PugMom

We were ambivalent about having kids for a LONG time (also into our mid 30s). I eventually realized I would feel better if I tried and if it didn’t work then oh well and I would go on happily with our pug. It took a year but we did get pregnant and my daughter is now 7 months old and I love her more than I thought possible (but did not feel that way until after 3 months old). I do feel more complete with her.
A few things to note: we had a senior special needs dog so already were used to adapting our lives and making compromises.
My husband is also very supportive and an equal parent and I suspect I would have been much unhappier and stressed if this wasn’t the case.

At least for me thinking “would I regret not trying?” helped me decide.
