[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP - it was a feeling that something was incomplete, not right, and picturing my future without kids seemed bleak and wrong. Now that I’ve had two kids, the urge is gone and it’s hard to remember exactly what it felt like... which is how I know we are totally done. But it was super strong at the time. [/quote] I agree with this. I was never a person who loved babies or kids. I still don't. I like my kids. But I would never choose a career working with children, for example. At some point in my 30s, I had this gut punch that if I just kept going on my current childless path, my life would lack purpose and meaning and I would regret it. The thought of not having a family gave me tremendous anxiety. Frankly, the thought of having just one child gave me a lot of anxiety too and felt really incomplete to me. Stopped at 2 and never gave one second of serious thought to having more. Was done and moved on.[/quote]
