Im in my early 20's and partner just about to hit 30. We have this great set up, the kind you hear about. 'Nice house, financially stable, dog, cat. Good Jobs, family car' and all thats missing is a 'Family'. Since starting, iv cut back on everything. Tried to lead a more healthier lifestyle and sometimes it just feels as though its all for nothing. When the likes of my friend, drinks, smokes, partial to drugs, well she went out this Christmas, one night stand. And wham shes now 4 months pregnant! Shes not got a good set up, no job and still lives with her gran, aged 25 (NOT THAT, THAT MATTERS) however i just feel, people who are lucky in certain aspects of life, Aren't so lucky in others! Everywhere i seem to turn now, friends/family are falling pregnant and yet we seem to struggle. AF is due in 2 days, heres hoping this is our month. I think after this, we are planning on giving up on this. Going back to the doctors and possibly a fertility clinic as a last resort. We're in the process of discussing adoption. Although it would be the best feeling in the world to biologically have a child of our own, we could still make a difference to another child's life. And that must be just as good feeling.

I was terrified for the first month that my son was born! Am i going to drop him? What do I do to make him stop crying? It was insane! Luckily my husband was right there every step of the way. I hate to admit it, but at certain things my husband is actually much better at dealing with the baby than I am! Well said! I was terrified for the first month that my son was born!
