Some backstory: my husband and I (F) are in our early 30's and have been married for three years. Having children is not at all on our radar right now as we love our life the way it is currently: spontaneous and frequent traveling, lazy days with sleeping in and doing whatever we want in general, nice dinners out, building our savings, etc. That being said, I LOVE children. I have two small nieces and being their aunt is one of my life's greatest joys. I also realize that not everyone is at the same place in life as me and it's totally okay that others want to be mothers and start a family.

However, I can't help but feel disappointed when someone close to me announces they are pregnant and it makes me feel terrible. My best friend just told me and our other two best friends that she's pregnant and while I'm truly happy for her and her fiancé, my first thought was "well, fuck...now everything is going to be different." We'd been planning her bachelorette party in Mexico for next summer and obviously that's not happening now. Along with no more wine nights, girls trips, or nights out...at least not for a good while. Even the group text has changed since she told us. It's all about her morning sickness, doctor appointments, etc.

The baby will come, we'll all adjust/make it our new normal, and it will be fine...but I feel bummed. I love my nieces, but there's no denying they've changed my family dynamic. We have to constantly work around their sports activities, plan family dinners to places they will actually eat, limit the adult conversation in front of them...kids change just about everything.

I guess what I'm asking is: does anyone else feel this way?
