Feels like everyone's having kids but me. Am I missing out?

I'm in my early 30s and suddenly my social media is flooded with baby announcements. Meanwhile, I'm here enjoying my DINK (Dual Income No Kids) lifestyle. But lately, I can't shake this nagging feeling that I might be missing out on something important.

Those who chose to be childfree, do you ever regret it? Parents, is it really as fulfilling as everyone says? How did you know you were ready?

I m going to be 30 in few months, I m also getting same baby News's from everyone around. Honestly.... feeling fomo but then I don't think I m ready. I seriously want to talk to people with kids or no kids ...like does it really make sense from all perspectives to create or not create a child.

But it is something so personal to people not sure parents will ok sharing the cons of being parents.

Any DINK couples in their 40s? How do you really feel?
