Is it normal that every month when I get my period, I get upset because I'm not pregnant?
My boyfriend and I aren't trying to have a baby. He's not exactly ready for one, but he wouldn't be devastated about one.
On the other hand, I want to have a baby so bad. I want nothing more than to be a mother. I don't want to tell my boyfriend because I know he wants to wait to have kids. But every month I always think maybe something slipped in and an "accident" could've happened. But then when my period comes I get all sad.
I feel like this whole story sounds stupid. I just want to start a family!

    "He's not exactly ready for one... ...I want to have a baby so bad."

    Both partners should be ready for a baby, before the baby-making ensues. If you do this without your boyfriend's knowledge you are stealing the choice away from him and that's just wrong... And pretty selfish too.

    That's not right, if you want kids and he doesn't then you two need to talk about it. Don't try to get preggo when you know he wants to wait, that's not fair to him

    I'm not going to lecture you on selfishness and the like because that goes without saying. I will say that most sad stories I have heard that involves a woman becoming a single Mother starts with a boyfriend that wasn't ready for kids. You want to be a Mother but the first thing about Motherhood is putting your children's needs before your own - even before they're here. So wait until you're both ready, it will be in everyone's best interest.

    That said, I understand. Sometimes it gets me down but I'm not ready for children yet. My husband is, I'm not. Speaking from the perspective of someone who ISN'T ready, like your boyfriend, while I wouldn't be devastated, the adjustment and the process will be hell if I have a kid now. Parenthood is much more enjoyable when it's wanted and anticipated.

    I understand your desire to have a baby. I felt that strong desire 4 years ago. It's best to not push your boyfriend into this if he's not ready for a baby yet. Just wait. My ex told me that he didn't ever want kids but he ended up getting me pregnant because he didn't realize that for the pull out method to work you have to actually pull out. He tried to put all the blame on me, saying that I should've stopped him and pushed him off of me. He resented me for ending up pregnant and still resents me to this day, although I am no longer with him. I love my daughter but sometimes I really regret that I had a kid with a man who doesn't like and never wanted a kid.
