depressed - need hugs
had dinner with my folks tonite. of course the subject came up where my mom basically told me how her friends are all asking my "status" they know i'm 35, newly married and want a child. it would be their first grandchild and they are not in the best of health (either one of them). i can't tell them how hard this is for me because it would only make them sad. I SO badly want to make them grandparents. They are wonderful and it would break my heart more if they didnt' get to experience that. I feel like a failure. EVERYONE around them AND us is reproducing except for us. 
ETA: I am 35 and their oldest. Big age difference betweem siblings and I...its not because i want to keep up with the "joneses" its that i want this so much and don't want to tell them i'm trying AND i don't want our (hopefully kids) to be denied the joy of grandparents. My grandparents enriched my life so much.

Re: depressed - need hugs
Don't beat yourself up and get stressed.
My sister is younger than me and got PG before I got married. I was divorced from a previous with no kids. It just happened for me later in life.
I know it's easier said than done. Just know that you cannot please everyone on their personal timeframe. Maybe you could explain to your mom so she would not pressure you too much.

I agree with the pp who said that sharing it with your parents would be a good thing. I wish you much luck.

Re: depressed - need hugs
I was the first girl in my family to go to college and not have a child by the age of 19. I was getting the pressure too. After a while, I stopped listening.
