Regardless pregnancy and birth being an highly stressful and toll taking endeavour for a woman's body, many still opt to have large families, out of their own volition.

I really don't see how much clearer I can get in my wording.

You could say that about a lot of things. Boxing enacts an extreme toll on a boxers body, in training, in match prep and in the fight itself, yet many of them continue to come back to the ring.

Sometimes the thing that is a struggle and exacts a toll has a reward that makes it worth it. It doesnt mean the struggle to get the thing wasn't difficult or debilitating.

You're right and I whole heartdly agree with you.

I was trying to express that exact same idea on my first comment, with obviously disastrous outcome.

Yeah, I got confused by the numerous / large there.

Some peeps get away with having two families, but it usually is the guy because it's easier to father children on "business trips" than to do a whole pregnancy.

Travel salesman family arrangement.

It's the classic joke in my country.
