To baby or not to baby

I’m aware that more women are choosing to not marry or have children. I know I’d like to get married, however the idea of starting a family perplexes me. Im caught between the beauty of the creation of life and the financial strains I could face in the future. Looking at the statistics on the rising human population in relation to the animals that are going extinct is astonishing and yet another reason I’m questioning having children. The awareness of the impact that we have is baffling. It feels selfish for me to want children solely because I think it’s a beautiful concept or that I’d like to experience love for a child. I’m sure I’d be content to simply live life with my future husband, however I still have not made up my mind on the matter.

Has anyone who’s chosen to not have children have any advice or guidance?

Thank you guys so much for reading 😁
