I am starting a family very soon, and i know am facing something in the near future. We talk a lot with my boyfriend today and discussed about the future and even having kids. As my last discussion I said I am afraid or having doubts about babies. I opened up some of my doubts and he smiled at me, he said also the he himself have doubts about having kids. We are both afraid of having kids that we might be not a good parent someday or maybe we will fail but he said if we are both in to it, we are helping each other we will have a good marriage. I know i am into something big decision but now I am ready for it and I am very thankful to those who advice me here in mylot and understanding of my love.

Well, like you have come to realize is that it does take 2 people to be open and honest and work with what you have. Making sure you are prepared and talking about each situation you will face such as this is a Good thing too. Just make sure before any step to know that your relationship will work and ready to bring another person into it. It is a Big step but can be quite rewarding.

Being parents is truly not easy, beside you have to take good care of them when they are babies, kid and you still have to teach them to be good when they start to approach the society more especially in their teenage time. We didn't plan anything to have babies but it happened last year and he is almost 7 months old now, I guess it will just hpapen when it happens and learn while you are parenting, I thought I would not know what to do about taking care of a baby but I'm doing alright. I wish you good luck with your boyfriend!

Soon as you get married,and when you feel that you are both ready for the having a baby,it will come naturally. You will the urge once you are ready to have one. Now,it's normal,because you are still on the adjustment period. Besides,better enjoy each other first and then plan for having a kid later.
