First off I would like to say that I am happily married and have been for almost 3 years also completely financially ready for a baby, however for no significant reason we thought I would wait until the end of this year to start trying. However for the past 6 months I have had a major case of baby fever and cannot seem to get it out of my head! I want to start trying now so bad! Has anyone else had this problem? I feel like with a desire this strong I should just give in seems there would be no problem whatsoever. Any advice?

Maybe its just your womanly intuition telling you that you're ready and to get on the ball....stop waiting! lol. If your hubby is ready...why wait? Start trying now...you may not get pregnant immediately anyway. Seriously, if you think you botha re ready...go for it....

Thank you for the support newlywed0915! I am seriously thinking about it, I am currently on the 2nd day of my cycle so im dont think I am going to start my next pack of pills. Obviously i've been thinking about it for a while but just want to be certain its what I want now. I think you are right though, sometimes women just know its the right time! And yeah who knows it could take a year to concieve...

Girl, you better get started and join the group. Don't wait! It is harder than it seems! I have had baby fever since last year. I thought I would wait too... (but shouldn't have) But, the sooner you get started the sooner you'll get a baby! haha

no problem...once you have that little miracle growing inside of you...it changes your whole life. Defintiely an amazing experience, and you and your husband will deeply bond. I'm only on my first...and this was a honeymoon baby....but its the best thing that happened to us...besides getting married of course! ;-)

I'll never understand why so many people encourage others to get started having babies right away. There are loads of reasons to wait (school, enjoy a few years of marriage first, travel the world, forge a career, etc.) and very few good reasons to rush into having kids. I'm d__n glad I waited, even though it took me over a year and a half and fertility treatments to get pregnant. The life I had before I had my son was just as important as my life with him. I think many people under-appreciate their pre-parenthood years.

I would have to say that in some situations you are correct, however each situation is different. I am a RVT, have traveled quite a bit, am not newly married, there really is nothing significant I have to wait for or anything that I have always wanted to do that I havent already done. Not to mention once my kids are grown I wont be soo old that I cant continue to travel.

I wasn't trying to imply that you still need to do those things. Of course, I don't know you or what you've done. I was more just talking in general. It just seems so sad to me that all these girls I see posting on this board in their early twenties are so eager to tie themselves down. Even those who have seen a bit of the world haven't seen much in that time. There's a huge world out there and so much to do in life, and the twenties are the best time to go out and see it without restrictions. Hell, even if you have your kids in your mid-thirties like me, there's still plenty of time after they leave the house to travel even more. My kids should be out by the time I'm 55 or so. That's still quite young!

hey linn, while I agree you have very good points, there are still benefits to being a young mom. I agree that there is still plenty of life to experience, but everyone's life paths are different. Even though this baby will be here in June, we'll be debt free and still able to accomplish our dreams and goals as they continue to grow and develop. The thing is that no matter what age you are, you have to know WHO you are, be postive of what you and your husband, boyfriend, etc ,want out of life, before you decide on marrying, having a child. etc. It is a very important responsibilty, and if you're not ready, then you aren't. But really, motherhood is a gift either way it comes. Yes, you can plan your life out, and try for everythign to be perfect, but it doesn't always turn out how you plan. You have to live each day like its your last...and continue to work hard, live well, and dream big.

some ppl like to live out their lives in different ways...like get married, have children, travel, and forge a career at the same time. Lol... thats what we're doing. I'm not a huge career woman, but financial stability is a must. While I can work in many different fields with my experience, my husband can also do the same and is working on starting his own business. Since we'll be debt free and he is will be making more than what we currenlty make with a joint income by June, I'll be able to stay at home witht he baby and work on my own aspirations: clothes line, designer pillows, curtains, etc. We are going to Hawaii next yer for a two week vacation and plan on traveling quite more frequently in the years to come.
