Baby fever

[Kaylamc]

Hi all
I wanted to get advice from others that are or have experienced baby fever 🤒

I always thought Baby fever to be a myth how naive i was, the longing and overwhelming urge to have a baby is consuming, every minute of ever day for the last 2 years, honestly sometimes I feel like I am losing my marbles.

I am 31 and my DH is 35 who is amazing, we both home owners, financially stable and both want children. He said come off the pill and lets see what happens but the mind blowing thing is I can not seem to bring myself to stop my contraception.

I scared, im worried it will change our relationship like it did for my parents, in short they are no longer together and their relationship ending, badly.

I don't want that happening to us, just in case we might not be ready just yet and I don't want my hormones to control us, my husband bless him would do anything to make me happy, as he has seen me get really down hearing about other people pregnancies.

But how much longer do we leave it? I'm turning 32 soon, is the fear normal??

Thx in advance for your help, sorry for the vent.

I felt very similar. I'm also 32 and DP is a little younger. I desperately want a baby but part of me feels DP and I haven't had long enough together as a couple and I feel like there's more we need to do before starting a family. I don't know what these things are but just a niggling feeling. I also worry that having a baby will put pressure on us and eventually we'll split up. I don't know why i think like this. We've been together 3 years, have just bought our first house together and are soo happy. Having a baby would be the next step! Being early 30s too I feel the body clock is ticking!

I came off the pill in January (for mental health reasons not TTC) Although we have unprotected sex regularly it hasn't happened yet. In a way I'm glad I came off the pill as in the next few months if we do start trying properly, at least my cycles getting back to normal. If it happens sooner then I think we'll both still be happy. I'm a firm believer what what's meant to be will be.
