Is maternal instinct nature or nurture? Are children really the meaning of life? When you’re 40+ and staring down the barrel of fertility…
should you or would you change your mind? 

 

I was 23 when my mother grabbed me by the shoulder, eyeballed me and said: “Don’t let society make you feel like a failure if you don’t have children!”
The power of it! I’ve lived my life since like a free-flying powerhouse Queen and now this biological clock has nearly ticked its last tock…
this is truly the Final Countdown!  

 

But what came first: the chicken or the egg? Did I ever want children?
Am I child-free by choice, or by chance? Was what my Mama said a blessing or a curse, and how are you supposed to know what you really want when everyone’s got an opinion?  Strap-in, it's going to be a bump-free ride!
