I am probably going to offend and make someone mad......
I don't think its a great idea having a man give birth. I feel, personally, that is a special part of being a woman. That we have the whole Motherly instinct thing.
In vitro is a touchy topic for me. I was told I should not have children. We were all set to adopt and were 100% happy with the ability to grow our family in this way. When we started in the process we found out I was preggo. It is an amazing experience. As someone who didn't think she was ever going to experience carrying a child...I didn't feel like a failure or less of a human being, but I really did want to know what it was like to have a child grow inside of me. AMAZING and I don't know how one couldn't believe in a higher being after experiencing it. Part of me wants to say in vitro isn't natural, but neither is the insulin pump I am wearing that keeps me alive. In my opinion, whatever is in God's plan is going to happen no matter what you try. I have a healthy beautiful daughter and I never ever dreamed I would get to. As a Christian this goes way back in the Bible...Hannah's prayer. Women have been experiencing this forever. Adoption is a beauitful option and we hope to grow our family more this way, but it isn't right for everyone. REALLY tough question!

I think most women think most men are wimps when it comes to physical discomfort. However.....shhh!..... I shouldn't be telling you this, but I think I actually read somewhere recently that some study somewhere had shown that men exhibit a higher pain tolerance than women! So...maybe men should be having all the babies! LOL!!

J/K (about men having all the babies, not about the study, that is!) ....regarding that picture, whoa....something about that is just wrong!! !!! Ya know what I mean????
