Am I running out of time?

[pastypam]

Hello,
I turn 30 this year, and I am yet to become a parent. I'm married, with a mortgage. All my friends have had babys or are on their second, I feel like almost everyone my school age has gone on to become mums or dads. And I do want a child, but I'm not itching to get pregnant or feel in a rush? Am I weird?? Am i running out of time.... I feel like I'm constantly being judged about it. It plays on my mind and makes me feel almost sad every day ..

From the title I thought you'd be in your 40s. At 30 you have plenty of time. I would say don't leave it too late. I had mine at 35 and 38. It was much harder to conceive the second time and I had a couple of early miscarriages. I do wish I'd had them earlier for a couple of reasons. It's not much fun being perimenopausal, tired and grumpy with a daughter who's just started puberty! I wish my parents had had more time with the children - obviously I would also have had more time with them too if I'd started earlier.
