As much as I would like to be married and a mother, there are times that the thought frightens me.

There's that, but for me it was the realization that babies die or can be very close to death. I've known families where this has happened, but usually there's an underlying factor (drug use, a genetic disorder that should have been recognized) or the mom was told from the beginning that she shouldn't have children. This year, I dealt more with couples who did everything "right" and still the kid died or was very close to it. That scares me a lot.
