hi
Just be sure that you know exactly what you are getting into. True having a baby is a beautiful experience but just consider this
1. You may put on upto 30lbs during pregnancy and this weight is not easy to get rid of
2. having a baby means getting up at night for feeding, nappy changes after u've spent the day working.
3. Labour is extremely painful...tho it seems worth it once the baby is in your arms
4. Looking after a small baby leaves little or no time for anything else like socialising.
5. Most women tend to have wild mood swings during and after a few months after pregnancy ... be sure your OH has the patience to put up with it.
6. Pregnancy has its share of troubles... morning sickness, wind, swelling in the legs, cramps, etc ... tho some lucky women have none of these
7 A baby is also a big responsibility and puts a strain both on your finances and your relationship.
But it is also true that having a baby is a wonderful experience when you are truly ready for it....I can vouch for that
Hope my comments dont offend you. Just wanted to tell you what nobody told me before I fell pregnant...glad I had a baby... just wanted to make sure u'd be glad too
