Just want to be pregnant!

[snackmonster]

Hi all
I have always wanted to have a baby since I was about 12 years old 😂 I'm 25 now and it's definitely not the right time (I'm still studying and earn pennies because I'm part time working), it could potentially happen for me in a year or so, but I feel so consumed by the need to be pregnant and have my own child! It's really frustrating and I put pressure on my boyfriend because of it. I also feel jealous of other people who get pregnant, even if they are older than me and in better positions financially, which I know is unreasonable and silly of me. Has anyone else had feelings like this?

Not me but my BBF. She's slightly older and found it very difficult when I got married and fell pregnant on my wedding night. Obviously was happy for us but also difficult for her as she's no where near that stage but wants it desperately. I suggested to her, rather than focusing on not being pregnant, try focusing on getting yourself ready to be pregnant and preparing your finances and things like that. That way your not rushing into it before you're actually ready but also don't feel like you're not going anywhere. Hope that helps! And good luck!

Hi @Mommabear20, yeah I do definitely try to 'prepare' for having a baby already - always looking to save money and plan ahead! I think sometimes this is a good and bad thing. Wish I could let go and enjoy my 20s like so many of my friends!

@snackmonster I was exactly like this, ive always wanted a family from when I was little. The last few years I was really broody when my nephews were born. I just wanted one of my own, and to be a mummy, it was all I thought about. Like you though I knew it wasn't the right time, we were planning big holidays, got engaged, bought a house and then got married last year.
I am 27 now and happy to say I am now 27 weeks pregnant!!
I am so glad we waited and did the big things that we wanted to do first, we have no regrets and no feelings of "i wish we had done that first".
I know its hard when its all you think about but you are doing the right thing in waiting for a better position for you and your partner.
Hang in there! It will happen for you!
