I bet this question arises many times. Your partner might feel ready to take this step but are you? Or who knows, maybe is the other way around. I’ve been married for almost five years now. My husband asked me this plenty of times;

When are we having a baby?

To tell you the truth a woman can feel pressured into this sometimes. I felt that way a lot. I’m aware that we have to take our husband’s feelings into consideration, or at least that what I’ve been told..lol. But really, this step in our lives might not be the best at the time, we might want to accomplish much more before taking this leap.

I finally agreed about a year after, I really wanted to have a baby so it wasn’t that hard for me to come to this decision. I don’t regret that decision at all. It really is worth it. So before you make up you mind about this, make sure you are really sure you are willing and able to take this on. Motherhood is really hard at times, and challenging..but rewarding. (I’m not trying to scare anybody here..lol) but it’s true. You have to accept the many sleepless nights, a crying baby when you least want it, or need it. You’ll start looking like a zombie in no time! Yeah I know maybe I’m exaggerating, there are lucky moms like myself that had it pretty easy. Just keep in mind that you’ll never know what you’ll get. Babies are not all cute, smiley, good smelling all the time. If you have a baby just because you felt pressured, you might not be totally ready when the baby comes, and just feel anger and resentment towards your partner, and maybe even the baby.
