How much pressure have you had to have kids?

I've actually had people be less pushy about it once I hit my 30's. Though I still get the occasional "why not?" and "what if your husband changes his mind?" when they ask if I have children. Which is honeslty pretty crazy to me, what if it wasn't by choice (it is) and now you're asking "why not?" to someone who wants them but for whatever reason can't have them.

I'm fortunate enough that my parents and in-laws both don't bother us about it. They'd love grandkids but know we won't be having any. The pressure mostly came from coworkers in my 20's where they'd say "You'll change your mind" and dismiss my opinions.

Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with?

I'm going to respond seriously in case this is a serious post:

Typically the "fishy" smell comes from Bacterial Vaginosis, which is an imbalance of bacteria that can be caused by several factors. It's not common in healthy vaginas and if yours smells like fish then I recommend seeing a doctor and having it treated. Most women do not have a foul odour down there, especially not one that you can smell through clothes while keeping normal social distances.

You can't believe everything you've read on the internet. Also, it sounds like the men you're getting your information from are either prepetuating this myth unintentionally, or are very immature and think they're funny (they're not). I recommend going out and actually interacting with women, there are plenty of women out there who are also not girly that have similar interests to you. They won't smell any different than a man would.

The best way to overcome your preconceived notions about others is by genuinely interacting with those people. I'm sorry you were bullied, but just as jerks exist in all genders, so do kind and awesome people.

Edit: I forgot to actually answer your question, no this is not a normal thing to worry or think about. It might be time to seek professional help.
