the ultimate female challenge

[Joni Marie Cruz]

Interesting post. If I don't remember to hold my tummy in I look like I'm about 5 months along anyway. Hmm, maybe I could just do away with the foundation garments and tell everyone I'm expecting.

As far actually having a baby I would be a willing and enthusiastic participant at conception and would love to have a baby if I could demand a C-section and lots of good drugs. I have no desire to pull my lips over my head as I have heard birth described.

All facetiousness aside for a moment, since I'm not TS and am happy being a tgirl I would not really want to bear a child. But I do respect every woman who has ever brought a child into the world and I understand why someone who is TS might long to do so.

Hugs...Joni Mari

Pardon my French but "No Way in H#@L" would I want to give birth. I couldn't handle the pain of a kindey stone, let alone give birth to a child.

[julie0110]

Giving birth, definately not, but making babies, definately yes

[Lorileah]

Nope, no way, hu uh , wouldn't be prudent, never. Didn't want children in male mode no way would in female. Selfish, yes. Practicing making them is fun. Having them is a whole new watermelon.

[Carole Cross]

If it was possible then yes I would. My sister has two wonderful children and had nature given me the right body then I would have had children of my own.

Tee hee, at least your all being honest. Your right I guess it is the ultimate female experience and I wouldn't change a thing about giving birth to my 4 lovely kids. However, me thinks that most trannys would be too vain to cope with the bulge, the varicose veins, the stretch marks and um the pain is incredible. Contrary to popular belief it isn't something you forget either, cause you feel like your having your insides ripped out of you. that said I'd go through it all again if I had to, but it doesn't feel very feminine to me. I looked like a beached whale for 6 months and nothing looked particularly flattering on me either so my feminine feelings kind of got a bit lost in there somewhere.

Thanks for your post Bev. Of all of my life's CD dreams having a baby is right there on top. I believe I can completely understand how, after having 4 children, you can still say "that said I'd go through it all again if I had to."

[Marisa_M]

My answer is absolutely yes!

I'd love to get pregnant, give birth, breast feed and care of my child.

I'm aware that's impossible for me but I have always feel the need to be a woman and motherhood is one of the most important aspects of any woman's life.

[Kimberly9310]

NOPE not me girl.

[Ms Mira]

Eek.

[Mistybtm]

No thank you But i would have fun practicing

[charlie]

Ouch! Sounds like pushing an orange through a garden hose! No thanks! Don't need periods and cramps either.

[Shauna marie]

Not on the top of my to do list.

[victoriamwilliams1]

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. So I guess I am in a quandary.

[Persephone]

Ouch! Sounds like pushing an orange through a garden hose! No thanks! Don't need periods and cramps either.

You have a cute way of saying things, Charlie! I've never had a real period, so I don't know what mine would be like if I had them, but I've always felt that if I really want to "walk the walk and talk the talk," then I should be ready to do it with periods and cramps, just like GG's do.

Otherwise, to me, I'm just playing with being a woman and "cream skimming." I don't feel that there is anything wrong with anyone who feels differently, just that it doesn't fit me.

So yes, if my Fairy Godmother came along and said "I can make you into a real girl, but you'll have to have periods and cramps," I'd say "wave your magic wand, Granny!"

Now, if she said, "But you're going to have 12 children and an alcoholic, abusive husband," then I'd definitely prefer to send her back home.

honestly, it is one of the things i've dreamt about but is clearly not doable by any reasonable means ; /

[SIZE=4]At a Christmas party at my girlfriends daughter's house in 2006, I spent most of the time playing with her 3 yr old grandson.

As I left that night, I had a yearning to have a baby to hold and love.
I have had that same yearning many times when I see one, I just want to hold it so badly.

This occurred before my transition, and seems to be even stronger now.
I have even thought of having induced lactation in my breasts. (It would make them bigger for sure!)

I remember when I was from about 19 to 22, I had a woman I was close to and frequently carried her son on my hip. Today I still remember how much I liked doing it, of course I don't have as much hip today as I did then.

I admit it, I would like to be the wife in a family with a baby, but it is very unlikely to happen. And at 74, I would have SRS tomorrow if it were possible.[/SIZE]

Okay girls, let's see how much you really want to be a woman.
Assuming all the right parts, how many of you would want to give birth?

Yes, yes and uh yes.

However, me thinks that most trannys would be too vain to cope with the bulge, the varicose veins, the stretch marks and um the pain is incredible.
Bev

OUCH!!!!

[kellycan27]

In a heartbeat,fat, ugly,painful,stretch marks.. you name it..I am down for it.

[Miranda09]

Hmmmm..that is a really tough proposition. Yes, I think I would like to experience just once the whole pregnancy and birth process to see what GG's go thru....and ONLY once!!!!!!

[Aubrey Green]

At 52, no, at 22 or 32, probably!

[bumblebee]

YES! YES! YES!

I am bitter I can't give birth. I'd even be a pregnant with my boy parts. It's one of the experiences of life that makes me want to have a female body. THAT is such a unique experience and I am bitter I can't experience it.

[Fab Karen]

Lots of women have no interest in giving birth.

[erickka]

20 or so years ago, certainly. At this time and at my present age, not really feasable either physically or emotionally.

[ReineD]

Another good question to ask IMO is one that would measure how many of you feel maternal. Being pregnant and giving birth is only just the beginning. How many of you feel as if your heart is melting when you are holding your baby? How many of you hold your baby and never tire of watching his tiny face?

[Sandra]

Hmm Bev GG forgot the morning sickness which buy the way isn't just in the mornings and not once a day, wanting to pee all the time, not being able to sleep properly because your uncomfortable, then if you're lucky and do drop off you're woken up cause you need the loo, or because the baby is playing football in your tummy, and belive me that hurts.

Yes being pregnant and giving birth is a wonderful thing to experience, it's just the all the bits that go with it, that a lot of people don't think or know about.

I don't want to upset anyone here,or start a war, but I can understand why a transexuall would want to experience this as they are IMO female, but why a cder who is a male, would want to experience this confuses me.
