Re: Want to know when the best time is

Hi there! There is NO right time for a baby! I no this from experience! I fell pregnant just 6 weeks after meeting my partner but the timing could not have been any worse i lost my job and had my doubts but as the pregnacy has progressed i found a new job a new home and me and my partner could not be happier! If you and your partner are happy for this to happen now then whats stopping you money is no issue i never have money and my baby aint here yet! lol! dont worry about your sister! its your choice and your life! Anyway there is more to a baby then the cost!!! i hope you get what you want

Congratulations if you are keep in touch

Re: Want to know when the best time is

HI, I would think a home pregnancy test at 2 weeks late should work acuratly at this stage ,if you still have not got them by another 2 weeks maybe a trip to the DRs for a blood test would be best.

As for the money side of having a baby as long as you can afford the bare essentials for your baby ,nappies ,formular( if you choose not to breast feed)clothing as babies they dont need alot and as for the rest you can collect while pregnant ,my husband and I were not really financually ready to start a family when we had our first child but we were ready in our relationship.If you are in australia you are now entitled to the baby payment when your baby is born not sure how much it is nowadays  maybe about $3000 -$4000(parents are so lucky these days when I had my four children there was no such thing).If you use this money wisely you need not struggle raising your baby.Babies dont need to cost alot if you are prepared to buy second hand things as we did.The most important thing you can give a baby is love and that doesn't cost a cent .

                                                 Good luck Cham

Re: Want to know when the best time is

Here is an advice I wrote on when to use a pregnancy test. http://www.minti.com/parenting-advice/3814/When-to-Use-a-Home-Pregnancy-Test/

Generally, home pregnancy test kits can detect pregnancy up to a week or (even 2) before your next expected period. But it is more accurate the closer you are to your expected period though. If you want to be sure and not feel like you wasted your money, taking it after you'v ealready missed your period should be accurate enough.

So taking one now (since you're 2 weeks late) should give you an accurate result. Good luck.

Re: Want to know when the best time is
I HAVE 9 KIDS AND WE HAVE NEVER HAD MUCH MONEY,BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE LOVE THEM ANY LESS.When you fall pregnant,that's the right time,even if you dont think it at the time.You are allowed to be excited,thrilled,worried,scared,EXHILERATED.Its an important time in your life and you are allowed all those feelings.Dont let anyone tell you how to think or feel,its up to you and your husband.I wish you all well.

Re: Want to know when the best time is
hello if it is any help to you the time to have a baby is when you are both ready it doesn't mean you have to have a heap of money my husband and i were in serious debt when we had our son adn still are in debt with number 2 on the way everyone told us not to have a child till we had money but the way things are going everything is expensive so it doesn't matter all a child needs is clothes on there back and loads of love from you and your poartner thats all that matters if you can provide that then that will do a child can not get through life without love but they can without money thats how they get to spoilt when you have money to blow on anything and everything they want. hope this helps

Re: Want to know when the best time is

I agree with all the comments concerning your sisters opinion, this is not her decision but you and your partners, as for waiting for the time when you can "afford" to have a child (which I believe doesn't exist) you may not be able to concieve then, I say grab this chance with both hands, you will manage and the most important that you can give your child is love and security forget about the material things.

Now go do another test and then if you are still unsure visit the doctor, I hope all works out for you, please let us know the result and as for your sister tell her to mind her own!

love Clare x

Re: Want to know when the best time is
Absolutely agree with BrightonBelle comment...

I also like to add if we all waited around until to we were fiancial enough, we wouldnt have the joys of knowing what the best feeling it is to have a child that looks up to us as the best person in this world that is here to protect, lovv. and provide what we can for them...

You and your husband need to make those choices no one else can..

Re: Want to know when the best time is

the best time is when you feel you both are ready without input from others. I went through the same with my second the point of money etc but the money wasn't that important because you will have nine months to get the things you need for a baby its weather you are ready and if you are go ahead you have to keep in mind also that there are people who will help you also. But go ahead you sound like you've thought about it.

A second test should be done about now it normally takes about 2-3 weeks for the body to start producing the new hormones that come with pregnacy

Re: Want to know when the best time is
when you have a child, it's not about the money....and sooo many people question this!
When you have a baby (or are considering having one) you need to think about how much love you can provide this baby, and how much attention. Would you be willing to go bankrupt for your child if terrible things happened marital status wise and u wanted custody?
You need to question the amount of love you can give and attention too. Fine, babies need to be clothed and fed and have a roof over their head....and money gives you that....but with the strong bonds and never ending love....it will always get you through!
