I don't think this is universally true. My sister adamently didn't want children and steadfastly maintained that position through several years of marriage despite much family pressure from the Fugee Mom (the BIL was apparently OK either way). Then she changed her mind, had a baby and discovered she loved being a mom.
I don't think it is a matter of pulling a sudden 180; more like a serious of 10-20 degree course alterations as one matures and/or has smaller life experiences along the way.
Edited to add that I should have read ahead before posting. Others (including Sebby!) said it better.
