Q: Should We Try Or Not?

asked by: nikki_caro on November 12th, 2003

To get pregnant? Or to not get pregnant? That is the question. :p
ive been thinking and lately I want a baby of my own. I see all kinds of babies and I want to be pregnant and raise a little one. But then I start thinking and ill be broke if I do. How will I have money for the time off of work? Who will babysit? Id have to pay my sister or a nanny. All the baby things are expensive. Oh no scratch that, I have everything! From the tub to the crib to the clothes from my sis. Which ill give her 300 for everything. Because she'll just give it to me. Then I want to breast feed, so ill need to pump forever. Then I can never go out like on my dates or go out to eat or sleep in...Ever. But then I want a baby to raise and be closer to jose with. And show everone my little bundle of joy! I want a baby shower and baby things. I want an ultra sound and I want my baby to say mommy and papi. I dont know, im stuck!!! I like how I am right now with neices, but I want my own too!!!
Any suggestions on what I should do?! Jose is 26 and he doesnt want to be 30 by the time we have a baby either. He wants to be a "young dad" me and jose are already having sex with no condom or patch so im thinking before its too late, should I or not? I trust your opinions because I really only talk to you. I talk to you more that anyone I know!! Lol. So please let me know!

Lol, thanks jen. But I cant apply for wic, or medi-cal, or anything like that because I make too much money. I would get denied and they would probably laugh at me for even trying! I have my own medical plan but adding a baby might raise my cost on it. Thanks though. My financial and sleeping side says "no!, wait a while" but my heart says I want a baby to give my neices a cousin. And I really want a boy! I need a grandkid so my mom can watch it for me while shes still young! Lol I only make about $1400-1500 a month and with rent and bills, I could be broke forever! And gas is expensive out here! Then I dont have patience for crying. It stresses me and I just go get ice cream! Lol, but no, I want a baby. I think I will! Thanks jen!

Nikki,
if having a baby is what you and jose want, then I hope you have it! Girl, how exciting!! I'm getting married in 7 months and my fiance and I sooooooo want kids. But we decided we won't plan on having a baby for a few years so we can get used to married life and try to get financially stable (ha). Still both of us would be overjoyed if we were to get a surprise sooner than we planned. All you girls talking about having babies is going to make me itchy for one of my own! Just kidding!

I hope nikki and everyone else on this forum has healthy and happy babies. Best wishes to all of you.

I'm almost 3 months. I can't wait until my second trimester! I really want to enjoy being pregnant but i've been so sick that it's hard to enjoy it! Well I wish you and jose the best of luck! Keep me posted on what's happening. You know you can do the temperature chart also (i'm not sure how you do it) but i'm sure you can find something on the web about it. That's how my mom concieved me! It's also cheaper than buying those ovulation kits.

Best wishes,
angie
