I was 22 when I had my first daughter. There was never a question with me that I wanted to have children, I just knew it. I had my son 5 1/2 years later and then 3 years after that my daughter. All three of my children were wanted and planned. It is difficult to explain but I knew that I wanted them. When my last child was born as soon as she came out I said I am glad this is my last one. I knew then that I didn't want anymore. Again, really difficult to explain.

The point is if and when you are ready you will know it. There will be no thoughts of not having enough money or time. You will know if it is right without question. I heard someone say once that if you wait until you have enough money or enough time to have children you will never have them.

Children do change your life forever. But for me I never missed my life before children and once they were born couldn't imagine my life without them. I know that it isn't like this for everyone.

Now that my youngest daughter is a senior in high school I am starting to try to think what my life will be like with no kids at home. It is very difficult for me but I am sure I will adjust.

Try not to stress and try to have a peace about your decision and when the time is right you will know the best thing to do for you.
