> Tamar - I also agree that kids may not be the best answer for now perhaps. maybe I should wait for my marriage to solidify more.. just thinking - is 28 old enough for kids? in my country, people have kids as soon as they are married
Oh yeah! Sorry - I didn't mean to imply that you were too young - just that you are young enough to have plenty of time.
I was 29 when I had my first. And it wasn't exactly planned (neither was number three!). But although my pregnancy was a little unexpected and I felt a quite unprepared, it was actually lovely.
One thing I would mention is that pregnancy has a way of bringing all kinds of psychological issues to the fore. It's very common for people with a history of csa to find that pregnancy is very triggering. So I would say I hope you have plenty of psychological support when you decide to have a baby.
For what it's worth, I think you'll be a wonderful mom!
