Hi, I (30F) and my husband (35M) are starting to think about having kids.
I am extremely nervous because I didn’t have the best childhood, don’t really have a “village”.
I know people say you are never “truly” ready. We both have good careers and stable income, we own our home etc.

But what were some things that helped you realize you were in a good place to starting trying to have kids.
Some advice you can share on how you felt, things you feel like you wish you knew before, during. Parenting books you wish you read, things you talked to your doctors about before. Basically any advice you can share or wish someone told you before you tried to have a baby.

Thanks!
