By Penny McKenzie

 

Can I get pregnant?

What if I can't?

 When is the best time?

 What do I need to take before we try to conceive?

 When do I start taking Folate?

 What else do I need to do?

 Do I need to have injections? I HATE needles!

 When will I go back to work?

 Will I WANT to go back to work?

 Can we afford for me to stay home?

 OUCH - how painful will the delivery be?

 What if I can't breastfeed?

 Will I want my mother here - or would we prefer to settle in by ourselves?

 Should I see a doctor now?

 How long will it take to conceive?

 Do we use second hand baby items or buy everything new?

 When should we decorate the baby's room?

 When will I feel the baby move?

 Will I have twins?

 Cloth nappies or disposables?

 Will I be a good mum?

 Will we still go camping?

 Will the baby be healthy?

 What will the baby be like?

 Will he/she cry all the time or be quiet and settled?

 Will my baby have heart problems like my brother's first child?

 Will we be able to cope with the lack of sleep?

 Where will we christen our baby?

 Will the baby look like me or my husband .. or just like him/herself?

 Will I cry out of pure happiness - or exhaustion - or both?

 When will we have another child?

 How many should we have?

 

Above are just a FEW of the questions that have been running around my head since we decided to start our family.
