Question

Lately I've been super depressed.. I've been going through a lot for the last couple of years.. but I noticed everytime I was with my nephews and nieces I felt really good..

I feel like I want a kid. I am 20 years old, working and have my own place with my boyfriend.. he doesn't want a kid because he's not sure if he is ready.. I'm not sure I'm ready either but I really want this.. idk what to do.. anyone have any suggestions

Answer

Maybe try to spend more time with your family for now until you are sure. Children can be stressful and pregnancy can cause depression to worsen because of hormones (I'm going through that right now). If you ultimately feel like you're ready for a child, then I say go for it. I wouldn't have one to try to fix a problem you're having mentally though.

Answer

I'm 24 now and when I was 21 I got married.I was really sure I wanted kids and I had the biggest baby fever ever!! Until I started working in health care and I basically babysit people with mental disabilities that behave pretty much the same than a kid throwing a tantrum...needles to say that was a big Birth Control for me.Now I want to spend more time with hubby, try to travel with him so we have more memories together ( only him and I ) and then after I get to know him more and more, I'll start planning to conceive.
