14+ Pics To Show The Next Person Who Asks You When You’re Having Kids

Having kids is great and it's something that a lot of people want from their life! But it isn't something that everyone wants from their life, and that's equally as OK.

For those of us who don't want to have kids, there are lots of reasons, and most of them are personal. However, there are some things about pregnancy that seem kind of awful and can be used to deter someone from asking you when your time is coming.

It Might Still Be Good

This is what it looks like when your pregnancy brain makes you accidentally put in 12 times the amount of baking soda a recipe called for.

With enough icing, it might still be good.

Any person I know who has had kids has said that being pregnant was great in a lot of ways.

But they also said that it is basically an invitation to tell them their ideas about everything.

She Will Find Them Eventually

When she goes to get the leftover pizza, she will find those keys.

You're pregnant, so no one is going to blame you if things get a little out of control, right?

You've Got To Keep It Covered

There are worse, weirder things to do than to cover up the butter container with a pan lid.

Nothing got broken or anything, so really, it's like it basically never happened.

I Would Try It

Maybe that is an upside to pregnancy: eating whatever you want.

When you have to go pee, you have to go. Apparently, when you're pregnant, that gets 10 times worse, and there is literally no stopping it from happening.

You have to accept it.

The View From The Floor

When you're pregnant, like really pregnant, there is a lot you can't do anymore. Like pick things up off the floor or put your own shoes and socks on.

ADVERTISEMENT

It blows, but there are also so many new things you can do, like get your partner to pick things up off the floor.

Now This Is Genius

This might be a trick I steal just because. She's gone and put her comforter in the freezer because of the hot flashes that come with being pregnant.

I think it's a good idea just in general.

His Priorities Are Clear

Imagine being with this guy who thinks that it's just as important to play his games as it is to be there with his wife who has gone into labor?

Labor can take a while, but seriously, dude, be emotionally present, or at least pretend you're paying attention.

That Looks Painful

You hear pregnant people talk all the time about how awful it is to end up with really swollen feet and ankles, and I never really thought much of it until I saw what that could look like.

I can feel this picture, and it has convinced me that I'm never going to have kids.

These Could Be Anyone's Toes

To be absolutely fair, I know a lot of women who are not pregnant who paint their toes this way.

Just pop some socks on and it's like the whole thing never even happened.

This is one genius way to make sure that the most direct smell in your area is one that isn't going to make you feel like you're going to be sick.

Pregnancy farts are apparently terrible, as if some people's farts weren't bad enough already.

But hey, she's literally making another human life inside of her, so let her fart up a storm.

Telling Them How It Is

This is actually a really nice note considering all the terrible things that could happen if a pregnant woman who is actually able to sleep is woken up by the doorbell.

ADVERTISEMENT

That sign is not for the pregnant woman's comfort—it's for your safety. You wouldn't like her when she just woke up.

He's Literally Being Supportive

It's hard to be comfortable when you're pregnant, especially when you're late in the pregnancy.

This husband is just being a good husband by letting his wife use him as a pillow.

He Didn't Want Her To Feel Left Out

At a certain point during your pregnancy, you just accept that you're not going to do or see some things until after the baby is born.

You don't need socks anyway. Just wear comfy slip-on shoes.

The Morning Sickness Is Too Real

Let's hope that they have a dog who will pick up those tomatoes; otherwise, they are just going to have to wait until Dad gets home or they accidentally get stepped on.

At a certain point in a pregnancy, anything on the floor might as well be in a different country, and you just have to live with it.

We're No Stranger To Boob Sweat

Boob sweat can already be a struggle when you're a woman, but when you're pregnant, your boobs are bigger and you're so much hotter than normal.

Thus, the never-ending boob sweat stains on all of your shirts.

No matter how pregnant you are, there are still going to be people who are oblivious and don't think about doing something helpful like allowing you to sit next to them on the bus.

Why are people like this? It is a mystery science has yet to solve.

At Least She Has Helpers

The Dog Looks Concerned

This is what happens when that nesting instinct kicks in and you want to start practicing how to swaddle everything, even the poor family dog who is a good sport.

The dog will come around and start to get comfortable being swaddled. He might even start to miss it when the baby comes along.

It Doesn't Matter Anymore

Peeing Is A Constant State

When you're pregnant, it is not uncommon for you to have to go pee like three times in 10 minutes.

You have a giant football pressing on your bladder, so it only makes sense.
