I’m 29 and since I turned about 22 everyone and their grandfather seems to have been pestering me to have a baby. You know the nonsense “have one now before you’re too old”, “there’s never a right time. Just do it”. I got divorced 2 years ago because I married a man child out of the same pressure
anyway, I’ve met my perfect man and am on month 3 of trying. But I’ve been getting in my own head about whether 29 is too old. What if I struggle? Is 3 months normal? Everyone seems to be a first cycle unicorn. What if I regret not doing it sooner because I can’t have them?
so I’ve been reading all the threads of women with similar thoughts and moms of all ages asking “am I too old?” And “is this normal?”, and mumsnet seems to be the only sane place on the planet when it comes to parenting.
I tell you something though, when I do eventually get pregnant I’m not listening to ANYONE try to judge or pressure me. Well meaning advice and help from experienced parents? Yes please if I need it. Unwarranted comments and “shoulds”. No p*ss right off.
anyway, I just needed to thank everyone who has been there to comment on other posts of women struggling with societal pressure because it’s hard, you know?
