Hey everyone,
I'm after some advice please, I feel like I can't talk about this to my family or friends as they wouldn't drop it afterwards 
but I need to talk it out with someone other than my partner.
Background:
I've recently turned 28 and been with my boyfriend (26) for 8 years (living together with a dog for 4). We both work full time and have managed to get some savings behind us.
I've been thinking about kids for a couple of years now, but have normally talked myself out of it due to starting a career and generally "we've got plenty of time for that" etc. My partner has also said he's only been ready in the last year.
I've always said I'd like to have a child before I'm 30, so always had starting TTC at 28 in mind as it gives time for the fact it may take a while!
However i'm a serial over-thinker, worrier and over-planner of everything, and now that magic 28 age has arrived i'm terribly nervous of the idea despite (i think) feeling ready for it (classic me!).
I know we'd be able to give parenthood a damn good go, we're nights in kind of people, we adore our dog (not the same responsibility level i know) and we're pretty damn good at sharing out everything that goes into our daily lives. My partner would also definitely be hands on as he is with everything else and our parents live nearby.
My concerns are that if we get lucky and it happens straight away will i have that "oh crap. what have we done" moment? I'm not really sure what my specific concerns are, I think its fear of the unknown and the fact it's such a big life change. However i know if we start trying at say 30, and it takes 2 years+ (or even more!) i'll be kicking myself!
Is it normal to feel like this or is it a sign we shouldn't be considering TTC yet?
Or anyone felt this way and wish they'd started sooner/later?
I think i'd rather it happened accidentally to be honest, as then it won't involve the committing to the decision of trying! 
Thanks to anyone who stuck through and read all that haha
