TTC or keep waiting?...

Question

My heart is telling me it’s time to start trying for a baby. I’m 29 and I’m afraid it might take a while, especially because I have short cycles and ovulate really early. My husband is 33 and has been ready for a baby for a few years and has been patiently waiting for me to be ready.
But my head is telling me to wait. We’re not totally financially stable, we could manage, but I’d like to have a little more saved up. And I don’t think I would be a very good mom because of my anxiety...
I’m stuck wondering if I should listen to my heart or my head...
Anyone else been in a similar situation?

Answer

As much as it sounds nice, you will never be fully prepared for a child. Not financially, mentally, or even physically.

Answer

It’s actually really refreshing for someone to be consciously weighing the heaviness of this decision. 
To really think it through, rather than all the bullshit I’m-lonely-I-just-want-a-baby-my-relationship-isn’t-even-that-stable-he-sometimes-cheats-on-me-we-can-barely-make-monthly-ends-meet-I’m-still-in-high school-but-I-do-what-I-want-I’m-depressed-and-a-baby-would-give-me-purpose-in-life crap.
I think it’s awesome you are thinking deeply about it. Good for you and good on your future baby if you choose to go that route.

Answer

Nobody is ever really fully ready for a child. If we waited until we were totally ready including financially, we’d still be waiting. We now have a 2.5yo, am 11mo, and we’re trying for #3. Go with your heart on this one. As long as you can provide a stable, loving environment and meet your child’s needs, then you’ll be fine. ❤️

Answer

I say wait till you feel your mentally and financially stable. Those little guys are expensive and you gotta account for the cost of diapers and formula which are expensive. It's emotionally draining (not saying a bad way, but it's hard). I say wait. You have plenty of time. I personally don't like being or feeling financially strapped, it gives me more anxiety. So depending on how you are .. I say just get yourself established first!!!
