I wasn't keen in my twenties, all I can remember about my thirties is the desire for pregnancy, babies, having them, the agony of losing them, horrendous obstetric problems never before anticipated, and in the middle of it all being extremely lucky to have my lovely daughter at 35. By my early forties the whole 'baby thing' left me, and I'm glad I'm not going through all that again now - but I'll never underestimate it's power.
