If you’re married and have been planning to have a baby lately, then cease the moment for a while. We all know that growing a kid these days isn’t a cakewalk anymore. Taking responsibility for the life of some other living being, teaching him about the principles of the society, the expenses, and everything else; it isn’t going to be easy. That’s why it is very important to check whether both of the parents are mentally, emotionally and physically ready to take up this responsibility. Sometimes, the other one isn’t willing to have a baby but he just nods his head under pressure. so discuss these things with your partner before planning a baby.
