I dont like kids? But is it healthier to have them?

Question

ok.. I heard on t.v that a women who never has kids has an increased of getting breast cancer. or after the age of 30. How big is the chance if a women never has kids ever and she also started her period early. I am concerned about my health but I would rather not have kids ever because i dont want them.

Answer 1

Children can also be a health risk.  Don't have kids just for your health.

Breast cancer can be treated, and it's more important to get it detected early on than it is to try to prevent it completely (because there's no real way of completely preventing it).   Do breast self-exams once a month, and talk to your doctor about when you should start getting mammograms.  

Preventative medical care is not an acceptable reason for having children.  

Answer 2

If you don't want kids then don't even think about it...its ridiculous to think you should have a kid just because breast cancer is supposedly a smaller chance afterwards.....just keep getting check ups if your so worried about it...but better yet don't think about it so much...your mind is a powerful thing....its very possible to get breast cancer simply by thinking about it all the time...your mind will convince your body you have cancer and your body will produce it...so stop worrying about it and get yearly check ups and you will be fine without having to get knocked up for no reason

Answer 3

Don't have kids just for your own health!!

If you have kids and you don't want them, you most likely will treat them bad and won't love them like a mother should. That is cruel to the children and selfish!!

Answer 4

If you don't want kids then don't have them.  The risk of breast cancer to those that don't have kids as opposed to those that do is much to small to have kids over.  Ask your doctor if you don't believe me.  "Health experts" are always going off on tangents saying this is bad or that is bad but if you listen to everything they say you'll go crazy!  And if you don't like kids then by all means don't get pregnant!  Good luck.

Answer 5

Don't have a child just to have one-that's not fair to the child. Even women who do have children have increased risks of breastcancer if they don't breastfeed.
