Hi, Both my Fiancé and I are 22, we are living together and are planning to get married on July 20th, 2013. And for the past 2 months or so I've been wanting so badly to have a baby to share our love with. I'm wondering why now, We've been together 4 years and I haven't felt this strongly about pregnancy before. Thanks

It's the nesting instinct that many women experience. Please get a dog first -- preferably one from a shelter. If you can manage a dog with feeding, walking, training, and loving, you will be a wonderful mother after you get married. I wish I had gotten a dog first before I had kids. I would have learned so much (patience is at the top of the list) that I wouldn't have had to learn raising my own children!

(And a dog will give you unconditional love. A child does not.)

I agree with the nesting statement. Now, your mind is thinking more about making a home and family together so its natural to think of these things.

I strongly suggest getting married first. Having a baby brings a lot of stress into a relationship and wedding plans ;)
