Book recommendations: deciding whether to have kids or not

[Dakinired]

Hi, I'm desperately confused about whether to have kids or not. Can anyone recommend any books on this issue that could help me?

I'm not aware of any books but I'd say if you're not sure the answer is no.
It's much harder than you can imagine and not something to go into if you have doubts.

There was a book I read when I was thinking about starting a family that really helped me to see the reality of pregnancy and childbirth. It was called "A best friend's guide to pregnancy" by Vicki Lovine. Ultimately no one can tell you if you should have kids and it's one of those things you can't really know until you do it. Good luck with whatever you decide. It is definitely the hardest but best thing I have ever done.
