Baby Fever Memes That Will Have You “Missing” Birth Control Pills

Do I frequently consider that I am not in any way, shape, or form cut out for motherhood and vehemently insist that I will never have children? Yes. Do I think about poking holes in a condom every time I hold a baby for more than three seconds? Also yes. We exist.

Baby fever is a true illness that can happen in reoccurring and very intense waves. Even those of us who have denounced a future of dirty diapers can sometimes get swept up in it. So if you occasionally catch yourself thinking that you should put a tenant in your uterus for nine months despite your best logic, these memes are for you.

I once read an article that stated that after 18 years of parenting, your child will have cost you more than $100,000. On the other hand, chonky cheeks. There are strong arguments on both sides.
