Deciding whether or not to have a baby?
Deciding whether or not to have a baby is probably the biggest decision you will ever make in your life.  For some people it is an easy decision, for others it isn’t so much ‘if’, as ‘when’, but for others, myself included, it is a gut wrenching, back and forth decision that plagues our thoughts for months if not years.

When our mother’s and grandmother’s were growing up, it was inevitable, that one day they would leave the comfort of the family home, to marry and start a family of their own, but today things are different.  Today, women have choices, and a family is something that they usually ‘decide’ to do, not something that is just simply a natural and normal part of adult life.....
Whilst I always loved children, I really never thought that I would have any of my own. Frankly as I got older, I just simply got more selfish with my time.  The longer I left it the thought of disrupting my career, sharing my partner and my relationships, loosing my body and my fitness, my social life and a huge amount of cash just seemed less and less like a good idea.

But like many women I was always plagued by that nagging thought “will I regret it”, and hence once I hit that magic number... Yes, you know the one... 35, I really started to analyse whether or not I was really as sure about not having a baby as I had always thought.

The Baby Decision is a big one and as such, this will page will be dedicated to the women, and men out there who are at that awful crossroads in their lives, when they are deciding whether a baby and a family is for them.

To get you started please read my article “The Baby Decision” before checking out a few more articles about pregnancy and parenting on this site, to get an idea about what parenting and pregnancy is really like.
