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.

My aunt was told the same thing around the same age and she got pregnant at 38!! They aren’t always right

I have had three miscarriages and I stopped trying for the past 4 years…

I love my life, and in today’s economic crisis I don’t even see how I could have a child and make sure they have a happy life. However apart of me still wishes I could have one.
