I want to TTC but hubby doesnt. . . .
Anyone else had this problem, we got married in sept, I am 27 and want 2 babies before I am 30. Me and hubby have been together since 2000 and I want a baby with him so bad, he is worried about finances but I told him that we have 9 months after we conceive to worry about that. I mean I started my own business which has been going pretty well. I am a graphic artist, so i do logo design, invitations, save the dates, announcements, hats, t-shirts, anything printed. And he is a auto-mechanic so I know that we will do fine. He is worried because he knows I will not be making what i am now, I work for CNN i am the lead artist for the headline news network. But I want a baby, now the other problem is my parents the want us to wait a few years before having a baby but I don't want to my hubby said we have to talk but he has yet to talk to me about it. Should I just ask him what's up. . . please someone help me i cry at night cause i feel that my hubby doesn't want to have a baby with me. . . .

Re: I want to TTC but hubby doesnt. . . .
I am going through the same thing right now. We have been married for almost 3 years. I have wanted a baby ever since we got married but we decided to wait. Now I am tired of waiting. My husband says we are not ready because of money but everyone I talk to says your never ready. We both have really good jobs amd I am starting to think its just an excuse. He is nervous now because I have had periods of nausea in the moring and at night. So I know how you feel. I think they think too much!

Why do they have to think about it so much. I mean i told him once we had a baby things would fall into place. But hes like we need money. I know people who make way less then us who have 2 kids and making it fine they said once the baby comes you make it work no matter what. I wish i knew why he didnt want one. . . im starting to think its me, like maybe he regrets marrying me or something. . . . . .

Re: I want to TTC but hubby doesnt. . . .
I'm actually the other way around...dh wants a baby like yesterday and i want to wait until we are in a better position financially. I also just want to spend time with us being a married couple before we jump right into parenthood. I definitely want children, just want to wait a year or two.I'm sure its not you. He may just want to wait a bit and savor being married a little longer before starting the next big thing--starting a family.
Don't worry.

Re: I want to TTC but hubby doesnt. . . .
I know how you feel...I am older-35 and hubby is 36, and we have a house, both have good jobs, etc...I have wanted to start trying since we got married last May, but he said he wanted to wait, so I agreed. Then I THOUGHT he agreed to start 'early this year' and when I asked him about it around January, he said he thought late summer would be good...I have been so mad at him because i want to have 2 children, and he keeps coming up with excuses, and my favorite one is 'why the rush?'i don't wish this on anyone, but i am relieved to hear that others are going through this too...i also get myself upset and cry, but i'm also not sure when a good time to talk to him about it is...
i know that men in general are more afraid of finances, change in lifestyle, etc...but it is very frustrating...
maybe you should just plan a night to have dinner together at home, with a little wine, and just talk to him and see what his timeline is?

Re: I want to TTC but hubby doesnt. . . .
I am so sorry to hear others are going through this. Why can't they just understand that we have no control over wanted one. I never thought it was a big deal but once my cousins and friends and other family members started having babies it hit me. I wanted one of my own. I cry so often about it. I am always sad and no matter what I do I can not cheer up. I love the hubby so much but we are in two different places now. He says he wants kids then he doesnt he is confusing the hell out of me.I stopped taking the pill because my Dr. said i should be off of the pill a few months before ttc once he heard that its like he is scared to touch me. Ahhhhh this is so frustrating. Well I plan on talking to him on Saturday, I will let you know how it went.
