All I can say is yes its normal, I've been going through this for a the past year since Dh and I got married. Its only since last Christmas that I've had no doubts at all and finally accepted that yes I want a baby and now is the time to go for it.
It probably doesn't help that I'm a planner and babies are very difficult to plan for as you don't necessarily conceive when you want to, and once you are preggers they'll arrive when it suits them to. I think its a way of planning for mother hood with all its uncertainties and challenges ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

| I'm with you sweatpea - I have feeling like that all the time it has really only been this year that I have had more times of wanting a baby than not so I guess that's a good sign. |

For the second time today I am with you 100% sweetpea 
It's a HUGE decision and one I'm not taking lightly. I started this thread awhile ago that might give you some insight into how others feel about it..... http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24692&PN=3 - Thread |

I am sure everyone has little doubts while they are starting to plan or think about a family.
I have been looking forward to TTC for ages, and now that is just about here I keep on thinking of things that DH and I normally do that we won't be doing once we have a family. But, the joy and the excitement of our own little person will far out weigh anything we might be missing from our previous lives. |

Can't say I felt that way but then we tried for 18 months before even gettting pregnant so were more than ready. -------------

I am soo glad lots of people feel exactly the same way I do!
Here I was expecting that everyone on here would have no doubts and be 'full steam ahead' so to speak... Ill have a day where Im all clucky etc then the next Im thinking ooh an overseas trip would be nice in 6 months.... Im all over the place.
