im 25 years old,my husband and i have been married for more than 2 yrs..Im so eager to have a baby but he said we are not yet ready,because we still dont have our own place and that we are not yet stable... sometimes i feel like crazy looking at babies picture and reading articles about being pregnant even im not pregnant. is it normal at my age to become obsess about having a baby?

It's normal that you want to have a baby. But i think your husband is also right. you have to be financially stable too ,because having baby needs to be financially stable. From pregnancy,regular check-ups ,the birth preparations,hospitals and everything. Then,after that,you have to start preparing for the education. Maybe give another year and your husband might agree to have a baby already

I have known people why say they have baby fever where they really want a baby. I've never experienced that myself since I have never had a desire to have kids. I think a lot of people just think about cute babies, and cute baby clothes, and happy smiling babies and playing with the baby. They really don't think about when they get sick and cry all night or turn into disrespectful teenagers and all the hard work and sacrifice that is involved. They don't think about if the baby might have health problems or things like that. Your husband is being practical listen to him. I'm assuming you are probably living with parents since you said you don't have your own place. Adding a baby to an already crowded household will be stressful and it can be even more stressful if you don't have the money to take care of it properly. You are young you still have a few years. Get your own place, save up more money and get more stable financially. In the long run it will be a lot better for you when you do have your family to start off on the right foot.
