How does one beat baby fever?!

Question

I have always known that I've wanted to be a mother but at this stage in my life and age I am not ready to get pregnant and raise a child as my partner and I have planned. But I want one so bad! All my friends are getting pregnant or just having their little ones and it's adorable. The love connection I see that grows with having a family is beautiful!

Answer

I'm having the same problem (although I have health/hormone problems that will make it hard for me to conceive, so I feel a bit rushed to start ttc.) I just tell myself that in order to be the kind of mother I want to be and give my child the best life possible, it's better to wait. I don't want to "scrape by" or just be able to make it work. I want to bring a baby into this world knowing both my husband and I have saved money and done all we could to make sure our child will be brought into the best situation possible. That is what I tell myself to reassure me that now is not the right time.

Answer

Offer to babysit as often as they need it. You may and up wanting a baby more if it goes well, but if it goes bad it may make you want to wait. But if it does go well, you can always satisfy that desire for a child by baby sitting even more. *shrugs*
