Maternal Instincts

So I have been getting these strong emotional feelings to have a child to nuture. For about a year now.

Ever since I was little I knew that I wanted to have kids of my own. Throughout my teenage years the feeling would strengthen but I knew the timing was not right (finacially and emotionally).

I am now 19. And for about a year I have been getting these strong emotional nuturing needs that I feel are not getting fullfilled. I’ve had pets all my life, and I’ve felt like I’ve tried to nurture them to fullfill that need. Or possibly something lacking from childhood. I’m not sure….

Anyways…so about every month right before and during my period I get this need to nuture something….whether it be my sisters kids, strangers children, etc… I love snuggling with my neice and nephews because I can feel how much they love me and how much I love them …Although it still does not compeletly fill the need…I snuggle my dog and I have such a strong bond with her…but it just feels like somethings missing…
The only time I feel completely satisfied is when I am snuggling/making love with my boyfriend.

I feel like I am emotionally ready to have a child but not finacially at all…

It’s really confusing trying to get my mind and body to communicate…is this what is happening??

I’m just curious to whether anyone else has ever or is going through the same thing?

Yes. That is your biological urge to procreate and raise young. That’s what keeps the species going. :)

Oh yeah, instincts don’t bother to consult with the brain. So they don’t care you don’t have $!

Those little bastards! lol jk Its just that I kinda need to control the urge somehow…It really builds up after awhile of rejecting it because I cant afford to use it…(Or letting it get to the point where I start crying…I think thats just PMS though..lol) Better start saving my money I guess….lol

I have two children aged 1 and 2 who run me ragged yet at certain times of the month I want nothing more than to have more, its a natural hormone thing. Wait though until it feels like the right time all of the time because they are hard work once they are there. Being around kids does help though, so maybe babysit for friends and take your niece and nephew off of your siblings hands for the odd day and you get to nurture without any of the stresses - worked for me!

Help me with: B-O-R-E-D.
