Do I want a baby?

[HarleyQuinn89]

Who do I talk to about whether I'd like to get pregnant or not?

I've always said no. But I'm now 30 and want to think about it fully before having the implant back in. Because this is the age I would want to be...

But I don't want to do something I'll regret either way. Any help... appreciated!

Hi!

I would probably just suggest talking to your partner (if you have one) or/and family and friends. It's a really personal decision so it may take a while to figure out what's going to be right for you, but you still have time if you are 30, there's no need to rush into a decision.

Also the implant can be taken out at any time and your fertility should go back to normal pretty quickly.

Good luck!

The decision to have a child is your own and your partner's (unless you're going down artificial insemination. Nobody else can make that decision for you. You could talk to.family and friends... But ultimately this.will would be your.child.and your responsibility, so no one else can make that decision for you.

This is not somethimg a any professional can help you with, if that's what your question implied.

It’s such a personal decision. I always said I was never having children, I had a little surprise when I was 30 and my baby girl is now 6 months old and I honestly couldn’t be happier, I never saw this for me but I adore being a mummy. I was in a place where I was financially stable and not worried about my career, otherwise things may have been different. Whatever you choose, you know yourself best, trust yourself

If you want the choice maybe switching to a non hormonal contraceptive like the coil would be a good idea, for some of my friends it took a while for fertility to return after hormonal contraception which can be stressful once you are actively trying. But you are still young no need to rush into the decision, consider if you are in a stable relationship with a good support network and you are ready for the upheaval, or if you were to go it alone how would that look for your situation and is it doable.
