I would like a child someday just not now. I'm not pregnant or anything. But lately I've had an overwhelming desire to get pregnant and have a child. I can't say exactly why I guess it would give me purpose in my life. It wouldn't be so bad having the first grandchild and the honor that comes with it. It's just that deep down I know I'm not ready for a child, and that I won't be until I'm 30 which is 7 years away. So why am I feeling this way? How can I shake these feelings for a few years anyway?

The maternal instinct is very strong indeed. The first thing you did was recognize that it is an instinct. Second, you know you would like to wait for seven years so you know it will one day happen. Third, volunteer at a grade school for a day. Start in kindergarten and then first grade. Good luck.

Spend time with someone who has a baby and you'll see how much work they are... Yes, they are little bundles of joy, but they change your whole life around. Plus, you should be in a comfortable enough position to have a baby... you should have a husband and be financially able to stay at home with it when it's born... Are you in that position right now?

Well ask yourself if you are ready to support this child.
It's a life changing experience.
Keep in mind that a baby can cost up to 10,000 a year so be wise about it.

Don't rush in is my opinion. Like someone said babysit for a friend and see what its really like... And please get married first and remember all the expenses and responsibilities the child will come with.

Since you don't even have a boyfriend yet I don't see how this is really a problem. Nothing wrong with fantasizing about it.
