[teens stories] THIS MAKES ME HATE BECOMING PREGNANT

Ew, I don't want to ruin my body and I don't want to sacrifice my life for a kid. I don't want to be in pain and I don't want to get married because I don't want to be pregnant

But seriously, why do people keep forcing maternal instinct onto women and treating it as normal that a woman’s body gets damaged and she ends up in pain because of a child…? They’re always like “the birth of life is precious” and all that, but then isn’t the woman who gives birth also someone’s precious daughter? And she’s not only someone’s precious daughter, but also her own most precious self, so why is it always “maternal instinct this,” “sacrifice for the birth of life that” when it comes to women? I really don’t get it. They say, “You’ll think differently when you get older,” but nope, not me. I’ll value myself the most for my entire life. I don’t want to risk my life or tear my body open because of a clump of cells that hasn’t even been born.

A reality that s** education in South Korea never tells you: there are actually quite a lot of cases where women’s lives become seriously endangered during childbirth, sometimes to the point of needing CPR. Before giving birth, cutting the perineum with scissors or a blade is basically standard practice, and labor pain is so intense that even that level of pain barely registers compared to it, it’s said to be strong enough to feel life-threatening. South Korea never tells women these things because they’re trying to get women to have children no matter what.

After giving birth, women age rapidly, the skin on the abdomen sags, stretch marks appear, and during pregnancy hormones can cause areas like the armpits to darken, overall, it’s a path where the body gets worn down in many ways. But none of this is explained at all; instead, they just pressure women to have children no matter what.

The body gets heavily discolored and stretch marks appear, which never go away. The belly ends up looking like a deflated balloon.

In reality, it’s not that noticeable, but when you think there’s a life inside your body, it’s more gross than awe-inspiring.
