Earlier this year, I wrote a post about all the reasons I’m terrified to have a child. At the time, the idea of motherhood flooded me with anxiety and a list of (irrational to rational) fears. Now, as more of my friends have delivered their babies and gotten pregnant, I find myself flip flopping to another common refrain when it comes to parenthood: maybe a baby will fix me!
