I happen to be a woman who does not want to get married or have children (I happen to be asexual), so how I feel toward ladies with no children depends more on what their attitude to that type of lifestyle happens to be. If they do not have children because it just is not the kind of life that they are attracted to or that they would be happy living, then I am happy for them just going down whichever other path in life that they choose. However, if they are a woman who has been seriously trying to have children and for whatever reason can't, then naturally, I pray that one day it will all work out and she will get to live her dream. It's one of those things that is not for everybody, and some women have other things they want to do with their life, therefore, not having children is not necessarily a bad thing. It's a matter of the individual and what they hope to get out of life.

Well being a woman and being one with out children, and I might add I never really wanted any even though I love kids but other peoples kids, I feel pretty good about myself and seeing as there seems to be a lot of woman today opting not to have children, I think it is ok, I feel the world is well and truly over populated anyway and there really is so little resourses maybe it is a good thing...

I feel that women should only have children if they really want them. I think of all the decisions in the world this one should be the one that is entirely up to the woman, since she has to bear the child and is usuallly primary responsible for taking care of it. Children deserve loving, caring, mothers who chose to be moms, and no woman should ever feel pressured to take on that role if she does not want it. So I salute those women who choose not to have children if that is not what they want.
As for those women who want children and can't get pregnant, there are so many children out there needing good homes that that need never stop anyone from being a Mom.

I don't have any children yet but I am still hoping to have one if it is God's will for me to have a "little angel." How do I feel? Right now I am OK if we don't have a child yet but my husband and his parents are giving me lots of pressure and sometimes I don't know what to do... But I believe "prayer works..." :)

hi ramya!
well, i don't have kids yet. i got married last year. it is kind of a pressure from people who keep asking you week after week when you are getting pregnant. it is not like we are intended not to have a baby. it is just that we were not blessed yet.
we cannot force it from happening. anyway, to answer your question, at first i was pretty anxious. and i felt jealous of women who are carrying around babies. sometimes i would find tears welling around me eyes.
then i realized that it is better to change perspective. rather than wallow on self pity, i am enjoying the love that abounds in our empty nest. we are using this time to bond together--my husband and i. we go places, we eat out, we just simple enjoy each other's company.
i know that when we have our own kids, we will be the happiest parents! :)
good day and God bless you!

well i'm a woman and i don't have children. i don't particularly feel lost or sad about this. it's more of a personal choice to not have any. i don't like children and i find that it's not something i want. having children is not just a matter of becoming pregnant and giving birth. it comes with great responsibilities that i am sure i'm not ready for. it's an informed decision and i am happy that i've made this choice. i know people are bound to say that having children brings immense happiness. i can't disagree with that but i also do a lot of things that brings me immense happiness. doing things with my parents is one of them. cheers.

i feel sorry for them coz when they grow old, no one's gonna take care of them... its frustating when your friends or family have children... if there's no chance for them to give birth, its better if they just adopt children... and treat them as if they were their own child! that's all for me...

I have always felt very bad for all those woman who dont have children. We have a relative who dont have kids, and my kids are so close to her. I have never felt the feeling of enviness when they just go to her for everything when she is around.
I used to tell her, I have two kids, but you are lucky as all the kids (whose ever it be are your kids).
I feel highly irritated when people just tell all bad words against those woman.

as a wife to have a child is the greatest accomplishment,most of woman says that they dont care if they dont have husband but the most important is they have a child. I dont mean that if you dont have one your not complete but with the technologies we have now its really easy to have a child.And being love by everybody and with your partner you will always feel blessed and complete.God speed...
