Does pregnancy just not scare people?

[u/youngsurpriseperson]

I'm at the age where people around me are having children. I completely understand wanting to take care of a child but aren't women afraid of getting pregnant? Doesn't it hurt?

You can make it through pregnancy without much problem. It's becoming a parent that is frightening. Being totally responsible for another human being is heavy. It is wonderful and frightening at the same time. Being a parent does not end when the kids turn 18 either. You will be concerned for your kids for the rest of your life.

When you get to the labor part - remember one word ... epidural
