how do you know.....

when you are ready to have children??

Re: how do you know.....

I think you just 'know"
I know that is how it was with me.. I just knew I was ready for my life to change and add from 2 of us to one more!

Re: how do you know.....

I don't think you ever know for sure. Like many things its a leap of faith. I think there is a part of me that is very ready for parenthood and I think there is another part that has no idea what is going on....

For me, I felt we were in a good place financially and emotionally. We sold our old house and moved into a new one to be closer to family for our children. We have also been married 3 years (and together for 8) so I felt like we had a good amount of time just the two of us to enjoy to be ready to redirect our focus from ourselves to our child.

Now that I am pregnant, I am very excited but I will admit that I am also very nervous.

Re: how do you know.....

I think its one of the things you just know... you will never be 100% ready but something just feels right.

Re: how do you know.....

i think you just know and you do have the 9 months to prepare. I am at the tale end..37 weeks i am getting nervous now but am totally excited also.
