How did you know it was time to have a baby?

[rivermom]

For some really odd and possibly some would say stupid reason, I decided to begin my family when I was 16. That was forever ago it seems. It all just continued thereafter.

I guess you will know when the time is right or then again it might just be...SURPRISE, lol.

I just felt it was "now or never" i didnt want to be an older mom, so we had our son when i was 26. At 23 i was told that i could possibly never have any kids, due to some issues i had, 3 years later our son was born

We "just knew" after we were married about 7 years. Then we tried and tried and nothing. I had endometriosis really bad and went through so much fertiltiy crap and still nothing. We tried invitro and fertility drugs..

I remember we tried to adopt a baby and the bio mother decided to keep it. We were so heartbroken and I went to my mothers and layed my head on her lap and just cried. She said something about God and I looked her in the eye and told her never to mention God to me ever again. I was so angry. The next day I got a call at work from our lawyer and said our son was born (we had talked with another bio mother. also). I was so excited. I went home to our bedroom and apologized to God for what I said to my mother and I promised him to teach my son God's word. I didn't break that promise. We have a lovely church and church family.

I too started my family when I was 16, mine was an oops. Wouldnt change any of it though. I think you just have to listen to your heart if you rationalize it to peices it will never be the right time.

Ok, so here's my story

My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years and 2 months now.. and just about the same time last year.. we started talking about having babies and marriage.. since at the time we both had a steady job

we are both nurses.. and so it was actually it was perfect.. so we were trying for a couple of months.. and well i didn't think it was working.. so i figured maybe its not time yet..

and sure enough i was already pregnant and didnt know it.. and now we've been blessed with a beautiful baby girl
