Hubby doesn’t want baby yet and I do!
Hubby doesn’t want baby yet and I do!
Had anyone ever had the above issue? We have been together for 10yrs, married over 2yrs now. We are both 28, homeowners, and financially secure. It took me a while to feel ready but last year I finally felt ready to think about starting a family. Problem is when I want something I am not very good at waiting!!

Did you ask him why he wants to wait? It usually takes a healthy couple 6 months to conceive, plus you add on the 9 months of carrying, it’s still going to be awhile before baby is here.

My husband didn't want another baby where I did. It was kindof like we tried but didn't try. Didn't use any protection but also didn't stress or use anything to really track ovulation

We just got married last may after 11yeara being together and we have a 3 year also the one on the way. But I wanted a baby way before he did. After 3 years he finally agreed but then found out it was going to be hard for me to get pregnant I went on fertility pills and 6 months later I was pregnant. He wanted to marry just because I got pregnant and I said no. We wanted another one but I miscarried at 8-9 weeks I said no more I'm done I can't go through losing another child. 2 months after being married surprise baby boy on the way! We weren't ready and not really stable money wise but we make it work. This is our rainbow baby and couldn't happier. Together your the strongest. He's 30 and I'm 29. In time your husband will be ready. Just be patient. My husband was super nervous with our first and he fell in love so fast. He was sacred of not being able to be a good dad and supporting more than just the 2 of us. It'll happen

My husband said the same thing- he promised me when I turned 30 we could start trying. (He’s 13 years older than me) 30 came and he was all weird and nervous about it. Turns out it took me forever to get pregnant, finally got pregnant November 2016 had my daughter July 2017...he told me he was worried he wouldn’t be a good dad, but he’s the best ever.

It's a huge decision. Your lives will never be the same. Be patient, but also make sure you're communicating well. Maybe suggest he talks to a dad who can be trusted? Guys are weird. Sometimes they do better talking to other guys.

My hb and I were dating 3 years when I got pregnant the first time.. lost the baby at 6 weeks.. took 4 more years and an ectopic before I finally got my baby girl in June 2011.. my hb said had he known how easy it would be he would have wanted a baby sooner.. we had our second daughter March 2014.. had two more losses at 4 months both and not today we got our bfp after trying 4 years... Guys tend to over react about babies.. really it's your body that does all the work but it usually isn't really till your holding your baby... If he does want kids how many.. how long would you wait between.. then factor in possible infertility and losses..how old do you want to be when you are done having kids (my number is 35. I just turned 34 in December.. so this is my last year.. I still want to be young enough to chase my kids around).. really at 28 it's a good starting time
