OP - I acknowledged right in the secret that it has a strong basis in reality. I am aware. We're all aware. That doesn't mean it's universal, nor should it be the only version of childbirth/new parenthood that's ever told.

I'd really like some stories that depicted a new parent feeling blank and/or struggling with the enormity of what they've taken on, and showing how they endure that and still end up being a good and loving parent.

I'd also like some stories where a person gets knocked up and doesn't suddenly feel grateful it happened once their child is born.

And when it comes specifically to fanfic, I'd really, really like some fics where a character feels trapped by their situation and ends up allowing someone they trust, who actually wants kids, to adopt their baby.

Plus a bunch of other diverse and rarely-seen scenarios I haven't listed.

+1 to this. I'd love to see more variety of experiences being shown.

I applaud your desire for more variety in the childbirth/child rearing experience, OP! These ideas sound great!

ALL of this. I do so despise the 'omg, i'm pregnant......baybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!' stuff.

Or any baby/children stuff when it's treated like some kind of holy, sacred 'thing' that, if you don't like, love, want, need, whatever, you're somehow wrong or fucked up or selfish or *bad*. Fuck that noise.
