Carrie Underwood Insists Babies Aren't on the Brain ... Yet

Carrie Underwood probably won't be hearing the pitter-patter of little feet any time in her near future. She's got her hands full right now with her ultra-successful career, but she has admittedly thought about being a mom ... once life calms down a bit.

"One day, I'm absolutely fine and happy and start legitimately thinking about the idea of having kids, and the other day, I'm thinking, 'Oh gosh, no, no, what?' I can barely keep my own schedule straight," Carrie tells ABCNews.com. "Right now in my life, I'm smart enough to know that I'm a selfish person, and I can be, and that's OK. There's nothing wrong with that. At least I recognize it. That's a big step. It's like moving away from home. It's really scary until you do it and then you figure it out."

Since marrying pro hockey player Mike Fisher in 2010, she's been navigating deeper personal relationship waters, as well. Though she and her hubby are often apart for long stretches of time for their respective careers, Carrie recently told ABC's "Nightline" she has no trust issues when it comes to her husband's fidelity -- which is a definite change from her previous relationships.

"I know he loves me and I know he loves God. And he wouldn't do that to either one of us," she insists. "Every guy I've ever dated before Mike, somewhere in the back of my head, I would always have trust issues. With Mike, it never crosses my mind."

Carrie's new CD, Blown Away, which hits stores May 1, features a tune that speaks to that kind of longtime loyalty and devotion. "Forever Changed" is about a woman who is married with children and is approaching the end of her life. It's also one song that fans will likely never hear Carrie sing in public, because it just reminds her too much of losing her own grandmother.

"I get emotional even talking about this song," she admits. "It's just beautiful. It becomes very real ... and I remember my grandmother at the end of her life, looking at my dad and thinking that that was my grandfather. I can never sing this song on stage in front of people. I could barely get through it in the studio."

Blown Away will be released on Tuesday (May 1). Pre-order the album here.

I loved kids all my life but never wanted any until I woke up one more and out of teh blue decided having a home life seemed much better than the party life I had. kind of a strange revelation for a guy.That was when i knew my youth was gone at 30. Still loved kids but did not want any. since then I have raised two of my own and help with a few others over the years but I alwasy knew when time was right for me and not on someone else's schedule. If and when that time does come in your life you will know it and it will seem like the most natural thing in the world. if it doesn't tehn it was meant you have other things to get done and don't worry about it. Some people were not made to be parents and many barely survive it (LOL).

Why do people automatically assume others want children? I am childless and happy. I have never wanted children. This does not make me selfish, just realistic. My "almost husband" (I'm not into marriage, either), and I are leading the life we've always hoped for, and would have been impossible with children. We aren't missing a thing! Next big trip...sailing to London for the Summer Olympics - Bon Voyage!

it is a proven fact that woman who put off having kids end up with fertility problems. I know a couple who for at least 5 years said that they didn't want kids - they got married when they were abou 26 today she is 35 and now she wants kids when just last year she was saying she didn't want any. She now feels that she is entitled to another woman's child because the other woman is single and there is no father at this time. Carrie stop being selfish and have your children now while your young and have the energy and there isn't a fertility issue.

Just because you are not ready to have kids at a certain stage in your life does not make a person shallow. She does not say she NEVER wants kids; however, she has the good sense to recognize that right now in her life she is not ready. That is not being shallow. In my job working with young people, I saw too many tragic situations where so many young women had babies for whom they were not prepared to care for or nurture. It was a sad situation for the child as well as for the moms. She is to be commended for wanting the best for any future child she may have, and that means her ability to spend time loving and caring for him or her. It is not being shallow; rather, it shows maturity.

@Janice: She's not saying she never wants kids - just not right NOW. With so many people procreating without forethought, I applaud her decision. Realizing she's not presently ready for the responsibility of children is mature and makes it more likely that when (or if) the time does come, she'll be in a place in her life where she can do all the things it takes to be a good parent. And if that time never comes, that's fine, too - it's a personal choice and does NOT render one's life worthless. I'm a little older than your younger daughter and I've never regretted my decision to not have kids. I love children and have several of them in my life, and that's satisfying enough for me and many other women who make the same choice.
