Theres a lot of pressure from family side to plan a baby soon but honestly im not mentally ready yet. Just wanna know if its okay to say no for now, anyone else felt this way? Feeling a bit guilty na.
Yes, if you feel physically or mentally unready, you have every right to refuse. If there are health concerns, you can also consult a doctor together to understand the physical readiness.
It is completely your choice! I also had long discussions with my husband before we decided to conceive because it's a huge life change. Did your family pressure you?
Absolutely, it is 100% your body and your decision. I waited till I felt mentally ready because raising a child takes immense energy, so don't let anyone pressure you.
I used to panic thinking I wasn't ready to be a mom and felt so guilty about wanting to wait. It is completely normal to refuse or want more time, please talk openly with your partner.
