Anyone else feel kinda icky about the pressure to pop out kids?

I was listening to a recent podcast episode that I really enjoyed (Nikki Maxwell hosted Courtney Cox and Thom Evans(?) and the topic of babies came up and I was hoping they would offer up some other points of view...<br><br>Well....after reading the comments on that episode, I'm shocked at the amount of people who say weird things about women who don't want to have babies or get pregnant. I don't know if it's because it's only pregnancy and baby-related chambers that I follow, but I see tons of women who are either not ready to conceive/get pregnant, or they don't want to do either at all someday. I'm kinda in a middle place where I do want to have babies, but I'm not ready to get pregnant yet, but I'm not sure I'll EVER move away from believing I need to have a bunch of kids, because I don't think I do. I feel more pressure and stress now that I'm 25 and not in a relationship, but I also know that I don't need to rush. I have friends who are on either side of thinking I'm crazy for not wanting children, or it's okay because babies are not for everyone. I'm thankful for social media, because I get to see how pregnancy and babyrearing is portrayed in a real way, but I also know to remember that it's just as important to think about how you feel about having children, even if the women you follow on instagram have a completely different idea of what it's like. If I didn't need to have children, I would adopt, because I know that I do want to be a mother, even if I don't know what I'll be like as a mom.<br><br>Thoughts?
