Nothing should! Parenting is hard fucking work, and if you're not one hundred percent up for it, then don't do it!

Even in some fantasy ideal world where pregnancy and childbirth are easy, preschool is free, and the future isn't somewhere between bleak and horrifying... being a parent is still an incredibly taxing ordeal, mentally, physically, and emotionally. There are plenty of kids in the world. Nobody should get born to parents that feel even the slightest bit of reluctance at their existence.
