How do you deal with WANTING to conceive, but knowing you're not in a good spot in life to start trying?

Question

I know I'm not the only woman out there who would love to have a baby, but is not trying to conceive right now.

How about you? How do you cope?

Answer

I guess I can't edit the post!

I'm not conflicted on whether or not I should have a baby now; I've chosen to NOT have one for the foreseeable future! But I still think about babies, and how cute they are, and how awesome parents we'd be. 
What I'm asking and what I want to have a discussion about is how other women in similar situations handle those feelings. Do you plan things? Get a pet? Ignore everything that reminds you of babies? Take up a new hobby?

Answer

I felt the same as you honestly. I just threw myself in to planning my life so I was ready. Focused on different courses or work. I also have two dogs so I guess they took up my time too :)

Answer

If you aren't sure you're ready then you probably aren't. You don't want to bring an innocent child into this world if you aren't in the position to give them the absolute best you can. Children aren't an accessory so don't have a child if you aren't in a good place and cant give them 110%

Answer

I just babysit for a couple days...or get a job at a daycare and you'll change your mind real quick!!! I'm in the same boat and we just got a dog. Definitely helped me out!

Answer

If you aren't in the right position yet don't try. I know it's difficult trust me I've been there. For a long time I longed for a baby to the point I was so upset all the time. But I waited till I bought my house and my car and until my job was a better one. It's vital to be financially stable and in the best position you can be as a baby is wonderful but it will bring stress, so you should have as much of your life organised as you possibly can before hand. Yes of course if it happened you would manage but I wouldn't actively try until you are financially physically and emotionally stable. Wish you all the best :)
