Baby planning time - Affording a baby

Deciding to have a baby is one of the most momentous decisions of your life. Don't RUSH into it. Take your time...What may seem right today might not be the best when you wake up tomorrow!

It is best to decide about starting or expanding a family when you and your partner are emotionally and financially able to do so. A child needs love, care and a secure family to grow up in and there is not much point in having a baby when you and your partner are having problems with your own relationship.

A tiny being with even smaller hands and feet, your baby will have many needs and you must consider the financial implications carefully before going forward. When you both feel you are ready, of course its the right time to go ahead and start trying. Having a baby at the right time can be the most rewarding experience of your lifetime. In fact keeping track of your fertile times, figuring out pregnancy kits - is all part of the fun!
