I am under 30, financially ok, healthy and in a great relationship, which puts me in a good position to start trying for a baby soon. But I feel terrified of losing my 'freedom' and I don't understand why.
Noone has specifically pressured me into thinking about this but a lot of friends my age are having their first babies. I also think of my man who is a lot older than me, for his sake aswell as mine I don't want to leave it too late.
I sometimes imagine being pregnant, having babies, having a big family. I think of how much my growing family will appreciate me more than anyone else, and that makes me feel excited. But then I think of how much hard work it will be. Just getting on with it, day after day, year after year... How can I stop being lazy and selfish, and find the strength to start?
