Nervous starting a family

My partner is ready to start a family like yesterday! I am really excited to have kids with him and start our family but whenever it’s brought up i get scared and anxious. Is this normal? Shall I wait until I’m 100% or are you never 100% ready?

I think that it depends. Some people are 100% ready others aren’t. It just depends on the person. It takes two to tango, so the decision is ultimately in your hands regardless

I think I’m life if you wait until your ready you will ever do anything, you’ll never be fully ready for anything! New job, new house, marriage, a baby! You just need to take a leap of faith! When we decided to start trying I didn’t feel 100% ready that was 5 years ago! We are still struggling with TTC haven’t yet got pregnant! Good luck, what’s meant to be will be ♥️

Thank you! We are in the house buying process as the moment and then we want holidays but still want a family as some point, just don’t know when I’ll want to start or be ready! Best of luck in your journey xx

Thank you all! I was told yesterday by a 3rd party that me and my partner wasn’t ready because we are sooo into each other we wouldn’t cope with bringing someone in and it’s just more uncertainty even though I don’t believe what they said is a valid argument

Your feelings are normal. It’s a big step and you will know if it’s the right thing to do.

Life's a surprise,we've all been in your shoes,there's never a right time to know if your ready to start your family.After my first child with my husband,we were over the moon,our Daughter was born in 2009. We were in shock when a couple years after we found out we're going to have another baby,neither times were either of our finances stable but we managed and are still in the same situation but its become manageable as the years went by. Our son was born in 2011,which he was our surprise baby because we weren't trying for another baby,it just happened,we decided this time it'd be different,because of our finances and certain family issues we had to do do the hardest thing a parent could do and gave our daughter daughter up for adoption at 5 months old for her safety and to give her a better life. This time we decided to keep the second pregnancy a secret from my till this very day vindictive family members who tried to bring harm to our daughter,this time around I made sure only myself and my husband knew about my pregnancy and my grandmother and great grandmother before both passed away. Anyway there's never a right time to start your family,whatever your finances are you both may decide to wait to start your family once you have a bit more finances saved.but there's nothing more sweet than when you hear your babies heartbeat,you'll instantly at that moment forget about finances and try your best to prepare for bundle of joy.

I feel like you're never ready for children I've had three kids and each time I got pregnant I thought I'm not ready for another one but but over time you get more excited for the little life you're going to bring into the world! Everything falls into place once you hear that little heartbeat!

Thank you! I thought of waiting until I’m 100% ready in terms of position in life and finances but wasn’t sure if that would ever happen so it’s good to know it’s completely normal

You are never ready. Just see if it happens 🤷🏼‍♀️
