I admit I lurk......Chat Icon
But we are really unsure about children; I'm torn.




I went through this for a while too! Then it was weird, and I totally had a change of heart. You will figure out what is best for you, Chat Icon

Re: The official thinking about TTC thread

DH doesn't feel he's ready *right now* but thinks he'll be ready by October. Chat Icon Hmmm, I'm just not gonna tell him since he said he'd love it if it just happened and he didn't have to plan it...he worries too much about my health and the babies and doesn't want to know.

So I won't tell him. But I'm officially starting!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Chat Icon I might be joining you with this in a few months. Every time I think I'm "almost" there, I think "maybe in a few months, maybe in 6 months". DH is all about "let's talk about it next year".

Wow, I have/had these same feelings.

I look at babies and awww how cute and wonder how mine would look like, thinking of all cute little things for a baby, etc.

But then I think how once the baby is born - How will I know which cry is a hunger cry, change me cry, I'm tired cry -- things like that.

I know they are the "how to's" I'm worring about and that comes with experience, but I'm the type of person who likes to know how to do it beforehand. I will be the first one in my family to have a baby and my DH's side his sister had one almost 7 years ago (but his extended family has had them more recent, but not close enough for me to "practice on"- ya know Chat Icon

Re: The official thinking about TTC thread

Question - when I went for my annual check-up, I asked my MD to do bloodwork (in the event we decide to try before my next annual next summer), and she said she wouldn't do that b/c I'm healthy. W T F ? Is that normal for a MD to refuse to give you reg. bloodwork? I thought it was pretty standard pre-TTC. And honestly, how does she know I'm healthy?!

Yeah, they're cheap-o's and insurance is a b!tch now a days with approving tests. Chat Icon

I would go for a full physical and demand blood work - my gyno didn't do bloodwork during my pap either.

Re: The official thinking about TTC thread

This is a great thread! DH would welcome "a happy surprise" with open arms right now! We're waiting until Oct. to make our decision about TTC. We have to make sure that DH is still in remission and that the cancer hasn't returned. Oct. will be his 2 year mark, after which the chances of his cancer recurring significantly decrease. So if all goes well in Oct, I may just officially be in this board!

I admit I lurk......Chat Icon
But we are really unsure about children; I'm torn.



I honestly felt the same way. I was scared that I would never *WANT* kids-- I never had that feeling-- I can't wait to be a mom or have a baby-- NEVER! I started lurking here and then really all of a sudden, my feelings started to change. It will be another 2 years, or at least DEFINITELY a year before we start TTC-- but, I think lurking is the first step!

Honestly, I am scared sh!tless to be prego, especially the first tri-mester with the nausea and not being able to tell people, then forget about giving birth! OMG god help me.... I will schedule my c-section now if I could. But, I am definitely warming up to the whole idea.

I feel the same way as you! I am so scared and I go back and forth about it all of the time. I think wow right now we can go out spontaneously and not have to think about getting a baby sitter and then...I see a cute little girl on the train reading with her mom and I think...

I'm definitely freaked out by all that too - we were just talking about it toinght. Dh asked if I was really ready for it all - the baby bug hit big time, but in reality I couldn't handle any of that right now, it freaks me out. In a year from now (or less though), I hope so. Plus you have 10 mo. to prepare for everything else. The 3 people I know who just had babies have really good babies (they sleep, eat well, etc.) so I think that's tricked me too - of course now my baby will be a terror:) (well, i hope not)

Re: The official thinking about TTC thread

i'm definitely scared about my body changing, the MS, and the whole L&D itself, but lurking on the TTC & pregnancy boards have really eased my mind and fears. DH and I would like to TTC in mid-2007.
