For 26 straight years, I never wanted kids. I had abosultely no desire to have kids. Never thought I would. And people would always say 'you'll change, you'll want them' etc etc. I heard it all and still proclaimed permanent childfreeness. I even had childfree bumper stickers on my car. That's who I was, the lady who didnt' want kids. Then last winter, my hubby went down south to help out with cleanup after Katrina and was gone until this past March. And guess what happened when he was gone? I was shopping for his relative's baby shower, and it hit me. It hit me at 26 years old that I wanted to have a baby - not one, but two! I have been in the baby mood every sense and we've been TTC. We're so happy and exicited. My hubby ALWAYS has loved and wanted kids, but he had decided to sacrafice that to marry me. He is so happy that I have decided to have children with him. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Gosh I guess perhaps that 'biological clock' DOES exist!??!

when I was young i said I never would have kids, now i am 23 with two beautiful girls and a boy on the way!! I think it is great that you have changed your mind. Go for it. You are at a great age to have a baby!! I think what happened to me is I realized that only women(with a little help from men) have the skill to make a life inside them. It is a wonderful thing. I hope you do have a baby. I think your life has changed and you see that baby's are wonderful Welcome to womanhood Chicky.
good luck on baby making!

Yes there are other people like that because that was my hubby when i first met him(and i had 2 daughters from my first marriage)
well he and i started dating but he still was saying that he didn't want kids so one night he and i sat down and i told him that i could not see anyone who didn't want kids because my girls and i were a package deal. He left that night and he did allot of thinking about kids and having a family and he came back the next day with roses and asked me to marry him( we were also pregnant at the time like 3 weeks along) We lost that baby but we now have 4 children altogether and we are as happy as can be. He really did change his mind but he really had to think long and hard it was the biggest decision he ever made.
Good Luck and Take Care

Congratulations! I married a man, who didn't want children, but to make "me" happy, he decided we could have two. Three years later, we divorced, he had to be forced to pay child support, he married a woman with no kids, and even though our kids are grown, he still has little to nothing to do with them.
I am happy for the two of you that the feeling is mutual and for your future children!

Everyone says I'm going to change my mind, but I haven't in 32 years.

You bet it exist!! From what I see, you must be around 40 years old. If you wait any more, you'r baby might born, with Down Syndrome. After 40, you'r taking a risk, not only with you, but also with you'r baby!!

once you get older and more mature the mothering nature in you becomes more evident. my sister did not want kids but when she turned 30 she dropped everything to get pregnant. best of luck on ttc
