hi there,sounds like you have done very well for yourself and if you are ready for a baby then go ahead and have one,if i,d listened to my mom,although she,s great,i,d never of had my 6 lovely children and i want more! if you and your hubby are ready im sure you will be great parents,im still learning new things with six.if something goes wrong i always tell my kids that i never went to college to learn how to be a good mom,you just do your best.
good luck,xx

I was just wondering if any of you have any thoughts: I am 26, married almost 7 years. Hubby has always wanted to start a family and I was the one to drag my feet. I am from a "broken home" and kind of worried about what kind of parent I'll be. Now - I want to have a baby, terribly. But my motherinlaw lives with us, with her 4 yr ols - I know, sounds crazy, but she lists all these reasons we aren't ready to be parents. And, trust me, they are good ones. I am finishing law school, hubby is finishing his PhD - but I don't know how much longer I will be able to wait. I just can't explain it - but I dream about a snugglebug all the time. Should I keep waiting? When will I know I am ready?

Good regular penetrative sex is always helpful when trying for a baby!

folic acid is the one they recommend here, but my sister lives in the states and they recommend loads more

I took pregnacare tablets as they have loads vitamins etc in them for mums. I got them from the local chemist

I'm trying for a baby and have been taking folic acid - is there any other supplements people recommend?
