I go back and forth between commending her for being transparent about fertility and a woman’s choice but also that her daughter will have to know that the world now knows that her mom wasnt 100% sure she wanted to keep her ya know?

yyeaahhh

Yeah I flux between speak your truth and also hopefully your kids will understand in the future cause not every celeb kid responds well to what their parents said publicly relating to them when they get older. Some are understanding and others depending on the relations are at that point might strain things a bit.

It's def a tricky path to thread in the spotlight. :S

Hmm...it really doesn't seem like a big deal to me. She chose to continue the pregnancy, and had only nice things to say about her kids in this article.

It's not like she said she considered not keeping her baby AFTER she met her (which i can see how would be insensitive info to share.) And It's also not like she said she regretted her decision.

Yeah honestly I don't think it is/will be a big deal. Considering terminating pregnancies is a very common part of life and in the "modern times" it needs to be normalized and talked about.

Like, I know for a fact I was a planned baby, as was my sibling, but I wouldn't have been sad or mad if I'd discovered the situation applied to myself. Life isn't easy.

As long as she takes care, loves and doesn't blame her daughter, it will be ok.
I was a surprise pregnancy to my mom. She was breastfeeding my brother and she didn't think she could get pregnant so soon. So I know I didn't came at the best moment for them. But they've been great parents and I've never felt like they resent or blame me for anything. So I've never felt bad about it.

Maybe if abortion was a legal option back, I wouldn't even be here. And that's ok.

as someone who's mom contemplated abortion and adoption... personally, and especially as a woman, i don't find it psychologically damaging in any way to know my mom thought through her options. my mom was 23 too, and she did the same when she had my brother at 30 (and frankly has been more honest about how much closer she was to having an abortion that time for a number of reasons.) it's not hard to hear that your mother is a person who also had herself to think about.

I honestly feel kinda opposite in a way. My mom was older when she had me and the chance of something causing an issue during the pregnancy because of age was much higher. I actually really appreciate that she put a lot of thought into her decision to have me, which includes both of our health and also how emotionally/mentally prepared she was. I wouldn’t have wanted her to have me because she felt pressured and ended up negatively affecting both of us in the long run, if that makes sense.

Hopefully she'll have that conversation with her daughter, all children should learn at some point that their parents are also complex humans

[richyrich909]

I was thinking the same but hold back on speaking on women’s issues since I’m not one. But I agree.

[potter_lover456]

I had this conversation with my mom and it was fine. What would not go over well is her daughter finding out from a magazine/tabloid before her mother gets to talk to her.

In that way, opening up about it while Willa is still young might be an issue. I could absolutely see a rabid Jonas fan shouting something awful at a 9 year old down the road and forcing that conversation earlier than need be.

[feelingcold]

I was definitely an accident my mother had to give some thought to and I've never felt bad about it. As a woman I really appreciate that my mom was open about her experience with pregnancy. It helped me feel like I can be a woman and a mother and still be a person whose emotions and experiences matter.

[elevatorshaker]

I can see keeping the world out of it, but otherwise I don't see what the big deal is.

[yankeesarelove]

yeah Im totally on board with Sophie telling her daughter herself! its the public part of it that's tricky.

[odetothefool]

as someone whose mom probably should have gotten an abortion - i dont get why it would bother people so much to know their mom considered it tbh. my mom was dying while pregnant with me and even my catholic grandfather was hinting at her consider an abortion and she refused. i would completely have understood her getting an abortion and idk it is not upsetting for me to think about it. my mom's also always been open with this and it never really bothered me even as a kid cause it was pretty clear it was medically traumatic period of time for her

[automaticpeople]

Come on.

That’s how pregnancy often works. How many pregnancies are 100% planned and wanted?
