When did it happen for you?
When did you know you wanted to have a baby? I'm just wondering because I am starting to feel like something is off. I don't feel at all interested in kids...the thing is most of my friends are having or have had kids and are sort of getting pushy with the whole "why don't you have a baby" thing. Could there be something wrong? Will it happen for me? Could my clock just be "slow" at starting to tick? I know I'm probably being "paranoid" but I really feel like it may never happen.
*should note I'm 25 and have been married to a wonderful man for 3 years now.
Ladies, thank you all soooo much! I can't tell you how much better I feel after reading that it may or may not happen for me and either way it's ok...I guess I let everyone's pressure get to me and I shouldn't have!

I honestly wasn't even sure I wanted kids until I hit 30. Right around then I started to get the baby itch. Most of my friends had already had kids, some were already done having babies, by the time I actually thought I may want one. You still have time, and if you never get that itch, it's ok too! Not every woman is cut out to mother. Some ladies just aren't interested, and that's fine! Don't let people make you feel unnatural, or pressured.

This usually happens when your friends and those around you are having children at the moment.
Right now, three of my fellow classmates in my cosmetology class, as well as 4 people that go to my high school [much to the dismay of our local Planned Parenthood] are all pregnant.
That, as well as the fact that my sister-in-law is attempting to get pregnant, has made me wish to be a part of it.
Not that I would, no. I plan on waiting quite a while, haha.
It will happen when it's meant to happen; and if you still feel like there's a problem, then go to a doctor and see if their something wrong with your uterus or your eggs.
Good Luck.

Well, I had my first baby (unplanned) at 18/19.
I didn't feel any desire to have the next one until 23. But it's different for every woman. It seems that most women feel the urge between the ages of 23-35.
Don't worry- it'll come!

You are very young and have lots of time to have kids!!! And kids are not for everybody. There is nothing "wrong" with you just because you don't want kids or aren't ready for them yet.
When did it happen for me? When I was 34! I was 25 when we were married and we just weren't ready for kids for a long time. I'm very glad we waited. I'm 36 and pregnant with our second.
