Do you get baby fever?
You?
Just a side note - contrary to popular opinion, there are a lot of benefits to waiting until you're older to have kids, especially financially and the quality of life you can provide your kids. However, whenever you feel ready and willing, that's up to you. Child birth is easier when young - that's the main advantage and some conditions are less likely
https://www.youtube.com/embed/gY5CLjmfhvoPersonally, I wouldn't say I have "baby fever." Sure, I think I'm leaning to yes, if I'm in the right situation with my relationship. However, it doesn't define my life and I don't want to obsess over that in my 30s to the point that I'm making dumb decisions on partners, etc. I make above average salary, but still not quite at my salary goals of where I'd want to be with a child in my expensive city (not leaving NYC), even though my partner makes more money than most people. Honestly, between the two of us we'd be fine right now - better off than most. We're just not at that point yet - and we aren't married yet. And many moms are still climbing the ladder while having a baby - some say it can even be a motivator. If we get married, I could see myself having a kid in my mid-late 30s. 35 would be ideal but may feel like rushing it for our relationship. We'll have to just see how things go.
I had a moment of baby fever syndrome when I was really young and in college, but I think it was partly a desire to fill a void, as I didn't have as much going on at that time. And I most definitely couldn't have afforded it without being broke or living a life I didn't want for myself. School districts are so key and how much real estate / neighborhood you can afford makes a difference, unless you can afford private school. I can see myself being a good mom and enjoying raising a child, but it's such a significant decision that any "fever" I experience is tempered with rationality, careful thought and consideration for me. Married couples struggle more in their relationship when children come into the picture. I need to make sure we're clear about not putting most of the child rearing burden on me - he seems fine with this. I'd want to maintain my own comfortable lifestyle, while also giving my child a good life, in an expensive city. boyfriend wasn't sure with his ex, but now when I ask him about it, he seems more into it now. He says 2 is the ideal number. I prefer an only child. We just have to see.
So yeah I think it's just mixed with a lot of consideration of all the things at this point in my life. Yes, they're cute, but they're also a lot of work and you don't necessarily know what their specific needs will be - if they have a disability, for example. The level of stress and worry I've seen with a lot of moms goes up so much, obviously. A lot of moms regret having kids, but feel they can't speak up. Just be thoughtful about it, and it sounds like you are. Do lots of research and talk to a lot of different types of moms with children with different needs. They stay tiny, dependent infants for a very short time and after that they're off and you can't stop the train!
Nah I have a 11 month old and I'm 4 months pregnant so my life is all baby right now. It'd be about impossible for me to have baby fever
I wish I had it. I have one daughter with my wife plus I help raise a friend' son because the father is a scumbag who ran away, and yet I can't feel connected to either child.
My wife and my friend literally sit together breastfeeding their babies and I feel excluded. They say I'm doing well but somehow I feel I'm not doing something right.
I think sometimes people just have a hard time connecting to babies bc they’re babies. Once they get older and develop personalities more I think it will prob be easier for you 🙂
I guess you are right.
Naturally I love both my daughter and my friend' son very much, everyone is happy and that's what matters to me.
Awesome memes!
I do. I do right now but trying to curve it. I wish I would've been better before so then I probably would have had some. 4 is what I'd like but settle with 3.

Yes really bad! I’m working on my stability to get to that point though cuz I am not ready right now at all. I’ve been dying to have a baby since I was my niece’s age (6, according to my mom). As a little kid I would always constantly say “I wanna be pregnant!” “I wanna have a baby!” When I didn’t know anything about it but here 20 years later, I know how it works and everything, I know a lot of things based on what I’ve been told and being an aunt/babysitter with my niece and nephew and I still can’t seem to get rid of it! People have told me my baby fever will go away if I see them when they act up and stay overnight with them, I’ve done all that and still can’t get rid of it
Definitely, I have literally a entire pinterest board just dedicated to it, might as well dream about it too lol. It melts my heart just seeing pictures of parents playing with their kids or dad falling asleep with the toddler on the sofa or cute moments like those.
I can't wait until I have the money, the home, the ability to care for my family. To see my love waking up in the morning and holding the baby, tired (babies cry too much I swear).
No, I already have two. I got married then had my kids.
why the baby fever?
You have a boyfriend? Getting married soon?
Awww congrats. Nope I don’t have either I just get baby fever 😂
Tried babysitting for 0-2 yr olds?
Not at all, and the only time I started to dream about it was when I was with the right man this is everything to me I’ll never have a baby just because I want one
It comes and goes for me.
This pic 😍
When I have bouts of baby fever, I find myself collecting images like it X)
Yup then I look at my kids fighting each other and I’m okay again
Every once in a while but It's so strong and it last for like months
Nope, never have and I don't at all find the prospect of pregnancy, kids or motherhood to be at all appealing
I've taken care of enough babies and kids from family and relatives... lol
Nope, been there and done that. My youngest is 22 years old
Yeah a lot... but i still need to save money and get a fulltime job before and well i dont have anyone either so... 😞
Delivering a baby in the US will get you charged $10,000-20,000. That's a new car/down payment on a house. Be wise!
After dealing with my 11 year old brother, no
I never get baby fever
A baby is not like a pet monkey. You owe it to the baby to provide a stable household preferably with two parents.
Nope I got football fever
Yes, as a guy I can say I get baby fever to be a Father.
