Becoming a parent is undoubtedly one of the most significant life-changing experiences. As the idea of having a child starts to bloom in your mind, it is important to reflect on various aspects of life, emotional readiness, and practical considerations. This article aims to guide you through 101 questions that will help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your desires, and your preparedness for starting a family.

1. Self-Reflection and Emotional Preparedness:

  • Am I emotionally mature enough to handle the responsibilities of parenthood?
  • Have I explored my own childhood experiences and processed any unresolved issues?
  • Do I have a stable and supportive relationship with my partner?
  • Have I considered the potential impact of having a child on my career and personal aspirations?

2. Financial Preparedness:

  • Have I assessed my financial readiness to support a child?
  • Do I have a stable income and a secure financial future?
  • Have I considered the costs associated with pregnancy, childbirth, and raising a child?
  • What are my plans for childcare and education expenses in the future?

3. Lifestyle and Personal Sacrifices:

  • Am I willing to make changes to my current lifestyle for the sake of my child?
  • What impact will having a child have on my social life and leisure activities?
  • Am I ready to prioritize the needs of a child over my own desires?
  • How do I envision balancing my personal interests with parenting responsibilities?

4. Support System and Resources:

  • Do I have a strong support system in place, including family and friends?
  • Have I considered the availability of healthcare resources in my area?
  • What are the community resources and support groups available to new parents?
  • How will I handle the challenges of parenting without a strong support network?

5. Parenting Values and Methods:

  • What values and principles do I want to instill in my child?
  • Have I researched different parenting methods and approaches?
  • How do I plan to handle disciplining and setting boundaries for my child?
  • Am I open to adapt my parenting style based on the needs and personality of my child?

These are just a few examples of the numerous questions you should consider before embarking on the journey of parenthood. Taking the time to ponder over these inquiries will help you gain clarity, evaluate your readiness, and make informed decisions when the time is right.

Remember, there's no right or wrong answer to these questions. The goal is to reflect on your desires, expectations, and capabilities to ensure the best possible outcome for you and your future child.

This book gathers the authentic questions from several mothers who would have wished to know a few things about pregnancy and parenting before they happen!

Because making a child is a life changing event.

Because conceiving a baby can be tricky.

Because expecting and delivering a baby can be overwhelming.

Because raising a child IS challenging!

For all these reasons, it is essential that couples reflect over several questions with the intent to:

1.      Check their alignment on a few complex and sensitive topics,

2.     Apprehend the responsibilities of becoming parents,

3.     Assess their overall readiness for the parenthood journey.

Acknowledging the difficulties won’t make the task simpler but it is an important step to get properly prepared.

In this short-read book, you will find various simple and thought-provoking questions such as:

·         Why do I want a child?

·         How can I avoid passing my own fears to my child?

·         To what extent would I accept to see my partner’s weaknesses in my child?

·         What ideals do I have for my child?

·         And much more!

Even if the wish of having a baby is not fully mature yet, this book will help you get a clearer thought on it and maybe better shape this beautiful project.
