Thank you so much for this, Ali. I resonated with so much. Although I don't have tokophobia, I have never wanted kids and very much feel that having them would cause havoc to my mental health and I wouldn't be able to be the parent needed. I feel so lucky to have a choice, even if it isolates me from the "norm,"particularly seeing what is happening in Russia right now.
Thanks Jill. I feel similarly. So relieved to have the choice. And yet, this choice does bring it’s own set of difficulties. But I am grateful to live my life in accordance with my own authenticity.
Much of this resonates with me. 💕 You are not alone in your feelings. I’ve always known that I never wanted children, and the thought of being pregnant scared me to the doctor when I was a teenager to ensure that I took responsibility for not ever, ever getting pregnant. I’m thankful to have that choice.
