Decent Essays

Once I became a mother my own free will has been compromised. I no longer get to do whatever I want to do. Before I had my daughter I was able to do whatever I wanted without having to worry about anything or anyone but myself. I got eat whatever I wanted, drink whatever I wanted, and hang out with whoever I wanted. That all changed once I found out I was pregnant.

Many of my friends did not have children and wanted to continue to party and do as they pleased. I had to stop for the well-being of my unborn baby. I ended up losing some friends over that.

I know that some woman that are pregnant do not understand the consequences of their actions when it comes to their unborn baby. I feel people should do research on the conflict. They should also ask themselves if what they are doing is right or wrong.
