I ' d of voted for Sanders but instead voted for Trump . Not having a political track record is a fuck ton better than having one full of lies , corruption and collusion with foreign governments . <| sep |> I can tell you from my point of view why I ' ve gone from definitely not wanting kids to wanting kids in the near future . 45 months ago , I would have had tubal ligation without any question if I had the choice . I have never been someone to want to have children especially my own , oh the horror of pregnancy . I have also never really been around kids as an adult . I ' ve never held a baby , changed a diaper , bottle fed , etc . Well , that changed since I am now working in pediatrics . After getting over the initial insecurities , I realized that 1 babies and children are absolutely adorable little gremlins 2 they love me 3 I ' d make a great mom and 4 inevitably there will be at least one kid who I ' ll fall in love with and have to adopt . I have had clinical depression since I was at least 10 yearsold and felt like because of this , I could not have a child without severely exacerbating the symptoms . This really scared me . Once I became more educated on mental illness and pregnancy and parenthood , I was no longer thinking , I can ' t do this but now , it ' s absolutely possible . I am more confident in my ability to someday be a mother and feel like I have a sufficient support network . There could be many reasons for your wife changing her mind . It may seem like such a drastically quick change in mindset but a lot can happen within almost a year . I don ' t think it ' s sudden . A lot of it may do with how much exposure your wife has had to children in her 20 s and 30 s and how much she is exposed now . Has she voiced any fears about being a parent in the past such as not knowing what to do , possibly being a bad parent , having a child with a deformitydisorder . ?
