Im a 22 y/o woman and for the past two years Ive been feeling a strong urge to have a baby. I want to be a mother and buy cute clothes and go out for icecream and take him/her to toystores and petstores and parks. And take care of em and give them everything theyve ever wanted.This only started happening 2 years ago. I had never had this feeling before. I always had said im waiting to im at least 30 for that, but now i cant wait. I have a bf but its not serious. is it normal to feel this way when your not married or in serious relationship?

    If you really feel like your ready and you have enough money to take care of the baby why not. Me and my fiance are 17 and 19 and we are having a baby girl. It wasn't planned, but now we are closer than ever and so happy it did happen.

    It sounds like your biological clock has started ticking a bit early, but it's completely normal. This happens when your hormones (namely estrogen and oxytocin) reach a certain level; your body sends signals to your brain that it's ready and it needs to have a baby soon.
    Of course, if you're 22, not in a relationship and aren't in a stable enough position, it's not a good idea, but your body doesn't know that.
    There are certain medications that can help regulate the 'baby making' hormones if you feel you can't handle it on your own.

    You need to wait. A child needs lots of money, time, security, etc. If you haven't gone to college yet you should now. In terms of your boyfriend, you need to think of legality. It's not "serious", eh? Well, if you had the baby he could always walk out on the two of you or not pay his child support.

    Now let's look at this from a more "Scientific view". There are about 7 billion+ humans on planet earth. The birth rate exceeds the death rate. Our little earth is running out of room, it's being torn limb from limb and it's all us humans fault. If you want a kid, why not consider adoption? The adoption agencies usually have a list of goals that you have to accomplish before you can adopt. Those goals should put you on a "realistic" track.

    Yes, it's normal. Most women have a biological urge to have children. I'd recommend that you wait until you are married or have a stable and steady relationship and are in decent financial standing so that when you have the baby, you can enjoy it much more easily with the peace of mind that having a baby in a stable, supportive environment comes with.

    Waiting until you have a stable living situation is the best course of action, at 22 you still have plenty of time left for children.

    yeah, it normal to feel that, but logically you cant force it. that does no good for you or your future child if you not prepared financially and have a father that can also help support the 3 of you
