I do not want kids. Being a mom is amazing. It's the best thing. I'm 33 and I have no kids.

Being a mom is literally the best thing ever. Do not have kids. I would argue it's one of the most

important decisions. You want to have kids. No. And I have no kids. When are you going to have kids? When are you going to have kids? There's no benefit to asking that question. Saying that to someone who is really struggling, it can end up triggering something so deep. Do I know how my life is going to change? And am I ready to embrace that change? The older that you get as a woman, the more difficult it is to conceive.

The pressure of having a child financially is actually one of the biggest factors in why people

are scared of having children. This is something I hear a lot when we're back in London.

Yeah, for sure. Is when are you going to have kids? Yep. It's a big question, especially after you hit 30s.

It's something, especially the aunties out there, they just really like knowing

for some reason.

They want to know what's happening.

And I think a lot of people struggle with it.

My friends really do, especially my friends who are not even in a relationship at the age of 35 or, you know, in their late 30s and they haven't got into a relationship.

And then they're really scared about the idea of when am I going to have children.

And then the pressure of people asking on top of that, I think more so for women than men, it's just really, it can be really difficult for so many people to hear that regularly and not know when it's going to happen for them. Yeah, talk to me about that pressure because I think you're right, women get it more than men. Definitely. And they hear it a lot more often from a lot more people. So talk to me a bit about that pressure because I may not

even understand it fully because that's not really something that men get hit with that often.

Yeah, I think, you know, biologically, look, it is true. The older that you get as a woman,

the more difficult it is to conceive. And so I think biologically, women have this internal clock

that is ticking. And whether you're unsure about

having children or whether you really want them you feel it internally that your body is aging

and what that means because you've been told that from such a young age that as a woman when you have

to have children the ideal age to have children is in your 20s as soon as you get your it's going to get harder. And so I think you feel it in your body and you notice changes that

are happening, which lead you to believe that it's kind of getting to the end of the time period
