My fiancée is pregnant, and I didn’t want kids. What if this is the only time she’ll be able to conceive?

My (23f) fiancée got pregnant. We’ve been together for a year and a half, and have been engaged for six months. She knows I don’t want children, but she’s always been on the fence. She told me that if she ever gets pregnant, she’ll keep the baby.<br><br>I always thought that it was a given that I would live childfree, but now that she’s pregnant, I’m not sure. She told me that she wants to keep the baby, and I think that I can also come around to it. But she told me that she’s always had trouble conceiving. She had a miscarriage at 18 because she wasn’t expecting it so she didn’t take care of herself, and she was in a lot of pain and wasn’t able to get pregnant for three years after that. She told me that this is the first time she’s been able to conceive ever since then. She’s worried that this will be her only shot at being a mother, and I don’t want to keep her from that.<br><br>If we were to terminate the pregnancy, it could be her only chance to be a mother. She’s always wanted to be a single mother, but she told me that she’s in love with me and is happy to raise the baby with me. But I’ve always wanted to live childfree, and I’m not sure if I want to be a father so young.<br><br>I’ve talked to a therapist about it, but she told me that it’s ultimately up to me to decide whether or not I want to be a father. I don’t want to make the wrong decision, and I don’t know what to do. I just want to know if anyone has ever been in this situation before, and how they approached it.
