I've known since I was a little girl. I don't really know *why*, I've just always known. Even as a child myself, I always told my mother that I wasn't having kids. I had few friends growing up, at least partially because I grew up very quickly and was unable to relate to most of the other kids....and I actually felt disdain for a lot of the behavior I saw in my peers (And I still do as a matter of fact!).

Babies give me the chills, much in the same way that many people here get creeped out by spiders or snakes. Every time I see a young baby, something inside me cringes, and sometimes it even makes me feel queasy.

I'm 19, and at the stage now where everyone is telling me "you'll change your mind". Yet...since I've known this my entire life, and I've spoken to many people through No Kidding! who have had the same experience, I no longer dread that they may be right.

(Besides, my maternal instinct is defective....I swoon and squeal over a litter of baby scorpions, but the sight of human babies makes my skin crawl. Go figure.)
