A word for mums who never wanted kids

Whether or not a woman should have or choose not to have kids will always be a sensitive topic. Some women know that they wanted kids from a very young age, but for others, it’s not the case. There’s a part of society that doesn’t believe there are women who really don’t want kids and with that comes a lot of heavy judgement.

Within that community of women who have no desire to have kids, are those who actually end up having children. Life happens, things change and you find yourself breastfeeding at 1 a.m. while you’re half asleep. Now you have to awkwardly accept the congratulations for your baby and a part of you wants to curl up into a ball and cry.
