Holy Baby Fever

Ok, we both said we wanted to wait until we get a place of our own (which I'm sticking to!!). That should happen in March/April. Well ever since I went to the hospital for Dave's surgery (testicular cyst removal, so impossible for baby now ) and saw all the new babies being born, how happy, my friends pregnancy, baby showers, I'm suddenly finding myself wanting to get preggos soon. I plan on getting preggos beginning of 2008, but not sure if I can wait that long. I really really want to wait. I'm still young (26). Anyone else feel like this?

Re: Holy Baby Fever

yes yes and yes.

My DH and I decided we were going to start TTC in March....the reason being is that we have a lot going on between now and the end of the year and I am currently working with a nutritionist trying to lose a few lbs and really get in shape.

My gyno said the best thing I can do is exercise now because when you are pregnant, you can do whatever you have been doing before you get pregnant (but he said starting to exercise 2 weeks before doesn't count!)

But I would LOVE to start trying now, but I just keep thinking March will be here before I know it and knowing that I have taken the extra steps to get myself ready physically and mentally I hope will help me have a happy and healthy pregnancy!

There is a girl I work with who is pregnant and I am so jealous in a good way - she wasn't trying so it was a surprise, but she is thrilled and I just look at her everyday and say - I WANT THAT TO BE ME!!! haha

Re: Holy Baby Fever

OMG!!!!!! Can we start a support group? I am burning with the baby fever. I am 24 and I always said I wanted to start at 27 but I just can't wait that long! I know by then we''ll have a house since right now we are in a one bedroom condo
Uhh...it is sooooo depressing to think that I have to wait that long. I know DH wants to wait til we get a house, but then again, he'd wait 10 years if he could
He wants kids but it is a hard thing for him to wrap his hands around. We've been married almost 6 months and he still can't even believe that!!

I just came to the conclusion that I probably did not help you one bit, in fact...I think I might have made things worse!

Re: Holy Baby Fever

That's how I am too. We were going to wait until late next year (I'll be the big 30 then), but the baby bug has hit big time. DH and I spoke about it this weekend, he didn't realize I was really serious. At the same time, I want to wait till we're married a year and go on a few more trips. Reading what some other people say on these boards- plans are made to be broken and we can't always plan everything, including how we feel.

Re: Holy Baby Fever

ME!!!! DH & I both agreed that we would TTC in July. Now all of a sudden, I am so ready to be a mommy! DH is excited to but can't believe we are ready to take this next step. We have our house already, so it seems this is only natural.

After speaking about it, we have still decided to actively start TTC after our 1 year anniversary. I want to spend this first year of marriage getting things in order in our home. We are hoping to have our new edition by our 2 year anniversary

I think it is just something that happens naturally!!!! We are both still young too (27)
