Carrie Underwood is opening up about her initial trepidation about becoming a wife and mother as part of her intimate new four-part docuseries.

In Mike And Carrie: God & Country, which premiered Wednesday night on IAmSecond, the 37-year-old American Idol champion says she at first was not sure she wanted to have children, admitting that she and husband Mike Fisher had different ideas about family when they first met.

In the series, Carrie says she never saw herself 'getting married or having a family,' while her 39-year-old former hockey player spouse claims that he wanted to replicate his own idyllic childhood.

Mike, on the other hand, was excited by the prospect. 

'I grew up with three other siblings and I had a great mom and dad,' the Peterborough, Canada-born Fisher revealed.

'I wanted to be the best dad, to be like my dad and have a wife like my mom, have kids and [live] in the country.
