I think it was one person who wishes she could have a lot of kids, and one person who felt I was in some superstitious way tempting fate and angering God by not counting my blessings. I actually kind of understand both viewpoints, but don't really agree with either.
And you're right, it does come from the same misogyny that shaped obstetrics as they are today. And I don't just throw around the word misogyny.
