How do I grt rid of "baby fever"?

Question

My husband and I were married a year ago. I am 25, he is 29. We have both agreed that we would like to wait to have children for a couple more years and I know this would be best for us and our future children, but I have baby fever SO bad. How do I get rid of it. Seeing and caring for friends babies only makes it worse.

Answer 1

Have one!  Seriously what are you waiting for?  There will never be a perfect time.

Answer 2

From the friends that have babies, take one for a full two weeks day and night.  That will cure the baby fever.

Answer 3

Maybe offer to look after your friends baby an evening for her while she has a night out with her partner.  Experiencing  that they are hard work, and not just cute and cuddly will give you second thoughts and cool your fever.

Besides if you were to start trying now and fall pregnant you have a wee wait before littlelun arrives, so there is something to prepare you for it.  Babies don't happen overnight, they take nine months...

Answer 4

well, 'a couple' years more can mean 2 or more, so this question is difficult. if you are not working full time, maybe you could get a job in a day care center. they can always use mom type gals. if you do have a full time job, you could always volunteer in a hospital, in the maternity wing. putting yourself around children when you want them shouldn't make it worse, it should make you want to learn and experience all you can before you have your own. let go of the negative feelings, focus your thoughts and energies on the positives. working with babies is so fun, but it is also a huge responsibility. make up some kind of list of things you want to learn, questions you have, etc. try to fulfill this list before you have your baby. the list can be updated constantly, as rearing children is an ongoing education thing. so enjoy being with these babies, and be the best mom you can be when the time comes.

Answer 5

Please do NOT wait too long!!!! You are at about the "right age" to have a family. When the kids are 18 you will begetting close to 50!!! That is something to think about.

Answer 6

If you have friends who have babies

you could offer the watch them.
