[quote=Anonymous]I hear you OP.  I was concerned about some of the things you mention too, though my main concern was pregnancy itself (I put off getting pregnant for 10 years because I had a phobia of pregnancy).  But I also worried about losing my youth, my interests, and my strong marriage after becoming a mom.

Anyhow, I ended up just having one child and I think with one child you can definitely maintain your old interests/hobbies, travel, have time for friendships of your own, and keep up with personal maintenance (haircuts, hair color, stylish clothes, workouts, etc.).  After my child was about 3.5 years old I started feeling like myself again since she was more independent, slept through the night, played independently occasionally, etc.  I was able to travel more (as a family), get back into a workout routine, have the time for frequent haircuts/color, get all the appointments done that I needed to, and have a social life again with friends of my own.  My daughter is now almost 5 and most of my friends have 2-3 kids and they definitely seem frazzled and exhausted all of the time.  [/quote]
