Q&A: Are we ready to have a baby? No one is ever really ready to have a child but if you can afford to have one I see no reason why not to consider trying for one. My husband and I have been trying since a year after we got married. We occasionally do our thing and wait for results. In the past they have been all negative test results but we know when we are going to be pregnant we will work it out for the best for us and our family + baby to be Q&A: Are we ready to have a baby? Last Sunday was the last date of BCP. After this cycle - we're going to TTC. Am not sure how I feel about it yet... With respect to finances, I'm way too much of a planner - so that's not an issue. We're on track with finances - no problem. Pretty sure the only hurdle right now is my being unsure of having a baby. I guess it'll change once I know I'm pregnant. I've been doing everything right (i.e. no NSAIDS, no alcohol, don't smoke, trying to maintain my weight etc etc) but i'm still on the fence... Kinda apprehensive - coz am not sure how it'll change our lives... and I kinda like our life the way it is... Q&A: Are we ready to have a baby? Dulcita--I can completely relate. My husband and I have been TTC for the past 9 months
