Obessed!
Posted: 10-04-03 17:25pm

I am 19 years old and married to a man that is 23 years old. I am in college right now and only have about 2 years left. But for some reason I wish that I could be pregnant and get paranoid about it. We are using condoms for protection though. Anytime my body does something different I always wonder "is this a sign of pregnacy!" for example I have been having a white discharge..So then I wonder...What is that from? Sorry I am so discriptive, I just don't know why I want to be pregnant so bad! I know I am young and am not ready yet~!

Eager to Have a Family

Dear eunice,

the feelings you are having are completely normal, there is nothing wrong with you at all. You are obviously very settled and happy in your relationship with your husband to be yearning for a family. Most women at some stage of their lives have the urge to produce children, it is a natural human response that ensures human existance will continue. You said you are in college at the moment and have 2 years to go, ideally if you could finish your 2 years first then you would be in a wonderful position to start a family. Do you have any pets ? Sometimes a dog or some other kind of pet can help fill the gap when you have a little time before you are able to have children. I have 3 dogs, 1 rottweiler and 2 shitzu's, the rottweiler being the quieter of the 3, but they are all beautiful and kept me contented until I was able to have more children. Just don't forget about them once you do have children, dogs still need attention and excercise aswell even once bubby is born.

Good luck,

.::suzy::.

I definately experienced the same feelings before becoming pregnant with my son. It was so bad that I even cried when I was around other babies. What I told myself was that school is something you can always do and pregnancy is not. The most important thing to remember is that your husband has to be in agreement. Having a baby is a huge step in a marriage and you should both be on board.

If your husband says it's ok, then do it. I'm still in school and it isn't any harder on me with a child. In fact, I find it easier.

Good luck

:d I was thinking a lot last night (because for one I had a little insominia because my husband was gone hunting last night) and I was thinking that I really do want to finish my education and become a nurse before having a baby. I think that the idea that I could have a family because I am married and we are both very responsible is just so tempting. I guess what I think is that I will wait 5 years like we both had planned ( he really doesn't want one right now). So I guess you cant perfectly time when you will have a baby but I guess it is in god's hands and I know when he wants me to have he will make it happen he he!~ sincerely eunice

Sounds like plan eunice.. You sound like you've got your head on your shoulders. Think of how much more oppertunities you just gave to your future child/children. Besides in two year's you'll be 21/22. That's still plenty young enough to have a child. Even if you work a couple/few years.. That only makes you 23-26. Still very young and very able to have children.

After getting married, having a baby does seem like the logical next step. I think sometimes you just have to remind yourself why you were deciding to wait to begin with. If you finish school first, that's just one less thing you'll have to worry about after your baby's born. And you're right, god will let you know when the 'right time' is.

Good luck
