there is a lot to think about when having a baby!!! you have to think about the fact that if you are not a full time worker you may not get any leave so there is a chance that you will be out a job and money!! there is the cost of having a baby, some ppl dont get a baby bonus i dont know where you are from but in Aust we get baby bonus and some ppl arent entitled to that!
there is the stess of just getting married and starting a family at the same time.
there is the cost of having a baby (now this is a big one) even before the baby is born you have to think about Dr app and ultra sounds! and buying the crib and the cothes the bath the bottles and nappies and all that stuff! its not a small thing this having a baby!

Thank you for your reply! I do work full time, but I dont' know if they allow us time off for that...so I will look into that.

I have a wonderful family and I know they would throw me a baby shower so I am thinking that I will probably get most of the things I need from my family. My aunt and uncle are done having kids now and they have a crib that they would probably give to me. I guess I forgot about all the doc appointments, but I do have good health insurance so I think we should be ok. I know that having a baby is huge and I am just very nervous and I don't want to make any mistakes. I want to be a good mom.

I am sure that you would be a good mum...every parent make mistake its only human! i know that in raising my son i have made mistakes but i also know that i am good mum to him! it is very hard to raise a family but it is the most wonderful thing in the world!!! i am the same age as you and i have to say think about the things that happen to your body being pregnant and after even when you get your bady back in shape it will never be the same!

I just keep going back and forth whether I want to start having kids right after we are married or if we should wait until we get more on our feet. He wants kids as soon as possible because we want to be young parents (he is almost 24). I really do want to have kids right away too but I'm just worried about money. I do worry about money all the time. I think once our wedding is over we will be able to start saving money. My fiance keeps saying "where there's a will there's a way," that we'll be able to work everything out. Is this true? I just think its a pretty big deal bringing a child into the world and I want it to be the right time. Am I worrying too much?
