Baby on the brain, our friends don't have kids :-(

My husband and I are 25 married for a year and a half, babies are on my brain like crazy... None of our friends have kids! I wish they did but they just don't , I guess I was hoping to have someone to have a play date with or go thru the process of being pregnant with, and we are the oldest in our families of kids so we will be the first to have kids. Anyone else In the same situation ?

    I'm not in a similar situation, but you shouldn't base your decisions on those around you. Different people are ready at different times. I have friends that are single, divorced, engaged, pregnant ... you name it! If you have a strong friendship, being at different life stages shouldn't change that. 

    On the bright side, you'll probably make new friends once you have a baby. Maybe you'll meet at a birth class, daycare, a mommy-and-me yoga class, etc. :) Good luck!

    Our oldest is 10, and still none of our friends have kids. However, I have made friends with other parents. Do what's right for you.

    At the time I got pg with ds1, no one had kids. Slowly, most of our married friends got pg too. Now I have a mix of single, married and parent friends. And I've made a ton of new friends with kids.

    You adapt very quickly. Have kids when it's right for you and no one else.

    When we started TTC none of our friends had kids- now some do, some don't. 

    But we have also made new friends as well.  We have made friends through daycare, playgroups, camps, etc.  

    I wouldn't put the cart before the horse and worry about what might happen.  If your ready to TTC then focus on that, the rest will work itself out.

    We have this problem too. We have a couple friends who have had children but aren't married or in the same mindset as us. They are all still dating, and going out to party and stuff while we are more on the traditional path, having been married about a year and are house hunting soon. We are baby crazy too but do not really want to say anything about when we will TTC because we do not need comments from friends or family on either end of the spectrum. I know what you mean though, it's hard when you have no one else to gush with over baby plans.

    True friends will stay through pregnancy and beyond. Some friends won't ever understand the priority change until they are put into parenthood. You find new friends, and it's great. I just make an effort to once or twice a year get together with all pre-kid friends. It is a nice getaway! Other than that, I don't see them much, but they all live 6 hours away. When they do come in town most make an effort to come by and see the girls.
