First off, I love this sub. So much wonderful information!

Here’s my issue. I’m 37F married to a 35M for 5 years. Recently he has started talking about children more often. He’s always wanted to be a dad apparently. We never really discussed it while dating, except the occasional “ehhh I dunno they freak me out” quotes from myself. I keep waiting for my “biological clock” to start ticking, but it hasn’t really happened. I don’t mind children, I’m good with them actually. But I just can’t fathom the idea of giving up my personal life for a baby. I’m feeling so much anxiety about this because I’m worried I’ll change my mind at 40-something and then it will be too late. Every now and then I’ll get the small urge to have a kid, but I quickly get freaked and change my mind.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?? I hope this is the right place to ask.
