It's because not everyone has as bad an experience.
Plus women are 'ingrained to forget' the bad parts of pregnancy so they will breed more.

Yeah, it's the bad part of labor that is making me not want to have another child even though she does.
She doesn't remember the bad parts?
She felt sick for the better part of it, but never threw up. That was it. (First two trimesters)
Yes she doesShe doesn't remember the bad parts?
Yes she does
I was very ill feeling for like 6.5 months. I puked a couple of times after I ate Pizza Hut one night and the morning I was induced but that was due to the liver failure... otherwise I never got sick, but I dry heaved which is almost worse IMO as you get zero relief. I felt fine physically the last 2.5 months or so. In fact it felt great. I had other emotional issues I dealt with though. I never got over the fear that I would lose another baby which really got to me.
The delivery sucked big big time. To the point where Luis says no more kids.
That said I would do it again. About a year after our son was born I wouldn't have said it, but if I could, I would risk it all for the lousy first two trimesters and the emotional worry. My child is the best thing in the world and THAT is why I would do it again if I could.
For the record I never had the stomach pain like it was ripping honestly. I did only gain 18 pounds total and I don't have stretch marks either so I was just lucky. My ab muscles didn't hurt there at all throughout the whole time. My back did decent too which is shocking. No vericose veins, no swelling of the ankles or anything like that.
My belly button also did not pop out, but mine is *really* deep.
I had horrible ligament pain the first few months both pregnancies though. That went away somewhere around 15 weeks on the second. It was really low by the bikini line and like a pulled muscle and only when pressure was put on it. Made finding the heart beat a real bitch since that was where they needed to put the doppler to find it. No other pain otherwise except in the boobs.
that might have helped when she was pregnant. not so much now.
just wait til you're so full of babby it feels like you could barf it out!
