Jon and Kate and Their Eight
While watching recorded episodes of Jon and Kate on my DVR the other night, I began to become a bit overwhelmed watching as Kate juggled four children on her lap while interviewing a would-be housekeeper. I wondered how I would manage given the same situation. Then it hit me I had no idea. Other than keeping the nursery at church a few times and baby sitting my nieces, I had no concept of how to take care of a baby.

Welcome to Women Without Kids
I hope this new networking site will be a place for women who, either by choice or secondary to infertility, do not have children. I look forward to meeting everyone and sharing with you.

Thank you for responding - it's just nice to know someone understands my feelings! Thank you for making this page available. I'll definitely participate and offer what I can. And I loved your suggestion of going to the store and watching moms with t…

Thank you so much for your honesty and for putting your feelings out like that. I completely understand where you are coming from. I am absolutely fine most of the time without children but every once in a while that female need rises up. I t…
I see this discussion has been going on for some time so I have no idea if anyone will read it. My husband and I have been through 2 miscarriages several years ago and decided to not pursue biological children earlier this year. I've tried leading a…

One time, we had a young girl working at the firm I was at, and she said I "the bomb." I smiled, walked away, and quickly went and asked others if that was a good thing. Everybody had such fun laughing at me....

I am glad that He gives us the opportunity to use those natural skills. I know that I probably seemed like I had a lot of hangups when we were growing up. I did. By the time I was in the 4th grade I had a peptic stomach ulcer. There was a lot of stuff that was going on that no one knew about. My dad never found out and my mom was livid when I finally told her about 10 years ago. Then when I turned 16 I was having a lot of problems and a "doctor" in town told me that I would never be able to have children. Not necessarily a true story for someone with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. He put me on hormones and then changed me to Birth Control the minute he found out I was to be married. I do know that God is in control but I do wish that I had had a more compassionate doctor back then, some things may have been different. I said all that just so you would have some background and maybe understand who I was back then. All of that was a little too much to handle at that age so I just compensated anyway I could. God is awesome! He does know the plans He has for each of us! He WILL fill the holes!

- Jeannie, I often wonder if you know just how much you mean to me! Growing up with you was such a blast. I am so thankful that God allowed that. I too wonder about our babies that never came to earth. I will admit to you that the last 2 weeks, since my hysterectomy, those thoughts have been especially close. I guess somewhere in the back of my mind there was also a chance until now. I do trust that God is in control and that He knows best but it still hurts. I guess I will just go on spoiling everyone else's babies! Don't you ever forget how much I love you. You are like a sister to me, I only wish we could get together sometime. I think a youth group reunion would be great! We have all changed so much, it would be great to catch up!
