Ok , I am one of those people that whose life revolves around their kids. Sorry- that's just me.
I don't think that there was ever a time that I didn't want kids. I've had emet since I was about 10, but never felt that I didn't want to be a mom.
I actually worked in DAY CARE right before I got pregnant in 2002, and I babysat kids all the time. I like kids, but I'll avoid them like the plague when they're p*.
Of course till I had my own. Then it's unavoidable.
I was scared to get pregnant and have kids cause of my emet. But then I got pregnant "accidently" when I was 21. I was soooo scared of morning sickness. But I got through it fine, a lot of panicky moments but I found ways to control the nausea. My husband was a big help too in keeping me grounded when I thought I was gonna lose it.
Then I had my baby boy, and my emet just got pushed to the side. That was not who I was anymore. But then, when my son was about 15 months he got sick. I had dreaded that moment. But the Mommy in me kicked in and I helped him through it. It was the first time he was really sick and I felt so bad for him .
I prepared to be sick as well and nothing happened. I thought that maybe this was not going to be bad after all.
Then I had another baby and things in my emet world started to get worse. I had 2 babies and they were only 20 months apart, and since I had my daughter I have had to deal with sv lots of times. I flip out everytime, get the panic attacks, everything. I still have my emet, but I don't let it ruin everyday with my kids. I love being a mom, and I just cannot imagine letting my emet getting in the way of having a family. I think I even want one more!
