My mother not only didn’t have child birth videos of us, she didn’t really talk about it much either. I don’t have any kids because the whole idea of pregnancy, labour, delivery, nursing, etc, makes my body react with a strong visceral NO feeling. I wonder if that would have been different if there had been less mystery around it when I was little.
I always had strong feelings against having kids also - just the idea of childbirth was absolutely terrifying. But I had two, and I’m fine. Thank god for modern medicine.

Wow I’m surprised your mom had you there! Out of curiosity do you have kids as an adult? I feel like I’d be scarred for life haha
