How to get rid of baby fever?

Let's get something straight, I'm no where near financially or emotionally ready for children at my age, I am NOT trying to get pregnant, just to clear that up. Before someone starts bitching at me😒

I've always had baby fever, I've constantly been told it's normal for a girl my age and to "ride it out", but for me it's not that simple. Sometimes it's all I think about, how it would feel to create a whole new human, wondering how it would feel to touch their little toes and show them all the love I could give. I try not to bring this up to my guy so I don't scare him off, I watch birth videos to frighten me so it'll lessen. It doesn't work. Does anyone have actual advice on how to get rid of or at least manage this urge?

a lot of you are saying babysit, thank you for your responses 😊 but as of 2020-early 2021 I can't have any sort of job for personal reasons unfortuantely, so its out of the picture...

I once dated a young single mother and got to the point when I wanted a baby of my own with her, but she proved to me that she didn't even manage to care about her first child.

  On the other hand her female friend got pregnant because her boyfriend was so genius to use a balloon as a condom.

Why not raise some potatoes? I don't see an issue with that.

  All jokes aside. You may want to consider getting a pet. It's a reasonable "substitute", because you need to take care of it - but it's not AS big of a responsibility as an actual baby. So it's sort of a compromise for the time being.

Spending time around babies is the quickest way to become disillusioned with having one.

Think about all the things you don't get to do after you have a kid, financially stable or not - Your friends get to go to events and just dick around in their youth, meanwhile you're now the drag who's always tired and looking for a babysitter. Do you like going out every weekend? Forget it. You've got a baby to take care of, with both your time and money.

Also, your body can take a total shit after childbirth. Some girls are OK, but some just never lose the weight and some of the other effects. The widening of your feet, toilet issues, stretch marks, other stuff.

Think about how a kid can grow up to be a pedo or rapist. That should do it.. maybe. It happens to me sometimes tbh even tho i have very little desire for a kid. Sometimes my brain just gives into nature and thinks it would be great to make a girl pregnant and have a child. But i just try to remember everyone's kid could grow up to be an awful person usually works.

having a child is not as easy easy!!! I myself have to learn a lot... they put stuff they shouldn't in there mouth... they cry a lot in the 1st months and eat... they also hit themselves like when they are learning how to walk or stuff like that... it's not something fun..

I think its something you want in your life. The best thing i can say is to stay calm about it. You have time till you're ready to have a baby. I don't think this is something to worry about. My girlfriend has baby fever too but we know there are years to go for that. We've discussed names as well.

I'd say maybe start babysitting to get the itch out of your system. Allow yourself to have fun babysitting. Then you can save your baby thoughts for yourself towards the future and get experience to boot

Go get two of the meanest kids you know of and keep them for 24 hours. That should about take care of your baby fever and about everything else breakable you own.

  Thing is a plant can't move, and a pet will probably die before it's 18th birthday so no thanks

  Thing is, by the time your pet is 18, you will probably have a baby.
