So Draupadi's children were all killed by Ashwatthama. I have a very silly question. Why didnt she have more kids of her own with the Pandavas after the war?

Ashwi's Brahmashira was aimed @ all the Pandava women, not just Uttara, and as a result, they all became barren

I always thought of it why they did not have any more children? Now it makes more sense. Because ashwaththama committed the biggest sin of killing tha possibility of any future that is why Krishna cursed him so badly. 👏

Thanks. I was wondering the same.
It makes sense though.

No I just read parikshit life story and it clearly says that the only heir who could succeed yudisthir was parikshit and ashwatthama wanted to destroy it and so he threw the Brahmastra towards uttaras womb killing parikshit Krishna with the power of his lifetime merits had given life to uttaras womb once again... Krishna named him parikshit as he was tested by god when he was in uttaras womb. Uski pariksha Ishwar ne kok mein hi leliyatha so he was named parikshit and that's how the great son of warrior or the great abhimanyu was born... It was not meant to make all the women barren and by the time the war ended I guess it was not the age to be bearing children by the pandavas and draupadi or Subadhra so basically them bearing kids after war doesn't make sense and it's not necessary that they give birth to sons only they had daughters too so maybe or I'm not sure anyways but yeah ashwatthama deserved that deadly curse how could he even think of destroying the entire pandavas lineage it's totally unfair . No wonder he got such a curse...

It still does not make any sense to me. I hope Brahmastra was not aimed at all women. If all soul are Gods kid than anyone could have become king, it need not be a pandav. Karna one son was anyway alive.

I don't think that this is much of a question. Even if we feel that the Brahmastra was targeted only to Uttara and not the entire Pandav ladies, she might have become too old by the end of the Kurukshetra war to bear children. I mean at least we know about 26 years since her marriage (12 years when Arjun was in exile, 13 years of Vanawas+ Agyatwaas and 1 year of war preparation) And I am sure there might have been some time other wise too.
Even though Agniborn, she had to follow the earthly rituals
