Hi all, sorry to be posting here (as I don't have kids) but I'm not sure where else to turn.
I'm 22 and have just graduated from uni, where I met my boyfriend, and am about to start a one-year masters course. Both my partner and I are ready to move in and start a family, the only problem is that we both live with our parents and are an hour and a half drive away (although we plan to live near my family). We have a plan and a general idea of when things will happen, having taken finances, saving, and education into account, and plan to live together within 2 years.
Getting to the point, I am severely broody and don't know what to do. Seeing a baby makes me so emotional, I feel empty and alone. I'm struggling to get through some days and recently have been breaking down in tears daily. I have some friends from school that didn't attend uni that have now moved in with partners and are engaged which only makes things worse; I don't regret going to uni but I see how it has made my financial situation take a back seat.
I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to cope with these feelings until our situation allows us to start our family.
Love and thanks
