I think its hard to tell sometimes but i guess you need to be very careful, i think if you have been symptom free for a long time then that a good sign or you can manage and stay stable on meds for a long time.
I have heard stories of Women having a baby and getting extremely mentally unwell as well, a baby is a huge responsibility, can be very demanding, if you could meet someone to share the your life with first…see where it goes maybe.

Im 26 tbh id like to do it alone because id love to have a cute baby
My nephew is a really great guy, he was with his gf for a few years then they got a flat together, she got pregnant and basically just ditched him after the child was born, he was looking forward to being a Dad as well, makes me really angry tbh, i think if they don’t make up it’ll just be him getting visiting rights, There are charities here such as fathers for justice.

I wanted a baby too, and then realised I didn’t want kids, I just wanted a baby. It’s a lifetime commitment and it’s not for me. If you’re ready for this then no one can stop you,

Definitely don’t do it alone…
You need a good support system for backup in case you go down mentally. And it’s draining even if you don’t have a severe mental illness to begin with.

Doing a kid on your own is tough when you’re healthy and you’re not healthy.
Everyone loves a kitten or a puppy. How about an eight year old screaming at you that they hate your guts? How about being at war with a teen who is testing limits you didn’t know you had until that particular day? You up for that?

I think I read a Poll stating most parents would not have children again if they had a life do-over.
It really is blood, sweat and tears getting a child to adulthood…not for the faint of heart!

I would, but I’d definitely come at it more prepared for the adversity that accompanies raising kids. When you’re not busy keeping your kid from hurting themself you’re busy fighting an educational system that is more about sweeping problems under the rug than addressing them and helping your child learn and grow.

Kids are draining. Mentally and physically. Worth it though.

My parents were happy they had me even though i was ana accident, my Dad was always proud of me even when i messed up, I think if he were alive he would be very proud of everything i have achieved. I wasnt much of a problem child, i had issues later though.

I was an accident too, but my Parents loved and raised me. Probably helped that they came from tough backgrounds, my Dad coming from a war torn country and my Mum growing up in a primitive way on an island.
