Crying over other people's baby photos??

I think I'm going through a very hormonal emotional phase. I just saw a very cute baby photo on Facebook (not even anyone I know) and just cried! I would love to have a baby but DP just doesn't feel ready to expand our family right now because of uncertainties in our life right now. Despite the fact that I would love to have a child and think DSD would make an amazing bug sister, I agree with him - I'm starting a new job soon plus hoping to go back to university next September so want to at least get settled in the job / find out if I've got a uni place etc.

Anyone else in a similar situation? Is this normal? AIBU and totally ridiculous to cry over this?

I've not seen either of those two programmes. Glad I'm not the only one though!

So it's okay for him to have a dd but you desperately want one and he says no? Been there done that.

I don't think it's like that at all. I don't think having a DD from his previous marriage means he should want another one right this second. We both agree that it's better for me to be settled in my new job / knowing what's going to happen with university (and therefore our finances) before adding anyone else to our family.

How old are you, OP? Please don't leave it too late, the Infertility boards are full over women in their mid to late thirties who are struggling to conceive and wish they'd started trying earlier.

@HavelockVetinari I'm 27. If I get into uni we won't be leaving it until I graduate, we'd plan to start TTC in my second year (so almost 2 years from now) to try and balance not leaving it too late whilst minimising childcare costs while I'm studying.

Well your plan seems sensible and it’s not such a long wait.
