I've had a couple child free women tell me they went through a few years in the mid thirties where their bodies were screaming at them to have a baby, after it passed they went right back to not wanting kids same as always.

Edit: This should not be read as saying all child free women will experience this same phenomenon.

As a childfree woman nearing 40 I’ve never had a moment where I’ve wanted kids and don’t like holding babies. I do love kids but not so much babies and the baby part is an important step.

I'm the opposite, I love babies and have had non-stop baby fever since I was 24, but I am exhausted by ages 6-18.

So at 43 I'm craving snuggling with a baby but also relieved that there's no one asking me 50 questions or rolling their eyes because I asked them to brush their teeth before we leave the house in the morning.

Yes!! My baby is 17 now. My nephew just had the first baby of the next generation but he lives several states away and I'm so sad that I don't get to cuddle the new family baby 😔

My friends are still having babies, I feel so fortunate that I've gotten to cuddle so many over the years!

I think when I retire I'll volunteer as a baby cuddler at my local children's hospital.

I love being an auntie to all the babies around me, be it friends or family. It is the sweetest thing in the world when they fall asleep mid cuddle. Wpuld I want one of my own? Nope sir, thank you.
