Is there actually that time when you feel "prepared" to start TTC?

Question

I'm ready one day when I'm in a good mood and feelin' confident. But if I'm in a bad mood or having a rough day or got a BFN I feel doubtful that I'm ready or prepared or going to be a good mom.

I've heard you're never really prepared - the best you can be is happy, healthy and financially stable. My relationship is very strong and I am 100% confident in my spouses abilities to be a father. And he is so excited.

Is it me? Am I just psyching myself out? I know I want this but there's always that voice that speaks up in the back of my head that says "what about this, what if this happens"....

Answer

I really believe you'll never be 100% ready. How could you possibly be prepared for something you haven't experienced and don't really know how to handle?

Answer

Nope. I am ttc #3 and have all the same worries as with the first two.

Answer

I said no, because you asked if you're physcing yourself out. I doubt anyone can be 100% prepared for their first child.

Answer

I don't think you're ever fully ready! I have a 7 year old step daughter and some days I'm want a baby SO bad, when we have rough days I'm like OMG why do we want another one? Lol not to mention our two, 3 year old nephews! Haha! Sometimes it's good to hang around them when I have really bad baby fever. They calm it!! Lol
