The most important decision an adult makes in their life is whether to have children. Everything you know, from your sexual life to how you socialize to your sleeping schedule, will change when you have a baby. It’s a lot to give up, especially if your feelings about children are mixed. There’s no other thing in the world like giving birth to a human being, someone you will love so strongly you might be surprised. This is ultimately a personal decision. However, it’s important that you communicate your thoughts with your partner early enough in the relationship so that they can process them and make sense of your feelings.

Discuss any obstacles.
Talk about the potential challenges that you see if you are both open to having children. Talk about childcare.

What are your plans for how long you will be away from work? How do you plan to make up the income lost? These are important topics to talk about, so be prepared to continue talking about them as your relationship develops.
