Baby cravings
Posted by an anonymous user on 8/7/2008 8:39:00 PM
I am a 27 yr old woman who has been happily married for a little over a year now. I was with my husband for 7 years before we got married, so we've been together for a while now. We met in college and dated throughout our undergraduate years and continued into our master's programs. We are both currently working towards our Ph.D. We both have about 3 more years until we graduate with our degrees.
While I don't have any complaints, I have been getting baby cravings. It's been so bad at times that I want to just drop out of school to be a housewife and raise my family. Other times I've wanted to trick my husband into thinking we had "an accident" when it was really my plan to get pregnant all along. I know this is selfish and manipulative, but I just want to begin the next phase in our lives. I still want my Ph.D but I also want a baby too! I know its hard work to have both, but it's managable. People have done it before.
It just sucks b/c I know a baby isn't best for my educational career, but I just want one so bad!

thats not true skit. once she has a baby she wont not want it!
she's old enough to know what she wants. she knows that she can handle one with school and work. its not a question about being ready, because she clearly is ready.
its a question of will she be able to spend enough time with it?
you are already this far with school, but 3 years is a long time to wait for one.
consider maybe talking to your husband about your craving...see what he says...if you really cant live without having a baby, then a couple months after your talk with him, accidentaly get pregnant. haha

I can totally understand how you feel.
If I were in your shoes, I would talk to my husband about how I felt and tell him that you don't want to wait around until its to late. If your positive you really want a baby,and you can take care of that child and love it and nourture it, then he should understand. A baby can change everything for a person,whether good or bad, but as long as your positive you want one, then sit down with your husband and let him know!
