A flame for being indecisive on this issue?
No chance! This is IMHO THE most important
decision which you are ever likely to make
in your life, so take as much time making
up your mind as you need. Babies are the most
wonderful beautiful splendid little creatures,
but very few parents would say they are easy
or that they don't change your life. So... if
you're not ready for them or don't truly want
them... you're in big trouble!
(BTW, we waited four years before deciding we'd
like a baby and promptly had one 9.5 months later,
so I can't say anything about the difficulties
which can happen through waiting a long time
and then having difficulties conceiving.)
