I am almost (gulp) 30. I'm excited about it and love to look at baby websites and have started taking vitamins, but keep putting off scheduling my preconception exam. I want to but I'm scared. I'm scared to really take that step. Does this mean I'm not ready?

It is normal to be scared!!!! I was 30 having the first and (gulp,gulp)37! I fit three in those years and trying for the 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After you have one, you'll wonder why you were scared! It is really a great experience, it is not bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk more with your husband and you do still have time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to you and I wish you the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think being scared of the total change to your body and your life is normal, and it doesn't necessarily mean you aren't ready to have a baby. Really ask yourself, are you ready for your life to change? Are you ready to put yourself last and a baby first 24/7? :) Do you want to have leisurely Sundays in the park and be able to fly to Europe with your husband on a moment's notice for the rest of your life, or are you ready to trade that in for something different (but wonderful)? I think if you're ready to see what else life can be about, you're ready to start trying.

It's certainly normal to be scared. It's all compeltely new!! But I'm certain you're ready. Talk lots with your husband and once you make that first step, everything with go SO smoothly. The best of luck to you!!

It is going to be scary, I think the first one always is. You really don't know what to expect or whats happening and it is such a joy at the same time.
I would recommend you read some books like what to expect when you're expecting and other books so you can be more aware.
