Baby Pains

My cousin's wife is at my parents' place, undergoing IVF treatment nearby. It's her second attempt and my mother has been accompanying her to the hospital. From what I hear, it's a really painful process in every possible way. She sometimes falls sick just by the fatigue and pain of it. I wonder if she really wants it so badly even now or it's her family. I don't think I would've gone through it. I would've remained childless. No, I wouldn't have adopted either.

There was a time in my teenage years, when I thought I wouldn't be able to bear a child. I didn't know anyone who didn't want a child, so I thought I would refuse marriage.
