I can totally understand not being into pregnancy fic, but it really squicks you that bad? Like, it hits your gag reflex? I'm surprised because I never thought of it inspiring such a strong reaction.

Can I ask what it is about it that makes it so uncomfortable for you? Honestly curious.

And it sucks that you're now having to write it. It's really awesome of you to push yourself to do it to make somebody else happy. And, if nothing else, now you've learnt that you need to put it in your Will Not Write notes.

Cannot speak for OP, but personally thinking about being pregnant makes me want to vomit. I'm not a squeamish person or a prude by any means and I don't think there's anything wrong with being pregnant/wanting to get pregnant (I even want kids one day, I just don't want to have them), but if I think about pregnancy too much it makes me sick.

Idk, maybe their squick is like that. It's weird. I dunno.

i hope i'm not giving too much of myself away, but i'm actually just making icons. i like the icons i'm making so far, but i spent a few hours looking at thousands of stock pregnancy photos and some of them are really just gross to me. don't get me wrong, i have nothing against pregnancy itself, i just didn't ever expect to be sifting through naked photos of pregnant women ever in my life.

[amethyst-rei.livejournal.com]

Not the OP, but pregnancy in general makes me uncomfortable. I don't even know why. Pregnant women make me feel awkward, and I personally can't even imagine being pregnant myself.

As for images of pregnant women? I'm always torn between thinking they're beautiful and being squicked. Yeah. I don't get it myself.

[broadwaybabe11.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way as you. Uncomfortable is the perfect word. I hate myself for how awkward I feel around pregnant women, I mean, it's just a natural part of life. /:

[(Anonymous)]

as someone who has a pregnancy squick, it grosses me out for multiple reasons.

1. as someone who's had a few traumatic experiences with really bad menstruation and sexual abuse, it makes me uncomfortable. i don't like to think about the possibility of it. if i can be bedridden and feel suicidal during my period sometimes, who knows how bad it would be if i were actually pregnant?! i just can't see pregnancy (or menstruation) as anything but unbearable.
2. honestly, babies = parasites to me, and the thought of something feeding off of me makes me sick. then again, i don't like any kind of foreign object inside of me.
3. the fact that pregnancy can kill someone is pretty frightening. this makes reason #1 even worse. even when it isn't fatal, it's unsanitary (you can shit yourself while giving birth from all the pushing), it sounds painful, some people need drugs to get through it, it's just scary as fuck.
4. as an ftm, i'm used to being badgered about having babies and why i'm a freak for not wanting to be a mother. i don't like to hear about it, period.

obviously, #4 most likely doesn't apply to op and #1 might not apply either, but the other two might.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

aww, i'm sorry to hear that, anon :( i'm not squicked because of any of the reasons you've listed, mostly i just hate the aesthetics of it all. i can't even imagine being squicked by babies and i'm sorry that you are. hopefully it doesn't impact your life too much :(

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

no need to apologize, op.

it usually doesn't, unless my family bugs me about finally getting married and shitting out fifty kids and all that.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

If your family keeps nagging, tell them you're infertile, you've had a lot of tests etc and there's nothing you can do, and you don't wanna talk about it. Worked for me. Shuts them up quick smart.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

that seems like a lie that can be potentially found out pretty easily if someone happens to ask you specific questions about said fertility tests or something though and you end up not knowing what the hell they're talking about. I'm glad it worked out for you and got your family off your back though.

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

anon the other anon replied to

yeah, even if i was infertile and had proof, my family would just pester me about how sad my life is and how much they feel bad and how they'll do whatever they can to get my fertility levels up so i can have dem babies.

because, of course, my life will be forever meaningless without children. even thought i spent my childhood taking care of my siblings because my parents are deadbeats and my relatives agree that it was wrong for me to have to "grow up so fast", it doesn't make sense for me to never want to deal with kids of my own. i'll grow out of it, tee hee!

but i digress... didn't mean to steal the spotlight away from you, op, sorry about that.

[nomorefrostbite.livejournal.com]

Anon... MTE. MTE!!!

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks babies are parasitical organisms feeding off the nutrients in my body and my life force.

All of the above four points are so so true to me as well, in every way :(((
My periods have gotten a lot better than they used to be - i'm no longer crippled for 10 days at a time by them - but apart from that, every word of your comment could have been written by myself.

I just can't stand how the vast majority of the world labels us as freaks and 'unnatural pseudo-women' because of it.

[zombieroadtrip.livejournal.com]

This, the idea of something living inside another person scares the shit out of me. Those videos pregnant people take where the baby is kicking and you can make out the foot shape through the skin? NIGHTMARES.

[(Anonymous)]

Me, too. Oh god, my stomach dropped just reading your comment. D:

[(Anonymous)]

My stomach is getting phantom-cramps from this comment.

I'm so glad I'm not pregnant. *shiver*

[nomorefrostbite.livejournal.com]

Nests of spiders inside us would be better, ngl. Because at least then the WORLD isn't continuously looking down on us for not having nests of spiders inside us, and we can easily avoid the mention of nests of spiders.

Oh god. Just saying 'nests of spiders' is making me think of unborn foetuses feeding off my life force. DNW. :((((((

[loracarol.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU.

You have just managed to say everything about why I'm terrified of pregnancy.

(Of course, I'm "too young" to know, and I'll "change my mind later" but...)

This x100.

One day I would love to have kids. But preferably via surrogacy or adoption, because the idea of a baby growing inside of me squicks me out so much. It's not so much the idea of it feeding off me that creeps me out. But the idea of there being something inside me that is growing and growing and growing and stretching my stomach in a way that I don't want it to be stretched.

The fact that the women in my family have a history of having their stomachs permanently stretched or changed after giving birth. Even despite her years of exercise and healthy eating, my mom still has this gigantic bulge of skin just hanging from her stomach area like a big empty sock. The only way she could ever get it to look "normal" again is to have it surgically fixed. I don't want that to ever happen to me. :(
