has mom been on your @ss ?? Don't make it seem like I am on your @ss about it because I am not. Who has been asking you?? You should tell anyone who bugs you about it to shove it up their @ss and leave you alone about it. Say that it is a touchy subject and you aren't comfortable with talking about that right now. Say that you will aproach them when you want to talk about it.

It funny that before you get married, people ask you when is the wedding. After the wedding, they start to ask you when is the baby shower. Next time, who ever ask you , they you ask them back, " are you going to babysit my baby for free, if I have one?" I promise you, they will shut up. But if they say they will babysit the baby, (they are probably your in-laws and parents), then tell them honestly: I don't have a baby yet, because of the pressure and stress you guys give to me. If you want me to have a baby, please stop stress me out.

Whats funny is my family put's very little pressure on me about getting pregnant.. for me it's all my friends at work who keep asking when are we going to be throwing your baby shower? when are you and your hubby gonna have a little one? It's annoying... I'm working on it but you know everyone works at a different pace... I think the reason I get asked so much is because there is something in the water at my work I'm not kidding 1 out of every 5 women at my work is pregnant and now they want to know why the water isn't working on me...
I smile and say "we're working on it!" and that usually shuts them up or... "can you spare me weekend getaway money?"

Sometimes family members put this kind of pressure when they are reflecting on their lives. You know .... like they are thinking "how much time am I going to get to spend with my grandchild or will I ever be able to see my grandchild." When parents get older and their children grow up, move away and get married, they have ALOT of idle time on their hands to contemplate their lives.
Hope this helped.

oh yeah! i'm in your boat.
we've been trying (practice makes perfect).
this is what i have found that works (on religious people especially):
with eyes welling up and lip quivery tell them , ' when it's gods time? ' and make sure you say it in a questioning way. then turn around and walk away with your head down ( and thinking to yourself ' that's what you get for asking such a personal question'.)
