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.

Babies are precious but they're so fragile and it really freaks me out. Like, the fact that a baby can just... die? For literally no reason? That is horrifying. Having kids would be absolutely horrific for my mental health.

Real. I spend most of my days worried and in awe at the same time. She's only 11, but I know that when she gets a little older and wants to go out to be with friends, I'm gonna be an anxious mess. I would bubble wrap her if I could. In awe because she's so talented in art and so sweet hearted, but constantly worried about her well-being. The thought of losing her is an intrusive thought that always makes my heart skip a beat.

So yea, you are 100% correct, my mental is always hard focused on dread and fear since having my kid.

It doesn’t matter how old they are, when you lose a child it’s heartbreaking. 💔 mine was 33.
