Enchantress, I would not for a moment imply that you have any sort of obligation to become a mother, or that you have no other worth if you choose not to. I mean, the male half of humanity have never once given birth, but we don't hold it against them (much). I only intended to share my experience, not to influence you in any way.
In fact, I can relate only too well. I really didn't look forward to motherhood and that's the truth. Everybody was telling me how my maternal instinct would awaken once I am pregnant. "But what if it doesn't, huh? What will I do with the baby?" I shot back. Ah, but it did awaken. Boy, did it ever.
