How to cope with baby fever?

[Anonymous]

It’s only started within the past year but it’s gotten progressively worse. I am constantly thinking about getting pregnant and birth, having kids, parenting stuff, what to buy, etc. I’m only 20 and I’m using bc with my boyfriend but goddamn I don’t know how to stop fixating on this stuff. Goddamn biology. I know it’s not the best time to have a kid but I really biologically have the urge to.

Thank you guys for your funny responses lol. Sadly, I don’t think there’s any chance of tapering or tricking my biological instincts into ceasing. I wish I never turned 20.

Age 30 and 90% of the eggs are gone. Biology vs. you basically hits you with a drive. It's like a guy that refuses to masturbate even though he hasn't gotten laid in months... that dude ends up walking around with a hard on in public oozing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ooze down his leg.

Biologically speaking, late teens to mid 20s is the best time to have a kid if you don't want it to have birth defects.

Financially speaking, it almost never is, but your biological clock doesn't know that.

Well. Then get your rational mind going. Having a child isn't about you and your egoistic short term gratification. It's a long term commitment. I'm not saying it's wrong to want a baby. I'm just saing to drown your desires in rational thinking xD for me that helps a lot
