I feel like hypothetically it is a worthwhile thing to share with your friends that you and your partner have decided you want children and that the time is now. It's a big life decision, and when the time comes for myself and my partner, I will definitely want to talk with my close friends about it.

The conversation doesn't have to be about raw dogging, instead it could be about planning for children. Many people plan for children in advance of getting pergenat.

If it comes up in conversation with close friends, absolutely let them know that you're starting to plan for a child. But making it something to announce like it's an occasion is very weird energy.
