“You're raised to think being a mother is an inevitable step in your development but you start to ask yourself questions, because not every woman does want to have children.”

Meaning

This reads as a challenge to a social script that treats motherhood as a default path. It points to the gap between expectation and personal desire, and to the relief of admitting that not everyone fits the same life plan. It lands for someone quietly questioning family pressure, especially when those questions are hard to say out loud.
