Question for everyone here, but especially mothers who are also on here

Hello everyone. I am the mother of a teenage daughter. My pregnancy was a miscarriage waiting to happen. I had to go to the emergency room multiple times for excessive bleeding. I was put on bedrest for the last three months of my pregnancy. I was induced at 37 weeks because my blood pressure was so high. My daughter grew up to be a beautiful and bright, happy adult. I am so proud of her. I would not trade being her mother for anything. With that being said, I would not do it again. It was such a hard time. I remember when my daughter was 3 yrs old and I was the primary source of care and comfort for her. She would reach out and pat me on the face and say "momma, you look tired". I feel that way about a lot of mothers I see. I wonder why women would choose to have children, to go through all the pain and the hard work, to have someone rely on you exclusively for all their needs, and to be responsible for another person for the rest of your life. We as humans do not even have a full life expectancy anymore. <br>I am genuinely curious. Why would you choose to become a mother?
