Re: (Untitled)
Lurker here.
I was in the same position. I wanted to be a mom very badly but I had ZERO desire to be pregnant or give birth. I said I just wanted to go to the kid store and pick one out and take it home and I was dead serious. I would have been happy adopting but it was very important to my husband to have biological children. After a lot of thought, I decided that I was willing to give it a try if it was that important to him.
I actually ended up loving being pregnant. I expected to hate every single minute with a fiery passion but in my case it did end up being a beautiful bonding experience. The idea of a little creature growing inside of you like an alien is freaky as all hell but there's nothing quite like feeling your child respond to your voice before it's even born.
I'm very pro-adoption and think it's a wonderful option. You should talk to your husband. You could adopt, get pregnant, use a gestational carrier. There are a million options and they all deserve to be looked at. I just wanted to let you know that assuming it will be a horrible experience doesn't dictate that it WILL be.
