    @semo Thank you :) I am really glad to hear it from a less gloomy perspective that things will have to change. But, it's also really good to hear suggestions so that both sides can win!

    I want a baby- how do I keep a social life?

    @plaura94515 Thank you, that's a load off of my mind. Don't worry, I do want a toddler and a child and a teenager! (A baby is forever, not just for Christmas, haha) In some ways it might be easier, because I could talk to them and they would have their own interests and thoughts. But I think I...

    I want a baby- how do I keep a social life?

    @hiwaystar You make a really good point. I am not trying to trick her, and I suspect she might know the hardships better than me, since her age gap with her siblings is a bit larger than the one I have with my brother. Looking back, I think I have a habit of trying to sugarcoat stuff like this...

    I want a baby- how do I keep a social life?

    @jwright First off, I wanted to thank you for your response. This is my first post on Reddit, and the responses I have gotten have been really helpful. I am early in posing this question, but I get anxious. I guess it's more that I want reassurance for my partner's sake as well, since they're...

    I want a baby- how do I keep a social life?

    @oldsaint Hello, and thank you for your advice! Don't worry, I am not that much of a social butterfly, haha. I like playing DnD, but with my partner as well. I get that having a baby is a huge, huge change, but I am also worried about having a baby too late? I shouldn't be, my parents had me...

    I want a baby- how do I keep a social life?

    @2tim_215 Thank you. Really, honestly thank you. It's good to hear that while it will be a big change, that it's /change/ not necessarily just loss. We're pretty much homebodies as it is right now, and I don't mind that changing (albeit for different reasons) but it's nice to hear that I might...

    I want a baby- how do I keep a social life?

    @2tim_215 That's a fair point, and thank you! Honestly we weren't really planning on breastfeeding, mostly for the routine of formula and allowing my partner to have as much input, but we might revisit that bridge when it actually comes time to cross it so to speak. Thank you for your advice...

    I want a baby- how do I keep a social life?

    @nisa You're right, it would take a lot of planning. I should really take that into account, thank you. I'm just worried about "the best laid plans of mice and men" and all that. But still, having a general plan/routine should help, and give us contact with the outside world that isn't baby...

    I want a baby- how do I keep a social life?

    @hiwaystar Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to reply, especially so in depth! You make a really good point about other people having babies at the same time. I think I am just worried about it going forward because several of our friends have indicated that they don't want kids at...

    I want a baby- how do I keep a social life?

    Hi, I'm 23f. I guess I've always been a little baby crazy, but it's more of an abstract thought process than an actual biological concern at the moment. I was a relatively easy baby and so was my partner, but I also know that my parents had a lot of support that I might not have because of money...
