This morning I received a text message from a dear friend of mine who had just become an Aunt for the very first time. As she felt it wasn’t her place to share the photos she took of her beautiful brand new baby niece on social media, she sent them to me to fawn over. She further wrote that she may have to get her husband to sleep in the other room tonight. Was it because they were arguing? No. It was simply because the intoxication of this magnificent new life, had made her cluck cluck all the way home. Even though she had three beautiful children of her own and absolutely no intention to reproduce again or add to her family in any way.

Upon seeing the images of this sweet baby girl myself, I literally felt my ovaries transform from internal organs into the face emoticon with love hearts instead of eyes.

Even though I have five children myself and no intention to have another child. Especially since the last one I had, almost three years ago, is still sleeping in my bed. Sideways. With his feet in my kidneys.

So here we were. Two women, who had happily decided their families were complete, drunk as skunks on brand new baby vibes. Totally against our will. Madness!

Although we were not alone. Many women who because of science, become clucky against their better judgement due to hormones or other manipulative factors associated with reproduction. I decided to fight back. For the love of shutting up shop, I created this little reminder on why we all decided that we were done.

Here are nine reasons why you are done with reproduction:

So there you have it, and that’s just the tip of Elsa’s iceberg.

Don’t fall for those adorable little squeaky sounds and that new born baby smell. It’s a trap!

Be firm, stand strong. Sniff that adorable little newborn baby’s head but then walk away like a boss.
