Hi
I guess I too am old now LOL, at 30, but I had my first unplanned at 19. My paretns were very supportive, extended the house so that bubs and I had somewhere to live and Mum looked after her while I finished Uni, then bf now DH and I worked hard and managed to buy a house and both have jobs, and then decided we were in a "comfortable " position to have another child.

Now I have 4 and I love them more than anything. By the time we are in our 40's our kids will be going out and stuff too and we will get to travel etc. I look forward to it but I am not worried as I have heaps of time now to be with them. It is easier to look back on things than to look forward, and you may regret not having a baby but you won't regret having one.

My friends too were shaking their heads, and thinking I was such a fool, but they don't know what they are missing, and are only now deciding to have kids. I have fitted in the 4 kids I wanted by the time I was 30 and they prob will only get time for a couple if that. that's fine if that's what they wanted, but lots of people seem to be running out of time to have kids and it's a real shame.

Each to their own though. There are people who rerally don't want kids and they are better not to have them, if they feel that way.

Cheers Michelle
