scared of having a baby but majority of me feels ready to have one. About a year ago I was thinking the complete opposite. My husband and I were together only 6 months before we got engaged and then a year and half before we got married. He has a teenage girl from when he was a teen. She has affected our lives as couple. My biggest fear is that her troubling behavior will affect my new baby's life in the future. So this is what pushed me to wait at first. After talking to a few trusting people in my life I've realized I can't wait forever. I have no control over what happens with my step-child. but my husband and I can try our best parenting the new baby. and if i were to wait til im not scared of what would happen then I may as well never have a child. Im going to have faith and try to have this baby and love him or her unconditionally as my husband does his daughter.
