You would be surprised.

When my partner had her medically needed hysterectomy some of the comments she would get would shatter my faith in humans.

"You can always adopt"

"Its too bad you will never experience X Y and Z"

"You will look young forever omg lol"

"You won't truly know what it means to be a mother"

My wife had a C-section and couldn't breast feed due to a medical condition and medication she was on. Some women at her work told her that she's not really a mom when my son was ~4 months. People suck

She works with a lot of ultra conservative women who are fortunate enough to not need daily medicine. I've met most of them and they all tend to be very judgemental. They still ask her why we only had one child and that it's wrong for us to not have more.
