And why that pressure often comes from ourselves. We hope you can relate!

Eeeek - not wanting kids, or not wanting them YET, is a topic full of stigma in society. It's 2018. In the UK, women have SO much more choice than we used to. But there's still a lot of pressure around having babies, whatever your age or stage in life. Today, Danielle and I are having a very frank and honest conversation about our feelings and experiences with this - both being childless, with plans to be childless...at least for the foreseeable future!
