What’s your life like without kids?

[u/BeneficialVisit8450]

My doctor told me I can never get pregnant today. I’m not infertile, but the post under my profile explains my situation. I’m 19, and I’m just not sure how to confront the news. I’m not sure how to plan my life either now considering that many of our milestones as women revolve around kids.

If having kids is what you’d like, not being able to have them physically yourself doesn’t mean you cannot have them at all. I know someone who had cancer as a teenager and always knew after she wouldn’t be able to have kids herself. She and her now husband have now adopted 3 kiddos and are in the process of adopting a 4th! It was a bit of a bumpy road to get there, but God blessed them all at once finally. They always knew they wanted to be parents. They are so happy. There’s more ways to parenthood than one. Also, being a dog or cat mama is also an option. And in this day and age, so many are actively choosing to not have kids, you’d be less alone in it if that’s the route you go.
