One grows up thinking you will naturally be able to have children, and when it doesn't happen, it's a shock. But I just feel that it wasn't meant to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some people seem as if they can never have been children, and others seem as if they could never be anything else.
I've never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn't mean for me to have kids so that everybody else's children could be mine.
And you know when I was growing up, I knew I wanted to have kids, but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41, 42, I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on, but even then it would be with a partner.
Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it.
You always hear people say that having kids changes everything, but you can't fully realize it until you have children yourself.
From the time I could speak, I knew I wanted to have children. It was just an innate desire.
I haven't really made up my mind concretely about having kids.
I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children. I did and I do and I will!
I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby.
When you discover that you are going to have a child, it stirs up memories of your own childhood.
