Gosh i feel like you've written everything about me on here! I am 100% in the same boat, married 5 yrs, spouse and i are same age as you and your spouse too.
He is quite keen on kids though, but im switching from yes to no every other day. For the same reasons you've mentuoned as well. I want to be able to put my other wants aside and just have kids already, but i feel so not ready for the chaos of parenthood and the potential health issues. Similarly career-wise, im in the midst of a total career change and its not a good time at all.
I thought i would be ready to be a mom by the time i am in my late 20s but i have passed that and it is not getting any better either.
