Reason #250 Not To Have Kids: A Deep Dive

The Longest Labor

I’m currently waiting for one of my favorite TikTok influencers to confirm that she’s had her baby. I’ve been following her pregnancy journey for 9 months and yesterday, her due date, she stopped posting. For almost 48 hours, there have been no new updates, no videos, not even an Instagram story. So obviously, her comments are flooded with speculation that she has gone into labor. 48 hours is a long time to go silent, especially for someone who posts 3-4 times a day. I know all too well that labor can go on for hours and even days at a time, and I’m just praying she is has gone MIA so she can enjoy her first moments snuggling with her newborn, not because and she is STILL in labor.

And that brings me here, to Reason #250 Not to Have Kids: Labor can last a really long time.
