Our next reason for why we love being early moms: There’s no biological clock ticking in the back of our minds.
In this respect, we’re actually quite lucky. Think about it: If you didn’t have your own little bundle(s), wouldn’t you be a teeny bit stressed about what ifs? Maybe not in an obvious way, but somewhere in the back of your mind you might be thinking, What if I never find the right guy? What if I wait too long to have a baby? What if I can’t have babies…?
But Early Mamas never have to worry about that. We’ll never have to be panicking 35 year olds, desperately searching for someone to start a family with. We’ll never have to face a looming deadline in our minds. We’ll never have to freeze our eggs and hope for the best.
And that? That’s something to be grateful for every day.
If you have a reason you love being an Early Mama, send me an email or tweet your reason with the hashtag #earlymama. I’m creating a monster list to prove that being a 20-something mom is actually quite awesome, despite the judgment and assumptions.
Everytime my friends do something more ‘exciting’ than me (buy their first home, go overseas, reach a new career high) and I get jealous, I think about an older friend who has all of those things but would trade them in a heartbeat for the opportunity to have kids. I’m so blessed to have my babies- everything else will come.
I couldn’t agree more, such a blessing!
