so i got a new doctor. that much is good. he says that he doesnt really like the idea of me getting pregnant (as did my old doctor and the other jerk of a doctor i saw last week) but at least he's willing to talk about it. there are two issues that are causing these three doctors to say that:
one is my mental state. i mean, my mental state is fine as long as i'm on medication. i dont forsee being able to go off of it but i think having a baby or not should be my decision.
and the other is my age. i'm 27. that's not that fucking young. why do the doctors keep telling me i have time? would they say that to anyone or is it just cause they are worried about my other factors?'
no i'm not 100% positive this is what i want. i mean, is anyone ever 100% positive ever? i worry about money and about my capabilities as a mom and about the pregnancy. but isnt that normal? i wanna do this when i am still young enough that i can chase after my child and have a good time at it. you know? so confused....

I'm 26, I have 2 kids, and I think that I'm one hell of a mom...so that aspect certainly is your decision.
If this doctor doesn't make you happy, try another. Even if they say similar things, a good one will be supportive and try to work with you even when he or she is offering their professional opinions. They should give you more of an explanation than 'just wait - you have plenty of time' as well.
