Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Getting pregnant
I am in my 20's and engaged to be married. My fiance wants children eventually, but I want to be pregnant right now. Every day I think about being pregnant, get the urge to be pregnant, or hope that I am pregnant. I think some of this stems from the miscarriage I had when I was 17 and the fact that 80% of my friends have children or are pregnant. Is it normal to be this obsessed with pregnancy? Comments please, this is making me feel crazy.

Hold on a little bit!
Being so obsessed about it can be a problem, but it's common after a miscarriage. Why not take your time and get use to being married first? There are a lot of compromises to be made between you and your new husband. Marriage itself can be very stressful starting out and it can be a great expense if you don't already have a household set up. Stress can also affect your ability to get pregnant. So just relax and don't put all that emotional pressure on yourself just because all those friends have done it already. I bet some of them wish they had waited!

Now that being said, I bet you will be drinking nonalcoholic champagne at your wedding reception because you will be pregnant! Let me be the first to congratulate you! :)

Try taking it up the ass for a change, it's more fun and you won't get pregnant.
Oh, my dear. The obsession part is common for someone trying to fill a void in another area of life. Please remember, when they're here, they are wonderful, but they are here FOREVER (Lord willing). Children take more time than you would believe if your own mother told you. Stregthen your new marriage first and it will be even better for those future darlings of yours. Consider it a current sacrifice for future children you already love so much--you'd do anything for them.
Makes a lot of sense to me. Humans evolved or were created to make more humans. I would recommend not screwing up birth control on purpose because that could cause relationship issues.

If your in a stable good relationship and financialy doing good and love each other carn't you just look him square in the eyes and blag him.
Pretty much what lucilla said. Since you had that miscarriage, it's normal that you want to fill that empty space, and seeing all your friends with their kids isn't helping. But please, if you love your fiancee, wait a bit longer. He wants to be sure that he can provide for you and your future children, and marriage takes some adjustment anyway. Just relax a bit and enjoy one of the most free, relaxing times in your life before you tie the knot and add a screaming bundle or two to the mix. Trust me, children don't solve anything... they complicate matters!

Just calm down and accept that your feelings are normal, but the smartest thing you can do right now is relax and let yourself get settled in to a new life with your man.

Best of luck!
You can obsess over it, but if you plan to have a successful marriage you better work with your partner and be willing to make sacrifices. Urges/desires we all have, but if your fiance is not ready, that means you should not try to force the issue or try to convince him to meet your immediate needs. If it is meant to be and this person is the right person it will happen. There is a right time for everything, clearly it is the wrong time if your fiance stated he is not ready. Parenthood is for two, not one, if you want your child to have the best chances for a happy upbringing.
Why would you want to have children? The world already has too many people in it. How about adoption?
Don't think too much about getting pregnant because it will stress you out. Try to be relax...that way you will get the baby in no time. Having baby at young age ( under 20 ) is not good. The baby can be slow or abnormal. I know a few people that have baby at young age. The kids kinda slow and talk weird. They don't think before they talk. Obsesses with pregnancy is normal. You just love the baby too much :)
If you need any help I am available.
Yeah im that way now and im only wut almost 14 lol. But really im good at advice. Just wait a lil longer. Let ur future hubby get comfy and talk it over wit him. Its totally normal. =]]
shit fire. if you want to be pregnant that bad, he doesn't need to know it isn't his. give me a buzz and we can discuss this matter "in depth."

@ brokenx3away

let me know if you still feel that way in two years. or now, if you live in alabama.
I just had a baby, and I can totally relate to your maternal urge. It's completely normal for you to want a little one so badly. You're a woman, so being a mother is in our nature. My husband and I tried for a year, then we stopped trying and we got pregnant. Don't try, because it breaks your heart to see the blood in your underwear each passing month. Let God do the work. You'll have one soon enough.
On another note, I agree that you should get used to married life first. Settle in a bit, and then talk to your hubby about it. Stress can harm a growing fetus, so be careful!
Good luck!
Wouldn't it be nice to know what became of this gurl! I mean the original article was written 2 years ago and at that time she was engaged! I wonder if she went through with it and wonder if she ever had kids...or is even with the same guy!
Don't you want to enjoy life before you have kids? you are lacking something, maybe loneliness? You don't have to do thing because your friends do. But women were made to have kids, I read that a womans body yearns to be impregnated, to be fertilized. Get a puppy.
