Good lord.
I'm terribly sorry.
If it makes you feel any better, the life you've just gave up will go into the parasite that will soon hatch.
Er...no wait, thats no better.
This is terrible, terrible!

Great, so you are bringing another human to this miserable, painful, overcrowded, overpolluted, overcompetitive existence? Whatever self-centered thought possesed you to do that?
And you feel happy about that?

Ugh, you disgut me Kuu, bringing twin posts into the forum based world, like so many of your other, fatherless tentacled spawn that you wholly neglect and leave to seek out lives of drink, drugs and rape on the streets of Meck-eek-ooh.
Get some respect you fiend.

Start the involuntary behaviour conditioning early for best results
I'm only half kidding here, my parents never held the belief that just because I was a child I was incapable of knowing better, when I was doing something wrong they would stop me and tell me in a firm tone, in stark contrast to the neighbours who had to tie shut every reachable cabinet and remove anything/everything breakable form their house.
The reason I bring this up is because I have no sympathy for people with bratty/screamy kids, because the age old say "you were like that once" means nothing to me.
The first (and only) time I made a fuss in a shopping centre my Dad (he acts like a mother and she acts like a father, it's weird) took me home, sent me to my room for a couple of hours to calm down, then came in and asked me what it was that I wanted so bad, and to this day I remember it vividly, I had completely forgotten.

Huh, that may have been when my nihilism started.

Congratulations. Don't let it play with sharp objects.
Well, to begin with.

Oh, this reminds me, if you're the megalomaniacal type and willing to bring it into your family life, you might want to read up on Laszlo Polgar and his three daughters.

Hopefully the spawn of your genetic Russian roulette won't have too many mental and physical deformities.
Seriously why aren't we engineering people yet?

I wish you luck. I hope that you enjoy your experience as a parent and the kid grows up to be healthy and happy relatively speaking.
I feel like a fairy godmother or something. "I bless this child with relative happiness!" * TING!*
I have this weird nascent worry that I might someday become pregnant and if I'm still a part of this forum I will announce the fact that I'm having a kid. Then I will be ostracized.

denouement to a pretty snazzy book: "...simply the preservation of this tormented [human] existence for a short span of time. In between, however, in the midst of the tumult, we see the glances of two lovers meet longingly: yet why so secretly, fearfully, and stealthily? Because these lovers are the traitors who seek to perpetuate the whole want and drudgery, which would otherwise speedily reach an end; this they wish to frustrate, as others like them have frustrated it before." so whats the rub? whats the cause of this sudden ejaculation? simply to say congratulations and to commend you on your service to the species.

Congratulations on not being the one who's going to have to carry the thing in their body for 9 months going though various kinds of physical discomfort, pains, psychological and emotional fluctuations due to hormonal changes, going through the excruciating pain of labor and having their genitalia mutilated in the process, and various other post-labor health and emotional issues.

Yay, people who have no life!
Seriously, I've never racked up a greater post count in such a short time than I have on this forum.
EDIT: Well... nevermind...

It is somewhat annoying that you even ask this. Was my previous statement not clear enough to elucidate my reasoning to not have children? I would have to be stupid, cruel or both to know all that and still breed...

Study up on significant changes to your outlook. Parenthood releases hormones or something in a great many mothers and fathers that can create confusion, especially for us, since they deal with emotions. Specifically, you may experience a shift to something new, "Protect and Nurture," as your default condition for a few years, especially while the kid is helpless. It dwindles as time passes but never completely goes away. It appears to be a gene-inflicted shift in outlook triggered by the smell of dirty diapers or something. 
In any event just be prepared for it, because if it happens you really can't do anything except go with it. (Not everyone experiences it. But being INTP doesn't mean you're immune. It just means you might have to have more emotions to deal with than you'd like.)
If you're happy about being a parent, congratulations. You will get to find out a lot about yourself as a result of the experience and probably most of it will be good.

maybe your parents were the smart ones, to recognize what they were dealing with, and they it required a special way of handling... not to follow what all the other parents were doing, what all the books were saying... imagine if your parents had raised your the "normal" way....
