I have not told my boyfriend about it, I know that he wants to be a daddy but I don't think he would want one yet, he talks all the time about what he wants to do with his kids when he has them and he loves playing with kids and baby's that friends and family has. But I can't get past the need for becoming a mother, no matter how much I tell myself that I am not financially ready, and how it would be better to wait for a baby, I just can't kick that need for a baby. I have no idea what I should do, what do you think?

Maybe some of it is the boyfriend talking, and knowing he likes kids too---
I don't think it would be bad to talk to your boyfriend about it, just as you did here, sharing might even defuse the strength of the urge a bit---you can join the talk of "someday" children---and you will know when you are ready-----really ready. I think you are smart, thoughtful and strong; it is not easy to reason when we feel so strongly about something. It's a struggle and you are engaged in it---that is a good thing.
