Is it normal to want a baby?

Asked by tinkpixi18 about 1 month ago, 11 answers.

Okay so I really feel like God wanted to change my mind b/c I had a scare and thought I was pregnant but I was scared at first but then I realized that It'd be fine if I was.We have a large income I sometimes work from home so I'm stay at home My mom has 9 kids with my dad and I'm the oldest so I know how to take care of babies and all I do is spend $ left and right on dumb stuff like everything the wii has to offer brand new computers cell phones/Savings account w/e I feel like I want to plan for a baby in the next 2 years instead of the next 6 like I was thinking before.I'm religious and I really belive that God wanted me to see that everything would be alright.My husband and I have been together since I was 12 and he already has a carreerat 19yrs at the postal services so we buy into really good vision/dental/healthcare. We had legal custody of my 3 and 6 month old nephews for 6 months and I'm really good with babies/kids but I still want to wait like two years.I don't party/drink/drugs/smoke or really care for a huge social life so it'd be fine.Do you think that it's wierd to want a baby in a couple years though even though you go through lots of pain?

Thanks but it's the kinda thing where I want everything ready first and to know that there's going to be everything possible that it needs that I could have for him or her.I also want to research EVERYTHING b/c if it got sick or anything I'd want to be in tune with the risks.It's not something I just want to jump on : )

I don't think so. If, that's what you want, I think nothing wrong with that. You seem to know what to do so I don't think there will be problem with what you want. Who knows, ONLY GOD. If, it's HIS WILL for you and your husband to have a baby, you will.

If you haven't already, sit down with your husband and start setting goals. Set goals for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years and 10 years.

Then decide within which goal's time frame a baby would be most appropriate. Then act accordingly.

Yeah we have because we talk a lot and I'm not embarassed or ashamed to say what I feel/want.He already has a career and we've both wanted that since he was 15.So our next goal is trying to buy a house.(Because NO ONE is going to tell me what pets I can and can't have!!) So We're in that process then comes the baby in at least 2 or more years.Just thinking about one is enough to get us excited about it.I'm not trying to put it off but I don't want to throw having a baby around like it's no big deal.B/c it's a HUGE deal!!!

Just be sure that you really want it and pray about it. You don't have to get pregnant tomorrow. Your husband plays a big role in it too. Talk to him and make the decision as a couple. There is a lot to think about. Modern medicine is wonderful and there is little danger in childbirth-so no real reason to be scared. Just research and decide on parenting practice. You sound like financially and maturity wise you're in a great place for kids.

You sound like you have it well thought out/discussed/prayed about! In our experience, my husband and I married young (21 and 22) but waited 6 years before we felt ready for a baby. We really enjoyed our independence as a childless couple and did lots of work at church, for example, that we couldn't do with young kids. We also went to the cinema a lot and ate out, together or with friends. Then, when we really wanted our first child, we knew we wouldn't resent him at all, because we'd had so much time together before he arrived!

But we also knew a few young couples of our own age who already had several children. We used to think they must regret not being able to go out like we did. But they said to us: 'When you are stuck at home with your kids, ours will have grown up and left home! We'll still be young.' So there are two ways of looking at it, and different ways seem to work for different couples.

I think that its normal to wait to have a baby in a couple of years.
Since you are married, and its alright, its really up to you so, you can have kids anytime. But, in a couple of years would probably be laright.
And, yes, you are going to have pain during pregnancy.
