One of the most important choices we make in our lives is whether to have a child or not. Of course there are plenty of aspects to bear in mind and discuss before pregnancy. One thing to remember is to have a baby because both of you want and need it.

Reasons such as curing your breakdown by giving birth to a baby are inappropriate in this case. You should put pregnancy off if you are not emotionally ready for a bigger family. Here what you are supposed to think over before you decide to have a baby:

1. Assistance
No matter how much you love your baby, from time to time you will need assistance. In spite of you being totally ready and willing to take all responsibilities, it is good if you have someone else who will substitute you in case of emergency. Ask your parents if they would agree to help you to raise your child. If you do not have close people around, then think of having a dry nurse who will teach you how to take care of babies.

2. Relationship
How would you rate your relationship with your current partner? If you feel that the person you are with is trustworthy and reliable, then having a child is great. The baby will grow in a full family where parents love and respect each other. Do not get pregnant in hope to save your relationship. Breakup is inevitable and a child will only cause more complications. Only when you are in a strong relationship with your partner can you think of having children.
