I was in the middle, so no pressure at all. I did when I was ready, not everybody else.

yeah it is an amazing experience and she is at the stage where she would want kids

  it is a woman’s decision to have kids when she is ready and capable

We were sort of in the middle of our group. I guess that makes things easier

All I ever wanted was to be a wife and a mother … after quite a few miscarriages I have the wonderful nephews, and niece’s so I make the best of times together…. some friends suggest I should look into foster care I,m really worried about getting to attached, but it is something i’m thinking about….

My friends & I all sort of had kids within years of each other.

most people mean well, others are just plain annoying putting pressure on A couple who don’t have children. There are many reasons why a couple haven’ t had a baby.

she is at a good age and I thnk most women get this

she picked a good age to become pregnant, she is mature and knows she is ready

When people asked me “Oh, no children yet?”, I’d make a joke of it by saying “Nope, haven’t found any in the cabbage patch lately”, or “Oh we’ll get them when they’re giving away 2 for 1 with a block of chocolate”. But even with my sense of humour, I did eventually get quite tired of people asking. I wasn’t the first in my group, nor was I the last to fall pregnant. But I’m probably the only one in the group to tell a nosy interrogator “Mind your own business”, when I was nagged and nagged about when we were going to start a family.

Awww good luck to her 🙂

It always makes you clucky when friends or relatives are having babies, even when I see little ones in the supermarket.

Yeah, I was the last, but I didn’t get asked often. My friends knew I wanted them, and didn’t pry into why they hadn’t arrived.

I was the first to fall pregnant out of my friends

Yes, I was the last to have a child in my circle of friends, was always being asked when I was going to start a family.

Who cares when you have children its your decision! But I will say having a child in my early 30’s was a lot easier than having my last at 40. just saying.

It’s nobodies business, I really can’t understand why people ask that question.
I’ve also done the, “I can’t have children” line in the past, just to shut people up.
Honestly it’s insensitive & disrespectful.

I think she is just one of those people that knows what they want, and aren’t in a great rush to get it – it will come to her.

She sounds very mature and grounded.

I was married for 8 years before we had kids.
We were not trying but people still kept asking when are you having a baby.
In the end to shut them up we told them that we weren’t able to.

Kept them silent for a good few years! LOL.

I was one of the first in my group of friends to have a baby…..and I never got asked when I was starting….. but I did get asked hadn’t I had enough!
