Well I do want a child. A little girl to be exact, but im not ready. Mainly im trying to adjust myself to being on my own, and being an adult. I dont think that my age is a factor for the way i feel but, i want to wait until im a bit older.

In addition to taking care of your body, you probably also want to consider the environment you'll be bringing the child into. Will he or she have their own room? Do you have a crib?

Also, you might want to try babysitting or watching other people's children as a way to get used to having kids around.

Well, that's a big question! Women need to make lots of preps to their bodies, including taking vitamins, going off coffee, getting physically fit, etc. Men, on the other hand, probably need more mental preparation than anything! And of course there's the whole financial preparedness aspect. Are you looking to have a child soon?
