[quote=Anonymous]We started talking about maybe trying to have a baby when I was 31, and was in no way emotionally (or even financially) ready to actually have a kid. We thought about it, talked about it, and squirreled away money for nearly two years before I was ready to start trying. It took us nearly ten months to get pregnant – including a few months over the summer where my period just *poof!* disappeared. It took that scare for me to realize I actually did want to have a baby. Even though we were trying, I was still so terrified of the idea of being pregnant, and felt like there was still so many things I wanted to do and see and explore! Now 34 and baby's due in November. I feel emotionally, financially, and even life-ready. It was a long journey to get here, and I'm SO glad it happened the way it did.

So yeah. Don't expect anything, and just roll with it. There really is NEVER a perfect time to have a baby, and time you thought might be inconvenient because of external forces might actually end up to be the best time. Good luck, and don't stress too much about what other people say. Others' stories are great to hear, but yours is yours alone.[/quote]
