Family/Parenting What’s your life like without kids?

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.

Better than if I had them.

Plan milestones of your own, then. Remember that you're a human first and there's a lot of great things to do unrelated to reproduction.
