    Don’t do it. My mother screwed ne up big time when she turned me away from my father. I just never seen him since I was 10 and I was so messed up. I was angry I actually thought I should have been a woman because I felt so left out when my mom and sister did things together. I was overeating them on on drugs for my teens and 20s. I forgave my mother at age 31 but now I’m stuck looking after her as she’s broke and unable to look after herself. I am so lonely and no woman wants me because I live with my mother . She turned me into her husband . All these drug addicts and violent thugs have their mothers nature because they had no father to protect them from their mother . Girls turn out messed up too without a father, We need to stop promoting the traumatization of children

    All the best with your journey to motherhood! It's the best choice I ever made. I'm also a SMBC, and I had my little girl at 33, my baby boy at 35, and I've just turned 36 and already in the process of having baby #3 ❤ Wishing you all the very best! As for the trolls, and negative comments, don't listen to them! There's always going to be some asshole trying to put you down no matter what you do. Best of luck ❤

    Just found this video! I'm 31 (32 later this year) and planning on starting the journey next year (need to wait for a surgery first) and hopefully start trying around my 33rd birthday (bc there's a long wait period in my country). I'm going to be watching through your videos now! I completely agree with not wanting to wait until 40s, my mom had me when she was 40 and she was so much older so much earlier in my life... and I don't want that. All these feelings that you talk about, YES edit: I'm also planning on IUI bc AFAIK I've heard my ovaries etc are in really good health, but that was a while ago... but so scary haha

    SOLO BY CHOICE with a toddler. I love him to bits and I know the SD. However, he literally just asked me if I want to send him pictures of my toddler and honestly, I said no. I wanted to please him or encourage him and thought orginally to agree to meet up and share his photo but now, nah. If he wants to keep up with my toddler, he will accept our request for a photo of him and a phone call to update him on my toddler. I say, my, because he has nothing to do with him.

    Im 27. For over a year now the only thing im thinking is having a baby. Its not something i crave. Im PREPARED for motherhood. I had so many disappointing relationships and the current one is going down the hill(he is incredibly childish and toxic). The only thing literally stopping me from going to a clinic and having a IUI procedure is my parents. HOW DO I TELL MY PARENTS. Im greek and they are the average conservative greek orthodox parents who want their daughter to get married...im emotionally tired of trying to find the right man and then imagining me and him being a family and children and then disappointed. Most of them dont want children they only wish to travel the world and go after money.The clock is ticking within me and every day is even more frustrating. I want children so bad😢

    Hi there, thank you for sharing all of this. You are still so young! I don’t doubt that you want kids and are prepare for motherhood but you do still have time. Maybe start having the conversation with your family now. If they see how bad you want this I am sure they will be supportive in time. It may just take them a little bit of time to warm up to the idea. I think my dad is still warming up to the idea but I know that when I’m pregnant he will be so excited to be a grandfather. The other idea is that you can maybe to look to freeze eggs now to give yourself more options down the road.

    I actually have thought about that and that’s why i bought enough sperm so if i do have multiples they can be full biological siblings. Even if a kid comes from a traditional family, they can still be bullied in school. I was. A traditional family doesn’t make your kid less likely to be bullied or have a better overall life every family is different. The important thing is that the kid knows that they are loved and they have a support system that cares about them.

    Your comment displays a lot of ignorance. As a person working in OBGYN/fertility field, let me share some information. Couples and women usually pay out of pocket for most testing, treatments, medications, and procedures performed. The average total cost is to go through everything once is $5k-$10k. Many people have to go through multiple rounds. The couples/women who go through this process are not likely to need the assistance you speak of. You can disagree with her choice but, at very least, educate yourself before making baseless comments.

    @@KaitlynMarie-ug3pohave you ever considered the possibility that finding a partner to be with as well as be a decent father to provide the necessary psychological needs for children would require a bit of compromise? And perhaps you and many women would have to learn to love a man over time slowly, as well as temper your own expectations? Or do you think you deserve the perfect man? Is your mental process that of “I want the perfect man, 6’3, richer than me, business owner, handsome, and wants to be with me only”
