Because you're not very old (really), you're under the impression that 20 years--of childrearing, say--is a long, long time. I've been out on my own, for 50 years now, which has allowed me time for a fairly vast variety of stuff, including more travel than most people manage. I'm not done yet, and neither are you, with or without kids.
Yeah, you make choices, but committing to childrearing now wouldn't mean the end of your travels; it'd just mean changes in approach, and maybe some different forms of adventure for a while. And when you're my age--a spritely 65 who complains a lot--you'll realize you were barely even started at age 41.
This is hard for you to believe right now, of course. That's ok; you'll see. When I was 39 I took off for a yearlong RTW trip, certain I was running out of time. Heh heh.
Hope that's helpful. At the very least, please get in touch in 25 years so I can remind you that I told you so.
