Normal feelings starting out?

Flipflop453Flipflop453 Junior Member Junior Member
I'm not sure where to start. I'm 31 and will be 32 in October. I don't have any children but always dreamt of having kids someday. I often feel like I'm running out of time and need to make a decision quick, like if I don't do it now, I probably won't do it at all. If I decide to go through with it, I'd like to start in November- December. However I'm worried if this is the right time and if it's the right step for me. Is this normal feelings? or am I overthinking it? I do tend to over analyze and write a pro/con list to make a big decisions.

Thank you in advance!

    Very normal. It’s a big decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. As far as timing goes that is tough. You’re still young enough to meet someone. But speaking as a single mom who waited till 40, I really wish I hadn’t. I had an easy pregnancy but had a really hard time conceiving and recovering has been hard. Not to mention how I’ve been called grandma since my daughter was an infant and I look younger than I am.

    Good luck with a decision. The conception process can be very trying. I just recommend that once you make a decision, make sure you are all in.

    Ok good! Timing is tough, I don't want to wait too much longer but don't want to rush into something either. Like you said it is a big decision. Thank you for your feedback!

    I waited until I was 38 to start. It took me 13 rounds and my daughter was born when I was 41. I wish I had started sooner. But it is the best thing that I ever did. My daughter is now 5.5yo and my true joy in life
