this is so real and brave of her to talk about because I'm so sure she'll get tons of flack for it

as women we're vilified no matter what decisions we make when it comes to children and our own fertility. it's so exhausting and depressing.

I agree. I really appreciate her honesty with this. And I think (reasonable) people will understand where she's coming from. 24 is pretty young. But I'm glad she made the decision that was right for her.

Yeah, 24 is pretty young. I also probably would have chosen to continue a healthy pregnancy at 24 (given that i was in a stable relationship), but not at 19-20. Basically, not while i was still in college.

A friend had a child in her early 20s while she was in medical school. More power to her, but knowing what I know now about parenting - i would not have gotten my humble B.s. had I become a mother while in college.

Nothing wrong with that.

My sister in law had incredibly difficult pregnancies and she and their first child nearly died in birth so when they accidentally got pregnant with a third they seriously considered terminating.

I feel like people think because you’re married you have to have the child if you get pregnant which is ridiculous. You should only ever have a child if you want one.

I think it's very brave of her to talk about something like this. She was so young when she got married, and while marriage is a big step, having a child is life changing in an entirely different way. People are going to be shitty about this, but I hope more people are understanding. Twenty-four is young, and all of her teens were spent on a television set.

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

[delfintaka]

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.
