I am 29 and my clock started
5/3/2008 at 9:26 pm
I am 29 and my clock started banging (ticking would be too mild a description) about a year ago. My husband and I got married in April and we talked about conceiving before the wedding. We ended up moving the wedding date up instead. The best thing you can do is talk about it, A LOT. If you your bf is as into it as you are then he will want to talk about it to. The way that we did it, to help me be more patient and to make sure we really did the pregnancy thing well, was to do a bunch of stuff around our intention to get pregnant before we actually started trying. So by that, I mean we started a journal for the baby, talking about our fears and what we were doing to prepare for its arrival. We also BOTH quit drinking and other stuff, drinking coffee, and we also BOTH started taking prenatal supplements... you should be on folic acid before you start trying. Doing this together will be support for you during your pregnancy. Getting into doing these things and trying to involve your bf will help you figure out how into it he really is, and also how ready you are for the reality of it. Trying to get pregnant we have learned is a rollercoaster of up and down and is very stressful. You dont want to deal with the stress of this and a wedding at the same time. We went off the pill a couple months before the wedding so that I could start charting and figuring out my regular cycle. Check out Taking Charge of Your Fertility book and software. You do not want to rush into this as it is really stressful. But it is also fun and exciting to share with a partner who is as into it as you are. so try some things to get him involved and if he is right there with you, then go for it!
