When will you know you're prepared to have kids?

It is funny when a couple get married and soon afterwards they are asked when they will have kids. In their own time I think the answer is. If they have one child someone asks if a second baby will follow soon. Having kids is a great experience and it is best to do this when a couple feel ready. A man might be doing well in his career and a lady might have completed all her qualifications and they have got a home to live in. If a lady marries late stay at 37 years old she might think she must try to get pregnant straight away. There is a ready time for people and a cut off time biologically for a lady. I hope that you will feel ready to have kids when it suits you.

According to me, no body knows when they are ready to have baby. In my case, I was 24 when I got pregnant and we didn't even bothered whether we are ready for kids or not. On top of all that, I delivered twins which is another added responsibility. Now they are 5 and we were kinda stressed out for the first 3 years and now we are enjoying their activiites

when you are holding your baby in your arms and all you can do is cry and smile because you are so happy. that is when you will know you are ready.

I don't believe that nobody really knows when there ready intell they have done it. I've always been around children growing up because I have 4 sister and 3 of them are all older than me. I loved being around them all I always said I couldn't wait tell I had my own. Me and my boyfriend had been living together at his parents house then we got our own place a couple months later I found out I was pregnant with our first daughter. It didn't really hit that I was having a baby intell I was about 7 months pregnant. Even though we seen pictures of her in my belly and we went to all of appointments. Of course I also hadn't found out I was pregnant tell I was about 3 months pregnant. It kinda took me caught me off guard. A month and 2 days after my 19th birthday I gave birth to my first daughter. It was amazing, scary, happy, and so many other feelings in one. About 2 and half years later I was pregnant again with my second little girl. Even thought that one I had planned on getting pregnant with the closer I got to having her the scary it got too me. I wasn't sure if i'd be able handle taking care of both of them. Exspecialy because I new my oldest was already a hand full for me. But me being so scared stopped after I gave birth to youngest. If I had to do it all over again I would in a heart beat. I'm not just telling you how scared I was to make you scared but you're never ready and intell you do no matter how much you plan for it. I hope this helps some. Happy Mylotting!!!!

You are never fully prepared for having kids nor raising them. I don't know anyone that is perfectly prepared. One can have college money set aside or have all the baby "things" they'll need but dealing with day to day drama is more frustraiting and at the same time rewarding than I ever imagined. I would say though base it depending on your ages and your goals in life to decide when you want to try to start a family. Some start when they are in their 20's others start in their 30's when they are a bit more established and it's not uncommon for a 40 something to have their first baby now days though it's considered high risk.
