Not speaking for anyone but I felt that way as well, I know some people feel differently. I looked around at family and friends expecting (and I tell myself stop comparing), even though we're not old, we feel that way, it felt like I was "timed". So I can understand.

Living in this society I had to be prepared. I know that this isn't all about me anymore, it's about the baby now and will be for 18+ years. I can't eat certain things, do certain things, there are days when I have to miss work, some things I never expected, my body is changing, I can't take of anyone except me for now! My depression and anxiety is more stressful. So yuou'll need support from him and the family so make sure you both are committed, things have been tough with my husband but we got through it. I know things will get tougher

I also just received my degree, and moved out, fiance and I got married. But wow my first 2 prenatal appts and clinic statements said $2500 before insurance. (I have health insurance thru my husband). Where I live, daycare for infants 4x/wk is 1800/mo. but I plan on being home. Though most places where plan to work, have daycare centers. The town next door has one of the best grade schools.

It's not like I want a baby just to have a baby. My view now is that it's a human to take care of, to take priority in everything I do. I'm slowly incorporating this into my life. I know I am not going to get any sleep, and really have to get used to poop. I'm looking for birthing classes now, and soon have to research for a pediatrician.
