I was never a baby person.....& at 60, I'm still NOT a baby person. I went into my marriage not wanting to have children.....ever.....I was more interested in a career & never related to kids my whole life.

I ended up getting pregnant a couple of years after I got married. I wasn't a good mom.....I didn't know the first thing about caring for a baby & really had no interest in learning.....so my husband being good with kids (the only thing he was good with) ended up doing most of the care with her & my parents were also willing to care for her while I finished my degree & had my engineering career.

With all the fighting in the marriage, it was a good thing she had my parents for a good stable home to grow up in.

Honestly, if you aren't good with kids & you really don't have the desire to have or be around kids, you are probably better off NOT having any....because so many kids don't have parents that are good with kids & end up messed up later on in life because of it.....definitely don't just have kids because you think your internal clock is telling you something....listen to your logical reasoning above & beyond everything else.
