Would you like to give birth to a child?

[childofwinter]

Now that's just being greedy surely?

No, I'm kidding.

Seriously, though, I wouldn't mind either.

[Alexie]

Absolutely, unequivocally and definitely yes.

I am under no delusion about all the pain and suffering that child bearing would bring as well as the trauma involved in raising them, but I could think of no greater joy than bringing a child into the world. Even in my male body, I get very cluckey when around babies. That would definitely make the complete package.

Alexie.

[AmySmiles]

If it were possible, I think I would.  It's hard to say though.  I love kids, but I know raising your own is very different than playing with them.

[Agent_J]

I love kids, but I know raising your own is very different than playing with them.

That's effectively the point I always made when people told me I'd be a good parent because I did well with kids and many liked me.  I quite enjoy my niece and nephew, but, sometimes, what I most enjoy is when they go back to their parents.

My senior scientist and my PhD student are both 4 months pregnant with their first. I am so jealous.

I could never father one 'cos the thing doesn't work. Totally useless lump of tissue. Anyone want it?

No way
Money that I don't have aside, my genetics aren't worth saving

[disdwarf]

Of course I'd want to have a uterus and give birth.

Only thing is I'm a lesbian, but even though I haven't started transition yet I wondered how could I give birth if I was a cisgender-born lesbian? So I got a book on lesbian pregnancies and found out... it's really not that hard. The problem is I don't enjoy the cisgender privilege in this regard as I don't have a uterus:(

I would love to have children and nurture them within me. The only painful experiences would be gaining a lot of weight, feeling some insecurity about my looks when pregnant, going into labor, and feeling the more painful baby movements in my body, morning sickness and having to do a regimen of exercise following the birth. I would love being a mother and holding my little miracle in my arms for the first time. I would want my beloved by my side supporting and empowering me, and telling me I'm beautiful even when I feel fat or hideous. Parenting would be rewarding.

[spx_1112]

100% Yes

[Laura Emily]

If I could - absolutely. 100% no doubt!

[Catherine Sarah]

In less than a heartbeat

[Madisyn]

Given the option I'd be willing to have a child if I found the right partner to have one with.

[Sara Thomas]

I voted no.

I love my kids very much, but I'm glad that they are grown and out of the house.

I think I was always a bit too self-absorbed to be a very good parent.

They turned out well enough though.

Well; if it's up for grabs, can I have it? I'm off to the butcher, he's making sausages soon.        

[Laura91]

Hell no.

Kids are annoying.

[lizagirl]

I definitely would like to, and have dreamed of it since I was little.

[anya921]

In a heartbeat. I would give up anything for that

[chocoicecream]

i voted yes!

[Sarah84]

Yes, I have no doubts. It would be so nice.

[Corwynn Jade]

Goodness yes. A few years ago I heard that they had found a way to fertilize an egg with another egg. I kind of got my hopes up that they would figure out how to do something the other way around too. Then i could at least call myself a child's biological mother even if i had to use a surrogate. Somehow that would mean more to me than being the "father". Silly, I know.
