive experience.

It's an honor for me to be the mom of my two little ones. Although I do recall during my last labor, telling my husband that HE'S doing the next one, lol! A man might not endure the trials but on the other hand, he is not privy to the power that a woman giving birth can enjoy.

Answer 4

1. Not everyone gets morning sickness.

2. You're not miserable for 9 months, though towards the end, you do get backaches and such.

3. Giving birth is painful, but I wouldn't call it agonizing. I'd rather give birth than have my appendix rupture.

4. It's the doctors' and nurses' job to "look down there."

Women develop a bond with their children throughout the pregnancy. And fathers do, too, after the baby comes. When you have kids, you'll understand.

Answer 5

Not every woman gets all of those symptoms. Most just get 1 or a few of them. Also not every labor is bad. By the time the pregnancy and labor is over, you have a beautiful baby to hold in your arms. You then don't have the discomfort and pain anymore. You may be a little sore from delivery, but that goes away after a few days.

Answer 6

Well the men have to put up with our raging crabby hormoney that show themselves when they see fit But you obviously don't have kids because if you did you wouldn't be asking this question. The baby is what makes it worth it. Sure you go through 7 of the 9 months either angry or sick but when the baby is out it's your baby, your creation and it's the most wonderful feeling.

Answer 7

Just like any ohter part of life pregnancy is a comletly natural event that does have its ups and downs, but I think that the outcome is what makes the pregnancy completly worth it. You are the vessel in which this beautiful person was brought into this world. This baby is yours and apart of who you are and has been closer to you then anyone else could ever possibly be. Its very special to create something so beautiful then watch them take on the world and grow!

Answer 8

i does no longer have somewhat one till you comprehend you're waiting for it, because of the fact parenthood is a non-give up committment. Plus, you're able to study a thank you to parent, self-discipline, practice, love, and wait and spot with somewhat guy or woman who would not bypass away once you're drained, hungry, or choose somewhat area. that's a extensive committment. It grew to become into completely well worth it for me, yet i grew to become into waiting once I did it. it might have been unfavourable had I had youngsters faster, because of the fact I wasn't waiting for it earlier on. The discomforts of being pregnant and the soreness and complication of hard artwork are quickly forgotten, exceedingly once you seem at your new toddler. in case you do evaluate having somewhat one, teach your self first. there's no longer something so frightening as understanding no longer something till now you get into it. study all on the subject of the numerous techniques on prenatal care, birthing techniques, etc. teach your self on childcare and take parenting training. in case you do get pregnant, take the lamaze training. and characteristic a help team. Have somebody who would supply you a smash once you elect one, exceedingly stunning when you have had your toddler and you're nonetheless healing from the childbirth. there'll be days you elect a snooze. (anybody tells you to sleep whilst toddler does. it is suited. gain this.) yet is is well worth it? Oh, confident, that's. even with the undeniable fact that that's well worth it once you're waiting for it. once you comprehend which you and your husband are the two waiting for it (your dating is doing good etc) then having somewhat one jointly would be an adventure that pulls you even nearer jointly. there's no longer the rest like it. (the closest component i will think of of is having a super puppy, even with the undeniable fact that that is no longer quite an identical.)

Answer 9

It's a process to get the end result: a baby. Yes, most of the symptoms are not enjoyable but no words can describe what it's like to be a mother and love someone so much.

Answer 10

it's almost indescribable. being able to see yourself in your child, watching them learn new things everyday. the hugs and kisses... they are so very precious, and i suppose you'll understand once you're in that delivery room. as far as everyone looking "down there," most mothers don't care, they just want their baby in their arms
it's an amazing thing, becoming a parent. i think its the greatest feeling in the world.
