You know, it really isn't part of the normal course of a woman's life anymore. Many women choose not to get pregnant at all, and many more choose to delay it. Further, 31% of women (probably more now) are given surgery- for this normal course. blog.bolandbol.com For most women it's not normal. Most women aren't pregnant early and often, and pregnancy is pretty much a disorder. It's much more of a disorder in our society than a limp willy- since willy won't affect your work, or give you a 31% chance of having your gut opened with a scalpel. As animals you could argue, as you are, that we are designed to breed- but really, we aren't any more. We don't need to breed excessively, and it probably would be a bad idea (and horrendously expensive) if we did. So no, I don't buy the normal thing. I mean by that logic- it's normal for people to wear out and have limp willies when they get old. I mean it's the effect of aging- you can argue that's just the natural order of things. But we've changed that- with willies and with pregnancy.
