Why Do We Really Want a Baby? - From reasons to consequences - Psychoterapist Cristina Nic

— The essential book for anyone at the crossroads of parenthood—clear, compassionate, and courageously honest. —

This is not a parenting manual. It’s an invitation to a single, honest moment before any life-changing decision: the moment you allow yourself to ask, without shame or pretense— Why do I really want a child?

Inside is a safe space to examine the deepest motives behind the desire to have a baby—where longing intertwines with fear, old wounds, unmet needs, and inherited ideals. The book asks uncomfortable questions, opens pathways for healing conversations, and creates room for deliberate choice—not impulsive, pressured, or reparative decisions.

For the woman who feels guilty for lacking an immediate maternal instinct; for the man uncertain whether his wish comes from love or a need for validation; for couples hoping a child will save a relationship; for those who choose not to have children and fear judgment; and for parents who want to understand, heal, or transform their bond with their child—this is a reflective, compassionate guide to knowing yourself more deeply.

Becoming a parent is more than giving life. It’s accompanying it. And that journey begins with one essential question: Why do I really want a child?
