Is it just a natural thing to start longing for a baby when you get older?

I don’t even have a boyfriend and I’m only 18 and I find myself longing for a baby? I used to never even want kids and now I find myself always browsing this section and at my part-time job I love seeing all the babies in the strollers and can’t wait until I become a mom!!

Obviously I’m NOT going to do something stupid and go get pregnant, but is this just a natural thing at my age? Or am I really strange?

I think it’s pretty normal. It happens at different times for everyone, but biologically we’re wired to want to reproduce.

Nope. It’s normal. I think as you get older and mature you see things differently. You start thinking about finding “Mr. Right” and settling down and having a family.
It’s also the novelty of it. There are so many adorable babies and cute baby strollers, clothes, ect. With all of this it just makes having a baby seem like a dream.
And it is a dream, but can also be a nightmare at times…Life changes drastically when you have a baby. You’ll never ever be prepared for it.
Anyway, you’re not crazy, but you’re not nearly at the age to hear your “biological clock” ticking. lol. Give it time and one day you’ll make a great mommy.

I’m 17 and I kinda get the same thing sometimes. I love spending time with kids (especially my nephews) and I am always thinking ‘Oh wow I can’t wait until I have a baby!’ Although I know that it’s a lot of work and I’m too young (and like you, I don’t even have a boyfriend), I still can’t help but to think about what it will be like one day when I am a mommy!
I think its just something that happens to everyone at one time or another. I guess it means that your “maternal instincts” are kicking in. For me, I know that whenever I hear a little kid cry in a store, I want to go comfort them.
I don’t think that you’re really strange. If you are, then I’m strange right along with you! Lol
Hope this helps =)

It’s normal. I been wanting a baby since I was 21 and I didn’t have one til I was 26.

It is purely natural.

Heh, I felt the same way, I got married at 19 and pregnant at 20. But I knew since I was 16 that I wanted a large family, it made me feel weird, but honestly that’s how most women feel.
