Is it normal to want to have a baby now?

I think it's normal to have those feelings. Take it from someone who had a child at 19 and is now 32. I had similar feelings before having my son and though I'd have it no other way, it's not for the faint of heart. I can't compare my situation to yours, but I know that if you don't have the proper foundation that will guarantee you and your child's security, you will be breaking your back to keep you and your baby above water. Or you'll settle for the kid's father or some other bloke who you may end up resenting down the road because you had little choice. You may have been together for 3 years now..maybe you're bored and want to take it to the next level. Again, that's normal. Your twenties are for self exploration and if you feel the need to care for another human being, become a nanny. Look at other ways to channel that momma energy into something less risky..like creating art, writing, etc.
No physiological desire or pressure could ever be more important than a child having a good and fair chance at having a good life. You know that proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child"? It couldn't be more true. Good luck.

it's normal for a woman to want to have a child. Heck, so do I and i'm only 18. Idk the reason why but i reckon it's normal coz some of my friends want a child too

I don't know if I or other posters misunderstood your question, but this is something that's been going through my head for a while now. I, like you, am not in a position to have a baby, but for some reason my hormones have been going mental every time my period is due. In fact, the craziness starts before that, because I know when I'm due on I start hoping that my period doesn't come; that this is the time that I have managed to conceive despite the contraceptive barriers in place - and these thoughts start almost as soon as one period is finished, building up to a frenzy by the time my next period arrives. In fact, it feels like the only mental peace I have is during my period, when I know for a fact that I am not pregnant and not likely to be any time soon.
It's become a lot worse since I had my IUD removed (I'd had it in for too long), and now it's almost as if I was waiting to at least FEEL like I had the opportunity to be pregnant to let all these crazy feelings go (I used to have them when the IUD was in place, but not nearly as strong).
The worst thing is, if I'm rational about it, a baby does not fit into my plans at all. I'm saving money to go to Australia next year for a friend's wedding, and I'm really looking forward to it. After that, I would like to travel the world a little, because I've never been able to (I'm 27, and I've never settled anywhere until a few years ago, so am enjoying having a good job and enough money to live in a nice house outside of my home country and save to see the rest of the world). I know that if I were to have a baby now, I would miss out on so much that I really want to do - I'm currently compiling a list of friends to visit during my round-the-world tour, which I'll start saving for as soon as I return from Australia). However, this doesn't stop me going crazy every month.

All I can suggest is to fight the feelings for now, because the world has a lot to offer. At least finish college and get yourself in a good job for at least a year so you have decent maternity benefits.

I know it's not easy to fight these urges, but make sure you're obeying your head, not your uterus, on this one, and GOOD LUCK!

Ok...I'm not against having babies. But...you are only 20. Chances are you will be prego on your 21st bday. Next, if you do not have the money I wouldn't. Babies are REALLY expensive. Your world will do a 180 and you will have to be home with the baby constantly. IMO I would wait. The economy should be picking up soon. I would make sure that you and him are both 100% ready to have a child. They are alot of work. You wanna be able to have a planned baby with no regrets. Warning! Babies are exensjve!!!! I hope this helped. Goodluck!

It is totally normal. The majority of women have/want a child a some point. It's the way the human life cycle works. Maybe get a little more organised first, and if you feel you're ready - go for it. But be aware (even though they are so adorable) of how much of your time and money they take up and if you're prepared to give that up for them.

Yeah. Oh I'm taking my pill. I'm just tired of freaking out every month, thinking about it all the time. I gets time consuming and annoying. It doesn't help that I am surrounded by pregnant people at work, either. Due Dec, Feb, and March.

I think you should first finish college, and then get married and then have a baby, but only for sure if you know your partner is ready for a baby too. It is no fun being a single mother, trust me I would know. Even though it's a beautiful thing that you would have your baby and you would love him and he would love you, it is still very hard especially in these economically challenged times. BE PREPARED! You want your children to have a future, don't you?

I have been married for over 2years and no issue(baby) to show for it, I and my husband have gone to different places for help for me to get pregnant, but all our efforts where fruitless. My husband became tired of me and started accusing me of the cause of our problem. I tried to make him believe that I don't know why I cannot get pregnant. But as a man he pays deaf ears to my words. It came to a time when he gave me an ultimatum to leave his house. I became more crazy and restless. I search for help including where there is no help. My husband finally sent me packing after 5years of our marriage. when I was in my parents? house I was still searching for a solution until I met an old friend whom gave me the contact of this spell caster Dr Eziza, she said he saved her marriage too. I contacted him for help. He told me that it is never too late that I will need two spell in one. Which means an ex back spell and a fertility spell. He actually cast a spell for me after 48hours of his spell; my husband came to my parents? house looking for me. We got back together again. That made me so happy. Still with his fertility spell, I became pregnant after 2months of his spell. What a powerful man. I am the happiest person on earth. If you need any help, I recommend this great man to you, I am so sure he will help you the way he helped me [email protected] Tel: +2347054206121 and you can also contact him on facebook with https://www.facebook.com/eziza.shrine

It's normal. But you both need to discuss it carefully, some couples make it work and others don't. At 18 we stopped using birth control, with the thought that- 'if it happens, it happens!' well it did happen, and when it did we both shat ourselves. I can't believe how ignorant we were. I wish we had waited, neither of us are mature or ready. At 7 months pregnant I'm just thinking about all of the opportunities I'll miss out on and the fact that this is a commitment for the next 18 or so years. It weighs heavily on you when you're so young.

Wrong category

i think it's normal for a woman at your age to want a baby. So is the conflict you're having these days. You must decide. There si no in between here.

There is an old saying that goes; "you can't have your cake and eat it too!!"

Everyone's biological clock has different times of coming into action. But I think you should wait until you know you are financially secure and have enough time to raise a child, before you have one. Despite the fact you really want a baby, you need to think about the stress it'll put on you and how hard it'll be if you're not prepared for it.

I would say this is a pretty normal desire. I started feeling this around my 22nd birthday, but it's something that has to be kept in check. If you can't raise the child right now, you wouldn't be doing anyone a favor by having one at this time. It wouldn't be good for the child, it wouldn't be good for you, and it wouldn't be good for those who would help support you (parents, etc). If you two do decide to have a child in the future, that's great. Just don't do what my friend's wife did and silently quit taking the pill. Hello child. Hello dysfunction and foreclosure. Not fun.

You do not ovulate if ur on birth control... That's what makes it birth contol

Who wouldn't want to have a baby? I'm fourteen and I really want one!
