I got pregnant because I promised Rob we will have a baby. It was the only reason, honestly. I knew full well all the reasons against it – because with a baby you lose your identity to become just “a Mum”, because it ruins your health and your figure, because you will never have a night of unbroken sleep - and the list goes on. But I knew he would be never happy without a child and that was enough for me to give him one. Well, that and the fear of the decision to never have children. Final decisions are scary – how can a person decide today that they are not going to want kids tomorrow? Aren’t men lucky – they can always change their mind and have a baby at any stage of their life. Women are limited by their biological clock an it is ticking – tick-tick-tick, hurry-up, have a baby today because tomorrow might be too late.
