    I want loads! I've always known though, always thought oooh what would it be like? what would they look like, yada yada!

    I'm only 23 but I sooooooooo want them. And I would be delighted in a few years if I could concieve naturally.. Thats my main worry!

    I always used to worry about this too, for various reasons.
    But now you'll find me in the pregnancyt forum... 15 weeks today!
    So, don't worry about it :)

    I really didn't want kids as a teen, or through my early/mid twenties... I thought babies and children were strange little alien creatures, and imagined that I would be an ok auntie, but a crap Mum, and would grow up to be a crazy old cat lady that terrified the neighbourhood kids.

    Then I met my hubby. And suddenly, the thought of kids wasn't as horrible as it had been. And although getting pregnant was a slight surprise, I am really excited about it, and can't wait to have my own.

    Life has a way of changing your mind...

    My husband and I are both exhausted as our daughter decided that she wanted to stay awake all night (after being awake all day as well), our son is fixated on trains and gets upset if you take them from him. We also can not get away when we want as it is not easy travelling with our babies and we have no disposable income. But we would not want to be without them - there was a huge hole in our lives before they arrived - we love them. I do fully understand not wanting children as well though.

    I think that this is a really interesting topic and it is so nice to be able to have a decent discussion without it descending into slanging matches. Really like this forum!

    I personally do not want children and I've know it for a long time. I am very happily married to my best bud and we have a gang of furbabies (2cats, 2dogs and a rabbit) which occupy all of our spare time. Himself feels the same about kids as I do, which is great as there won't be any arguments or discussions about having them in the future (or so I hope!)

    I'm not 100% sure if people who are either very much anti or pro kids (and I don't mean anti-kids in a bad way) ever really change their minds, I think its more the women who are unsure who tend to have moments or even years where they think, yep its for me and then suddenly swing to the opposite end of the spectrum.

    I definitely do not feel as if I am missing out on anything by not having kids, I really, genuinely feel as though my husband and my animals are enough for me.

    We both have really demandng jobs too and are very career-oriented so I can't imagine either of us wanting to take a back seat on the corporate ladder just to have kids. So yeah, I think that if you are certain you either do or you don't then you won't change your mind, but if you never thought about it seriously then you can change your mind as your life takes it course...

    There are many things in life you have a choice about accepting or denying.

    But you can't deny your DNA.
