why I want to do this... — 2 years ago
It’s hard to say why you want to have a baby. I know the feeling has been increasing in me of late – I must be getting to that age (and yet I’m 26 and always thought I’d have kids at about 35). I guess since I have type 1 diabetes and poly-cystic ovary syndrome I know that if I am even fertile, it will be a struggle, so I don’t want to leave it till it’s too late.
I guess it’s about passing on the legacy of all that you have learnt about the world and life, about caring for someone, about doing something meaningful, loving somebody, passing on the DNA and sense of humour.
