I am a 30 year old female. I have been engaged for a long time. I am not pushing for marriage, and I definitely do not want kids. I thought this would change as I got older. Is this normal??

No it's normal. You might change your mind once you get married and settled in for a few years... or maybe not. Only time will tell. Make sure your fiance knows and agrees with you. If not, it is a deal breaker.

It may change, my sister got married at 32 (now 37) and said no way to kids! Then they accidently got pregnant and miscarried....they were devastated! They then tried to get pregnant for a while after that and now their first child will be born in the Fall....things change so you never know...AND this was the third couple that I have known who changed their minds after they were so sure they would never want to have children... But, if you don't want kids, that is fine...your life will be what it is supposed to be, and if you were meant to have a child then something will change your mind..

I have never wanted kids and now at 45 years old I am glad I made that decision. I think it is a personal preference and is perfectly normal and ok

I turn 30 this year. I have NEVER wanted children. It is normal for me. Fortunately my husband didn't want children either, so he got a vasectomy at 24. We are very happy with that choice.
Yes it is normal.

Of course it's normal. Not everyone wants to, or should, have kids. They are not for everyone, and not wanting them does not make someone selfish, mentally ill (as Bantree would have everyone believe), or "consumed" with their own life.

Yes, there are other people out there who are the same way. It is your body and your decision whether or not you want to have kids.

No. I believe women are nurturing in nature and relish the thought of having a little one that look like them or their spouse to care for. Your distaste for having kids could be as a result of your experiences in the past. You may want to consult a psychologist.

Perfectly normal. I don't want kids either. Don't let anybody make you feel bad because you don't. You aren't just a uterus with legs you know.

it all depends on your definition of normal. if you don't want them then for you this is normal. if someone thinks you should want them then they'll think it isn't normal. all depends on how you look at it. who cares what others think? live your life for you. enjoy it. having kids is not a requirement for being fullfilled.

I'm sure it's normal. But, I wouldn't give up the idea altogether. I know people who regret not having any.
