ago; however, we weren't entirely sure we were ready. So instead of jumping straight into trying we decided to drop the bc and see what happened. Each month when there was no baby we became a little more sure of our readiness to have kids. Just this week we had another conversation to solidify what we were both feeling and have decided to go for it instead of just not preventing it anymore. But I wouldn't have traded these two years for anything. While I have no doubt that we would have loved being parents if it had happened already I am also really glad that I had that time to be totally sure and that my husband had that time as well. I'm also really glad that now that we are going for it I don't have to wait six months for my body to normalize after bc! But the best advice I can give anyone is to do what is right for you. Listen to that voice inside and if you're questioning then maybe it's not right at the moment but that doesn't mean it won't be! Q&A: Are we ready to have a baby? I don't think any couple is truly "ready" for a baby. My husband and I were together 6 years before I had my first, and even then we weren't "ready". You don't even know the kinds of sacrifices you will be making, until you make them. You can plan as much as you
