Unsure about having children?
Having children might be an open question, something you could see yourself doing later, or something that isn’t part of your plans right now. You can talk through how you feel without having to reach a decision.
Where does this question fit in your life today?
Start by thinking about what you want, what takes up your time right now and what other people expect of you. What might change if you had more time, stable housing or someone to share caregiving with? This can help you see how much of the uncertainty comes from where you are in life right now.
How can you talk about it with someone you trust?
If you’re in a relationship, invite your partner to talk so you can hear each other out. You could say “I’m still thinking about it. I’d like to hear how you see it and tell you how I feel.” If you’re exploring the question on your own, talk with someone you trust or write down what you’d like to think through.
What support could you count on if you decided to go ahead?
Think about who you could talk to and what practical support you’d find helpful. That might mean help organizing your time, someone to share caregiving with or a chance to ask a professional your questions. Writing down the support you already have and what you’d need can give you a starting point for a future conversation.
