matrix - September 22

Hi im 24 ive been with my b/f only 3 months. I love him to bits and he loves me. Thing is every single day without fail i think about getting pregnant and having a baby with him. I just want a baby so much i dream about being pregnant all the time.I worry that the longer i wait the less likely i will be able to get pregnant. I dont want to wait until im thirty odd to have a baby.I think about this everyday its becoming an obsession i dont know why im so baby obsessed. Everytime my b/f touches my stomach for whatever reason, i think about being pregnant and pretend to myself i have a baby in there. Im so weird i know but i dont know how to get over this!! i know my b/f wont want a baby just yet and it would probably freak him out knowing i was thinking like this. Whats wrong with me and what can i do to stop myself thinking like this please help! thanku xx

I know exactly what you mean. I'm 22 and feel the same way around my husband. I think about having a baby all the time. If you want to talk, you can email me at jenny1606492@yahoo.com.

obsessing is part of ttc girl! i was obsessed as well, until i got pregnant, and i know i will become obssessed again, the only difference is iam married to the man i wanna be with for life. 3 months is not a long time, so just get to know this guy better and be totally in love before you concieve and then try. you aren't too young, but your relationship is. hugs, sherry

I agree with Sherry. Obsessing is pretty normal. I remember wanting to be married by 23 and have a baby by 25 at the latest. I got married at age 27 and at age 34 I'm pregnant with my first. Not exactly how I planned my life and OMG was obsessive about babies! lol But I'm really glad I waited till the right time. Don't worry about obsessing, I think we all do that. But do wait until it's right.

I obsess over it every single month! I mean I get depressed when my period starts cause that means.. no baby. I just keep hoping that it will happen soon!! I have been with my boyfriend for 7 years... so the time is right!

Nothing is wrong with you, absolutely NOTHING! I'm at the same point you are, just I'm tryingto get pregnant. I turned 30 yesterday, last month I tried for the first time to get pregnant, I was sure I made it, you know, symptoms, strange feelings,... I thought I would have been a mom by the beginning of next summer. Can you imagine how sad, depressed, upset, disappointed i was this morning when I got up and found out my period just started!? I cried! But I will go for it again and again , because I want my baby.

I too have had two beautiful babies. Ages 3 1/2 and 6 months. I want to be pregnant again so bad it kills me!!!! I honestly think about everyday and am cosntantly trying to figure out when the best time to get pregnant again will be. Does anyone else out there just always want to be pregnant???

OK, you should talk to a professional. And in case you're wondering YES, it probably would freak him out to hear you talking like this you loon!!! Sounds to me that you don't want to be a mother, you just want to be pregnant.

Kinda agree with mental! Do you really think your ready for parenthood or is it the idea of being pregnant that sounds attractive to you? I kinda understand how u must be feeling cause I think I'm in a simular situation. I'm 24, been married for 6 months but been with my hubby for 6 years now. It's really only since we've been married that I've started to think about starting a family. It's definately normal to obsess about all this stuff, just read all the other posts, there's heaps of people in the same situation. Don't want to make u feel dishearted but try and be realistic, r u and ur man of 3 months really ready for a life altering experience?

you are not the only one

I kinda think that the strong desire to have a baby is not necessarily a sign that you're ready to have a baby but more a sign that you've found the right person. I personally never felt a strong desire to have a baby until I met my husband. I can remember sitting on his lap after we'd known each other only three months, and for the first time in my life (and at the age of 30) I thought, "I want to have this man's baby." Really, I'd never actually spent much thought on the subject of ever being a mother, even though I was with a guy for 10 years before I met my husband. Now I'm 33, and we'll start trying in a couple weeks. In retrospect, if I'd had such feelings for someone when I was younger (such feelings of absolute certainty), I might have tried at a younger age, but certainly no younger than 25. There's just still too much growth time before then.

I agree with some of the other comments,just because you have a longing does not mean you are ready.You have only been with this bloke 3mths,you cannot love him fully by that time,you do not know enough about each other yet.Why can't you just enjoy being together,without the extra burden,of a demanding baby?You are only 24,why worry about not being able to get pregnant?Its not like you are in your 40's when the clock really would be ticking.You say you don't want to wait until you ar in your 30's,but you never know you may split from this man you are with,or for whatever reasons it maybe that you are in your 30's before having a baby.I know its each individuals choice,but for me,I have had two children,and yes,in my 30's.I am glad I waiting this long,for me,I built up a career,that I've now left,but the money helped financially.My husband and I enjoyed our time together.I had a horrendous birth with my 1st,and can now understand what people do not tell you about babies until you ar at anti-natal cla__ses.They say how hard it is going to be and demanding the baby is.I honestly feel that the history my husband and I have helped.I know other people who have not been together long that having a baby has put stress on their relationship.Other women wjo I met up with after our babies were born.Some have said that the baby is their life,not the partner,or that the baby is making life difficult because they have no time.This is so rellevent on couple who are young maybe,or not together for long.Your child takes up a lot of time.When I had my 2nd,I was only going to get pregnant so long as I could have a planned section,no way was I going to have a natural delivery again,I tell you that in itself is hard work!
