How Has Having A Baby Changed Your Life For The Better?

I’ve never particularly wanted to have a child. I don’t go all googley-eyed at other peoples’ babies (in fact, I find it annoying). However, my husband would like a child someday and so I’m considering it. He said if I never feel ready then we just won’t do it, but I’m curious as to how it’s changed people’s lives for the better. I have this fear that it will ruin our lives because we’ll never have time for each other anymore and it’ll just give me something new to worry about 24/7 (my child and it’s health). I’m just looking for positive stories as to how having a baby affects a woman’s life and marriage in general.

  1. Well, before my first child I enjoyed the private time my husband and I shared and also hanging with my friends. But you know, once you have a child it changes for the better. You become more patient, you take the time to see things in a different nicer light, you realize that you have room to love even more, it’s fun, it’s educational, it makes you wiser, makes you appreciate the tiniest things in life, and you tend to laugh more everyday. Trust me, when you have a child of your very own, you can’t imagine life without him/her. Good luck and I’m sure you will have a plentiful and happy future.

    I never wanted children. When I was 22, I had my first of three children. He wasn’t planned and I was scared to death. I was a very “selfish” person. I love to go and to do and it was all about me. The night he was born was the best night of my life. He was perfect, he was the best thing I had ever done with my life. It is hard to learn to not be selfish with your time, but it is so worth it, when even now at 14, he throws his arm around my shoulders, kisses my cheek and says Luv ya Mom, melts my heart. I have three children and yes, I am tired and I stress, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. If you and your husband love each other and work together and TALK to each other, having a child doesn’t have to be a burden on your relationship.

  4. wow,
    my son has changed my life so much.i dont always have alone time for my fiance but its even better time when its our little family. my son has made me want so much more in life.i love the fact that for the rest of my life i have someone to be proud of. someone who will always be there. and someone i know will always love me.. i have a great relationship with my faincee but having our son made that relationship even bettereven though i do worry about him and his health its great to wake up and see him smiling at me. knowing i brought this little guy into the world is one of the most amazing feelings. he was’nt planned but i would’nt change having him for the life of me. he makes me happy..

  5. It’s not a cake walk but I get the sweetest hugs and kisses imaginable.
    If you don’t want a child and your husband is fine with that then I would’nt even worry about it. Quite frankly life will be easier without a child albeit maybe “emotionally empty”.
