If some day is always tomorrow, it may not ever come. Just throwing that out there. I pushed my wife to get knocked up the first time, then after that initial hesitation was gone, she wanted more babies. She reached her limit there a couple years ago, but she hasn't hit thirty yet, so we still have plenty of energy to keep up with the little ones.
There was less risk of her having complications because she was younger as well.
It's just something to bear in mind if you do want kids. You'll never truly be ready, ironically it's having kids that pushes you to be a better person. Like as long as you aren't doing heroin, meth, or warhammer, there isn't anything keeping you from being a good parent.
No. I have 2 kids already.
25? "being a mum SOMEDAY"... but "FUN THINGS" come first.
What are you waiting for? Another one of these women who want kids but figure they'll just F around until 30 and then magically find some relationship and have a kid.
Good luck. These are your prime mate finding and baby having years... you've already missed out on 7 of them. Don't even have your baby daddy lined up yet. Another using your 20's to chase career and f around.
I need a good man first. And the fun things I’m referring to include travelling with my husband for example.
I’ve always thought that when I get married I’ll just do it raw and see what happens lol.
All this sounds rational to me. Don't put the cart before the horse. I was married at 27, but didn't have my son until 12 years later when I had a home, money in the bank, car and some stability in my relationship.
There are also people who want to have children right away. There's no "best" way. It's up to the people involved.
Yeah I can totally see myself having baby fever in the future. But for now, definitely not lol
Wow so much happened in such little time and at such a young age!
@itsalyssaagain I don't know how we did it. I was working full time and going to college at night. My wife stayed home with the kids. We had sort of a fixer upper house so what little spare time I had was spent fixing up the house. I was also running marathons.
25 isn't too young to have a family. But to have three children in three years is burning the candle at all ends.
@exitseven Well you had a lot of energy it appears. That's how you did it.
@Screenwriter It really was nuts. I think I was so busy that I didn;t have time to be miserable. I heated my house with wood and cut my own firewood. I would go through 7 or 8 cords a year. Ironically I work about a mile from where I lived back then and there is a dog kennel next door from where I work. Back then it was a vacant lot and I used to get up early on Sunday and fill my trailer up with firewood before anyone was around.
That’s really admirable honestly
Youth has its pluses. Lots of strength and energy to spare... And he did what was necessary.
@Screenwriter Yes, almost 30 years and fake hip later I know I could not keep up that pace today. It is all I can do to get through my work week these days.
I always have baby fever! Don't think it ever goes away like I just had a baby two weeks ago and already wanting another one.
Unfortunately I got it im getting older and I don't have any kids so I definitely want some and soon
@Apple1996 lemme have one of ur kidsssss haha. Why u want another rnnnn

I for what it’s worth I have an odd fetish related to this.
The pregnancy fetish. However, have I gotten any girl’s pregnant? No. Do I actually or have I actually ever wanted too? No 😂
But honestly from what I understand about baby fever, I think what causes this is that when a woman see’s a sister, family member, or friend with a new born. All they see is the nice, cute, easy aspect of a baby/kid. They don’t see the sleepless nights, stress from the kid throwing tantrums in a public area. Etc.
So often, they get baby fever, and then have a child. And often they regret their decision after they’re thrown in the nightmares of raising a kid. All the responsibilities they didn’t see or realize exist lol
Lol tell me about your fetish
With many of the girls I slept with, as I was banging them I would say out loud
“I’m gonna get you pregnant” they seemed to love hearing that. Lose their fucken minds
Damn haha. Yeah I’ve had 2 ex boyfriends say that to me. It’s a bit explicit but one of them said he would go so deep he can’t pull out and yeah 🤷🏻♀️😂
Girls love it for some odd reason, maybe it’s a combination if they really want to make a baby with the man given his genes etc. combined with them personally having the baby fever syndrome 😂
For me it’s sexual so I like it… it takes bonding to a whole other level.
Sorry I know that sounds odd since we’re on the topic of actual babies 😂 but I don't know it’s sensual in its own way.
Lol yeeep!!! It’s tied into having feelings with the guy. Also seems to boost or create emotional attachment 😅 cause yes I said it to flings. Probably didn’t help the situation….
No I totally agree, but that’s why I brought it up cause it’s kinda relevant given the fetish and what it entails
Why did you say it to flings? 😂
Idfk 😅😂 I guess cause I know that in general from experience women love hearing that
Lol I mean it depends on who it’s coming from! I’ve met guys - who I’ve literally JUST met and they’d say something like and it would freak me out.
I mean…. Personally and honestly in the most humble way possible. Every girl I said it too lost their minds in a good way. One girl for example screamed and bit my lip 💀💀💀
But every situation is different lol
Not really, as I have two teenage kids already. However, my girlfriend is nearing the end of her fertile years and she has intense baby fever as she has no child, yet, but always wanted children.
I can understand that, but I'm a little worried because I know already what to expect. Of course, with a different woman it is a different journey.
I always used to say that you should expect a wish for a bay if you insist on having a younger girlfriend. A man who already feels too old should best have a girlfriend his own age or older.
Of course, such clever things are easily said when they do not concern you, yet.
No, I have a girl and a boy. They are with us on vacation. My sister is also here with us with her 11 month old son (my baby nephew). so as of now we are happy to have 8 children between us siblings, ages between 21 years old to 11 month old). Full house ;).
At your age… no… I was enjoying my freedom. I was working on my grad school.
Enjoy your young… when that time comes…yiu will be “ready”. Till then!! Have fun!
Always. Never ending since i was in preschool playing with baby dolls... all the way through the childhood and teen years where i helped take care of others children... all the way through college where i watched people who didn't want to be moms get to become moms... and even now when most women dont even want kids until they have established a career... I have always been baby crazy
I do and it makes watching any movie with a cute baby involved hard to watch because I CRY 😭😭 even if it's not a human baby. I cried buckets when I watched Dumbo recently. Ugh bad idea.
Lol don't listen to those people telling you that you're in your prime. Physically, sure. That, however, is not the only factor that's important in having children. The sense of entitlement in some people is just gross.
Thanks!!! I appreciate that. Honestly I’ve always wanted to be a young mum when I was a teenager etc. But as you get older you learn more about life and your priorities shift. Also some things are out of our control.
You're absolutely right. I wanted to be a young mom too but as I'm growing older and staying to become more aware of things I really need to work on before I could consider having children it's become a great priority for me to look after myself first!! So much healing from generational trauma, as I work on therapy and stuff perhaps I'll have kids later but at least the cycle ends with me!! Hopefully.
Aw sorry to hear that! It’s so nice that you’re working through your generational trauma. I’ve started doing that myself but sometimes it gets tough… crazy how our generation is so self aware
Yeah I'll always be grateful for people who speak about it on the internet, it's so helpful!! We don't have to suffer in silence.
Hell no. I have “permanent infertility” fever. I don’t want kids and never will want kids. I’d rather be dead than have kids. My only “kids” will either have 4 legs and fur or 2 legs and feathers. If I could afford to get permanently sterilized I’d make an appointment right now lol 😂
I do want to be a father, but I wouldn't say I have baby fever. I have financial stability and my own house etc, so that part isn't a concern for me.
You're single because you are hung up on an ex, however if you are ready to move on, based on the attention you described getting, you could easily meet a guy quickly.
I’m hung up on my ex because I’m bored. It’s easy to get attention but not easy to meet a real man
Yeah us real men are hard to find 😉😂
😂😂 honestly is
My girlfriend has baby fever and being around her nieces weirdly gets her going to have sex.
I had to explain to her that thinking about small children absolutely gets me *out* of horny mode.
Haha I can imagine. It would make me feel the same way! 😂
I used to, very much. Was with the wrong partners and lost 2 children too 😔
Now it's too late for me. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be?
I’m sorry you lost 2 children! That’s tough you’re a hero for getting through that.
I don’t think it’s late for you?
So sorry to hear it. :(
Yes my dream is to have my first baby at 26. I’m 25 right now and I cry feel depressed everyday my baby fever is strong.
Awww
Nah, when I am in love - yes.
But I am finally over my ex fiancé so no more baby fever.
I wanted to have children when I was with him. He wanted the same.
No I don't even find them cute, I don't see the whole AWWWW 😐
Me too 😂😂😂😂😂
If anything it will make me think that im probably gonna be honking at them in the street within a 20 year period
Haha it puts me off especially when they start SCREAMING
Yea it's a frequency most people hate lol
I used to. I’ve had all the babies we planned to have now. I’m not opposed to a surprise fourth child, but I don’t have baby fever anymore and we’re not actively trying for another.
Yep it's honestly annoying. I get so excited about the thought of it. I want to be a mum so bad
I definitely have it and the older I get the worse it's getting
I have the opposite of baby fever. Every interaction I have with babies makes me more certain I don't want kids.
They're cute and funny to look at but I am not capable of the responsibility of taking care of a child.
You are at your peak SMV right now. Every year you delay your odds of landing a Giga Chad greatly decreases.
Sigh I don’t have a man
You could have a good man/husband with a snap of your fingers. But partying and racking up a body count in your 20's kills your chances of finding and actually loving a good man.
I’m literally a virgin and only leave the house to go to work/gym/coffee shops lol
So find a man, it should be incredibly easy at your age.
It’s really not…. It’s hard to find a man in the real sense these days. Men want to be chased and babied. And god forbid you ever reject them.
You are looking at the wrong men. Most good men are invisible to you.
Where are they
Yes and no.
I’m happy having one child and I know for sure that I wouldn’t have another.
but sometimes I think if the idea of having another and it makes me happy. 🥺
No, babies and under-5's are a pain in the ass.
Literally woke up this morning to a toddler screaming in the middle of the road. Was that really necessary?
I dont rlly get baby fever. Babies r cute, kids not so much
@Boomchakalaca I feel the opposite. Lol. I'm really good with kids; I just don't think I could take care of a baby.
🤝 I don't know babies aren't as annoying they kinda stay in one place like a 🐌 but a kid goes all over the place like they had sugar overload 🤦🏻♀️ when im in public, i get nervous bc what if the kid slaps my butt? Like i kicked strangers butt in public cuz i thought it was my dad ugh.
https://youtu.be/8WOHXTGEn2o
@Boomchakalaka Kids are like that sometimes. Lol
I never want kids and I wouldn’t date a man who does.
Thank god I don't. And I'm still not wanting a kid to eat my wallet alive.
u Definitely not, I don’t want kids and I really dislike babies.
nope i already have 3 so that itch has been scratched. although I was a sperm donor a few years ago so was still willing to help others get pregnant, but gave it up after covid hit
I'm 51 and my son is 4. You may want to start earlier than I did...
i get fever (pyrexia) from babies if it makes sense.
I love financial stability more than financial liabilities.
I'm not sure for guys honestly as never asked and personally no I don't but my ex would get baby fever every month.
I somewhat do I think. I've met some really sweet babies lately and they've warmed my heart.
I would love to be a dad, but you need a woman who has eggs and willing to carry a child.
I asked that question before
I wouldn't say I have a 'fever' but I do wish to be a dad one day.
Don't want to say this but have children earlier. Don't think too much about financial stability
That's fine, just be cognizant of your biological clock
I think they can be cute, but I only want one in a few years.
I'm already a parent.
Response to update: Again, you might want to reconsider your profile picture, if that's also your dating profile picture. 😂
Lol what’s wrong with it?
Also I deleted all my dating apps
Potential dates might feel threatened. I was just kidding anyway. lol
Deleting online dating profiles is probably a good move, but now you need to get out and socialize. Eligible guys aren't just going to show up at your door. Unless you're planning on boinking the mailman or Amazon delivery guy. lol
Yeah…. leaving my house is a challenge but we’ll see 😂😂
No dating profiles AND not leaving the house? You're going to be permanently single. lol
Omg please don’t say that 😂😂😂
What am I supposed to do?
@itsalyssaagain I'm divorced. How should I know? 😂😂😂
Oh dear lol. How did you meet your ex spouse?
@itsalyssaagain Out in the city after work one evening.
Damn I really have to go out 😭 you know what it is? I live in London and in case you haven’t heard it’s extremely overpopulated and congested. I usually just can’t wait to go home. Every time I’m out and about I feel a little bit overwhelmed after a couple of hours lol. I think also because it’s so busy, everyone’s so focussed on themselves making it even harder!
@itsalyssaagain Are you sure that you don't live in New York City? 😂
People say it gives the same vibe!!!
Funny enough my dream would be to move to NYC. I don’t have the funds for it and I was looking to study at NYU for a masters or something but it’s so damn expensive!!
Maybe when I have a partner I can convince him to move out there with me for a few years. That way we can split the costs 😂
But yeah it is literally my DREAM to be in NYC.
@itsalyssaagain Well then become my next significant other and then you can live your dream. I always wanted a significant other with a British accent. 😂😂😂
Okay I'll go stand in the corner now in shame and think about what I've done. 😂😂😂
Hahaha you seem like such a nice guy!!
@itsalyssaagain Well I am a pillar in this community and morale for the masses. 👍😉
Haha. Ok I have a question for you…is NYC really worth the hype?
@itsalyssaagain It depends. You need to want it and make the effort to succeed, and to enjoy yourself, if that makes any sense.
Yes definitely! So it’s not for everybody but if it is, it’s good
@itsalyssaagain Yes exactly. New York should seem similar to you, since you already live in London. The added bonus is that we'll be neighbors! 😂
Haha trueeee
@itsalyssaagain I'm sure you'll be fine with whatever you do. 👍
Aw thanks
@itsalyssaagain You're welcome. 👍
Not for now but later on sure
I feel like I did but ever since yesterday nope.
What happened yesterday?
I wanted to have a baby with my ex but I realized after having sex with him that it was a big mistake.
Was he bad at sex or you realised you don’t want any intimacy with him anymore?
I realized I didn't want intimacy with him anymore
I see
Baby fever?
That’s new to me, what it means?
Means you do haha
No, absolutely not.
Nope, never have and never will
So at what age you want kids?
I don’t know and I don’t think I’ll decide until I’m financially stable and married
I thought you were already financially stable
Currently not working due to mental health
Just like me
Haha twins
😉😉😉
Yes, I am waiting for grandbabies.
Absolutely NO desire to have kids or be a parent.
Nah, I no longer desire to have kids in this world
I don't want kids
No I do not lol
Sorry but I definitely have it
I mean, I’m not in a rush right now
Absolutely fuck no
Yes I do.
Never felt that.
I agree with you.
I do.
Yeah get high
