Hi, I'm new on here and just looking for some advice.
I'm 22 and have recently been feeling ready for a baby. My fiancé and I have a little life plan in place (as I feel I cope better having a rough time frame in place, strange I know), we get married in 2 and a half years, and he says he thinks he'll be ready for children in about 4 years. But I'm feeling really ready now. My partner is the same age, and we have a house, both have really good jobs and already planning our future. I know planning a baby is a huge step, and I would never want to push him when he's not completely ready but he'll see cute baby clothes and ask if we can buy them and store them, almost like he's 'nesting' or preparing, which makes me think deep down, he is ready, he just doesn't want to admit it to himself. I've tried to talk to him about it but he just clams up (something he's always done on heavy topics). I'm worried because I didn't plan on feeling this way just yet! I should probably mention that our two close friends recently lost their 2 month old baby, and I'm not sure if I'm feeling like this because of that?
Does anyone feel the same way? Or have any advice on how I can channel these feelings? Thank you in advance!
