How Many of you have experienced a sudden urge to have a child in or around your mid twenties? Where you dream about it, or just feel heart broken that your not there yet, if you have please tell me what you felt or what you did to relieve the drawing feeling.
Its just like a feeling of needing to fulfill something for me, how about for you?

It hit me when I was 27. We had two kids by time I turned 30. I couldn't explain it, but just needed to start having kids. Luckily, my husband was okay with it!

I did the same thing; I swore for years I didn't want children because I come from a big family, but by my late twenties, I was married for five years and desperately wanted a child. I had my daughter at thirty, and she keeps me young.
For me it was just a desire for a fulfilment; a need to have a child to nuture, and a completion of the love of my husband and myself. I do feel that a child needs two parents if at all possible, and a person needs all the help they can get in raising a child. You don't know how much work it is until you have one, and how you sublimate yourself to this little person until they can take care of their own basic needs for a little while. I wouldn't give up my daughter for anything; she means the world to me.

This is totally normal and natural - it's your maternal instinct and hormones messing with you! What I did was find some work with children, volunteering, so I was around them, doing things with and for them. If you especially like babies, some hospitals have volunteer programs for women to come in and hold/feed/rock babies. Fill your life with family, friends, and fun. I didn't get married til 28 and had first baby at 30! These days, it's not much of a problem if it's even later...

I had that feeling in my later twenties. I have been wanting a baby and seeing children and wondering if i will ever have one. If I would ever find the right man. But now I am almost thirty and think I have. I am about 10 weeks along now. I am a little scared this is my first one.
