Hi everyone!
This is my first thread and bare with me it may be in the wrong topic!
I just turned 25 yesterday and for about a year now I have been so broody, it is on and off because I always talk myself out of if and try not to think about it. Me and my DP have always said we will try once we are comfortable with money and move to N.I. (I am originally from there, moved to England 5 years ago)
That won’t happen now for probably 2 years, especially now with what’s going on ATM. I have always said I want to be living close to my mum when I have children because she is the biggest help ever! But I now I’m okay with it as I know I will move eventually.
But I can’t help but shift this feeling of time could run out? I want to have a baby well before I am 30.. I know getting pregnant is harder than it seems and it may not happen straight away or at all for me, I’m sorry if this comes across selfish, I don’t mean to upset anyone!!
but some of us always have a little dream of what we would like to happen and I would love to have a big family if it’s possible for me.
Another obstacle is my DP says he wants to do a few things first like get his own van and do it up as a camper van and use it for travelling to gigs And over Ireland (he’s a FT musician) and that’s amazing! But I don’t see how a baby stops that? Yes it’s money.. but he’s already said it won’t cost him that much to do from scratch etc. He’s 27 now and I don’t think he is grasping that it can be harder as you get in to your 30’s for a woman?
Also I feel guilty for feeling this way with what is going on atm because I know it’s hard for hospital visits and you can’t fully enjoy your pregnancy but this isn’t forever too.
How do i shift this feeling? How do you know when you are ready to have children?
