This is a throwaway of my husbands. He has asked me to delete this before he returns home so I will not be mentioning names. <br><br>**My wife wants to be childfree. I (F35) just had a change of heart and now want kids.**<br><br><br>My wife and I have been childfree by choice for the entirety of our 13 year relationship. We got married about 5 years ago and my desire for children was non existent from the start of our relationship and only got stronger as we aged. <br><br>In the last 6-12 months though, my thoughts have shifted. It’s scary because I have done a complete 180 and now find myself desperately wanting children. I am really unwell physically and mentally, and am so scared that my wanting children now will mean that I’m unable to conceive due to the health issues I’m facing, and will be unable to adopt due to my health issues too. <br><br>My husband has no idea about my change of heart, and he will absolutely be shocked when I do tell him as he has never wanted children and has only felt surer about that as we’ve aged. <br><br>I’ve actually arranged an appointment with my GP to discuss our options but I’m really scared that he will say I’m unable to conceive.<br><br>**TL;DR: After 13 years of not wanting children, I now desperately want them.**<br><br>Edit: I have half an hour before he’s due home, and I’m going to update here and then delete this post. Thank you for all the comments and suggestions. I think I’m going to have to sit down with a counsellor and talk out my fears. I also think I’m going to set up a second appointment with my GP, but this time with my husband in attendance. <br><br>**UPDATE**<br><br>I did end up going to the appointment, and the doctor said that not only am I unable to carry a child, but a child would likely be the death of me. <br><br>I broke down and told my husband, and we’re going to start discussing egg donation/surrogacy and adoption. <br><br>**TL;DR: Unable to conceive, discussing alternative options with husband.**
