no one really ever knows.
But there are ways to know when you are NOT ready for a baby....for example
If you are under the age of 20
If neighther of you have jobs
If neighter of you have an education.
If you don't have a place to live.
If either of you have substance abuse
If there is violence or abusive verbal exchange between adults.
If you or him can't keep a job.
If one of you are in jail.
Those are basic things to NOT be in order to be a responsible adult.
Most families can't have the perfect conditions to have a baby, but they at least need to be able to have the basic things needed to surrive.
Personally I was married, we had purchased our first little house. We couldln't afford a table or going out for dinner, but we paid our bills.
When the baby came we had enough of a foundation as a couple and financially so that we could "do it" We struggled financially, but we had food, a place to live & an income.

I don't think anyone is ever ready for a baby no matter if they think they are or not! I think if you are in a stable relationship (married), have steady income to support the baby and all the financial responsibilities that come with it, and the couple has healthy communication with eachother, then you will be able to handle having a baby. It's a new experience, you can't be ready fro something you've never had before!
Good luck, hope this helped

Neither of us could think about anything else. I was crying every month when my period would show even though I was on BC and Dh was making comments about how he loved going over to his friends house so he could play with his kids. He felt like there was something really missing from his life.
Financially speaking, timing could have been better but there is never a great time. We just decided that it wasn't a bad time to try.
It's a hard decision to make because is changes your life forever. Even now I still wonder if we made the right decision but I know deep down that we did.

That's something you both need to ask each other. If you're on here asking that question, then no you are not ready for a baby.
