Why can I not keep my broodiness at bay?

I have wanted a baby ever since I got with my partner 3 years ago. We live in a 2bed house, have a car each and work hard.

I can't stop thinking about having a baby, I get jealous when I see mums and children. I have buried this craving for 3 years now, I don't think I can do it for much longer. I'm almost 21 and my partner is 22.

How will I know if I'm ready to be a mum? I'm blinded by babies, it's all I think about. All day. I work overtime so that I can put money into my baby fund.

I think I'm going mad!

aunt honesty agony auntWell if you both decide that you want children now then you can take the implant out of your arm just go to the doctor, but just remember to think about everything sensibly before you come to a desicion, goodluck.

My partner has also wanted children for a long time. I had the implant put in my arm 1year ago so that I couldn't concieve. Now I regret it!

Thankyou :)

aunt honesty agony auntOk just remember that you are still very young and that babies are really hard work, as am sure you know. I think it would be best to leave it another few years until you are a bit older, have you spoke to your partner about how he feels? And does he want children at this stage? Its something you really need to discuss with him?

It puts a lot of strain on relationships as you will be tired from lack of sleep having to get up every few hours to feed the baby and to look after him or her 24-7, your hormones will be all over the place and you will need to give up work to look after the child which could put a big financial strain on the both of you, as babies are not cheap when it comes to food clothes and nappies among the big things like cots, prams ect.

I cant tell you when and when not to have children but just make sure that its what you and your partner wants at the time, the both of you need to want to start a family.
