There are three things Choice Moms report in hindsight are their biggest regrets. What do you think they are?

3 Regrets in hindsight

What do women wish they had known before they embarked on the Choice Mom journey?

Regret #1: waiting (6.5 minutes)

Regret #2: doctor (11 minutes)

Regret #3: origin story (10 minutes)

This was originally structured as a Choosing Single Motherhood radio show. Because each of these lessons in hindsight is so important I'm offering it here in entirety so that we can share within the community.

I'm looking for Choice Moms to help other thinkers and tryers recognize these regrets sooner in the process. Listen in, and offer your own lessons below.

I SO regret waiting - I was unable to have bio children because my eggs were too old. But when I look back I just wasn't ready to give up on the idea of husband first, then kids. I kept waiting for Mr. Right - until I was almost 43. Oh well, I sort of figure what's meant to be is meant to be, but I wish those pangs of heartache over not being able to have a bio child would go away.

And in a related vein, see this blog post about the concerns women have shared about time spent with partners who aren't sure they want to have kids.
