Are kids really that needed?
I am struggling in my career, in my post 30s too, stuck in jobs switch and upskillig race of jobs, no one to support you ( apart from the partner)I worry sometimes in this all messy life, what the hell I am going to do. If I am planning or having kids. ? Life is impossible sometimes, as we both are under constant jobs pressure.

Relax. Don’t take pressure.

Don't need to think about kids if your life isn't sorted
If you are under this much stress, do not bring a child into this world. Children are long term responsibilities, if you can't provide them with the stability, safe and nurturing environment that they require to grow, then you are going to do a disservice to them. Don't care about the societal pressure. If you can't handle something, it is better left alone.
If you still want to have kids, try to take care of a kid of your known person, and take care of them for a week, 24x7, or at least for a whole day. See if you are able to manage this happily along with all other daily tasks that you have, and then make your choice whether you want to have kid(s) or not.
