What if you found out that you cannot bear a child. And your husband wants to have children. Will it affect your relationship and your role..as a wife and mother in the family??

of course..It will be very sad on my part. because,as they say, the essence of being a woman is to become a mother.of course,who doesnt want a child?every woman dreamed of becoming a mother. I believe that my future husband will understand my situation,since we both dont have that..and if ever i cant bear a child,I'll just adopt one..

yes, its really sad considering childbirth is one of lifejoys. I do have one daughter now, and its been 4 years since we've been trying for the second one. And its getting harder since I'm also getting older, sometimes its really depressing, frustrating and stressful everytime your monthly visitor arrives. A little few days late will get you excited and then the red thing will appear and sends you into depression. gladly, my husband is not forcing the issue to have another child. we did some testing and also tried artificial insimenation and have accepted the one child gift of our life. sometimes people can be very insentisitive with the issues. Some questions are best to be avoided like "how come you still dont want another child" questions. IT's not we dont like another child, we are not blessed with another child. And bothering questions that somehow makes you less of a mother and wife.

of course, i will be sad because i cannot bear a child..for me, bearing a child makes a woman perfect..with some other relationships, it will give a very big affect between you and your husband..but nowadays, there are ways on how to have a child, but it's different when youre the one who bears the child..

Mother and Child - Mom and child's love...
Oh I would just die inside if I wasn't able to bear a child...I am lucky that I was able to have children...But if I couldn't and my hubby wanted his own so bad I was see about having a someone else carry his child and we raise it together as afamily...But if thats not a good choise for us then I would suggest adoption...I would pray that this set back in lfe wouldn't ruin our relationship as husband and wife....I would do all that I could to give us a baby...

Hi emetha, Yes, it is a very sad situation when you find out that you can't have children but I'm sure if your husband really loves you it won't end your marriage. Also their are other ways to have children. I was told for 10 years that I couldn't have kids, then I had missed 2 periods and felt something weird in my tummy, I went to Walmart, got a test, and it turned positive right away. I went to the Doctor the next day, got my pregnancy confirmed, and 9 months later I had a beautiful baby girl. Don't always believe what you hear. Make sure that your Doctor sends you to someone who can help find out why the other Doctor has said you can't have kids, and see if their is a way to possibly fix it. I did, and now I have a child, she means the world to me, and I couldn't imagine my life without her!
