Anti Baby

From a couple other posts I've seen I believe I'm in the right forum but I could be wrong.


When my H and I first got married 3 and a half years ago we both knew we wanted to have kids before we turned 30, we were looking at maybe 27-28 years old. As I've gotten older I've wanted to have kids less and less. I look at the relationship that we have now and I don't want to ruin it. I know everyone says that having kids changes things and we will still be able to do most of what we do now, other things will be enhanced but it just doesn't feel right. Everything about a baby just makes me cringe. I feel so horrible and fear that I could potentially ruin my marriage because of this. I've tried talking to my husband about this once but it ended in tears and I just don't know what to do or how to feel.

Re: Anti Baby

  • Ditto everything that Bruins said, and I 100% agree that you need to talk to your husband (ASAP). You should not, under any circumstances, have a baby just because he wants one. TTC and parenting is a team sport, and both of you have to be on the same page about it (otherwise resentment may occur). Good luck talking to your H!

  • I agree with PPs.  Also, your marriage dynamic changes when a baby arrives, so you need to be prepared for that.  If it's something you don't want, you need to tell your husband asap.
