When did you decide you were ready to have a baby?

Question

My husband and I got married 9 months ago and always think and talk about having a baby. But everyone around us tell us to enjoy married life and life without kids. We're both 25. We really want to have a baby but we don't want to regret it.

What do you think? When did you finally know you were? How does it feel like to be ready?

Answer

We got together at 19, married at 26 and now at 32 we're just about to have a munchkin. For us, we really enjoyed just the two of us and still have some concerns about adding another person in but to prepare for parenthood we got our financial house in order, made the modifications/renovations to our house that we'd been planning on and went on a kickass vacation that wouldn't be possible with kids. Kids are awesome and I adore them but this is a time you will never get back. When you have kids you make a promise to come second till they're much older. You'll never be young again and being a parent is really hard so really consider all the things you and your husband want before jumping in. Personally, I'm really glad we waited and worked on us first. Our relationship is what made this family and hopefully what will be left when the kids are grown. 👌

Answer

You won't regret it 😊

Answer

A few months before our wedding we just decided we would try and let what happens happens because we knew it may take up to a year or two to actually get knocked up. We found out a few days before our wedding that we were expecting and couldn't be happier 😊 just depends on the people. You just have to have a talk about it and decide what's good for you

Answer

I see it like this, life is simple when you first get married, but life truly begins when you have a child. It brings you closer together and you get to experience it together. I have asked myself, how did I  live my life without this little being. Its a life I would never trade for anything.

Answer

Every couple is different. If the two of you have a great foundation as a couple (pre marital counseling and effective communication and all those useful tools to keep your relationship strong) and you both are ready for the changes and responsibilities that come with growing your family...

If both of you are on the same page, and have support of close friends and family, I'd say go for it!

You and your husband are already a family. Good luck as you grow!

Answer

I knew I was ready the day I found out I was pregnant (at the age of 18). Life was definitely hard at first adjusting to being a mom and not having any extra money or the alone time with her dad that we had before, but every day of her life I thank god for her. My whole adult life (I'm almost 30) I've been a mom so I haven't been able to experience things that most people my age have, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Answer

Answer

My husband and I have been married for three years. He is 35 and I am 26. I knew I wasn't ready for a child and so did he. We set a plan to start after we had been married for 5 years. Well, here we are three years later pregnant with our first child. All of a sudden we both just felt "ready". We both wanted to enjoy our marriage and not just rush into children right after our wedding. I each their own however.

Answer

I knew I had found my soulmate, & we both weren't getting any younger. We are not married yet.
