Re: baby fever
If she "went there" to the point of giving you an anxiety attack, there is obviously some sort of a situation. Babies don't fix problems, they stress problems that are already there. I'd get whatever she's referencing well under control before you even come close to planning on TTC.
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
I mean this sincerely, I'd find a good therapist for yourself and a couples therapist for you and your boyfriend before you even think about having another kid. Your PPD took a toll on you, from the sounds of it and things aren't healthy at home.

This.
PPs aren't saying this stuff to be mean. You need to make your home situation as healthy as possible for your child and any potential child you may have.

I was thinking the same thing!!
I think she just wanted to sound more "mature" and ready for another by elevating him to husband status, but I'm betting he's still that same useless bf. Besides, by being married we wouldn't have anything but encouragement for her right?
OP, you need to spend some time working on yourself and your relationship. Adding another stressor like a child (or even a puppy) is a bad idea.

Counseling. And if you can't decide if you want a baby or a dog then you clearly don't know what you want ..they are SO different.. even if your relationship was perfect I wouldn't recommend a baby because it seems like you just want something "new" and "cute"Seriously not trying to be rude but seriously consider what everyone is saying.
