This was the part that worried me. Are you basing that "feeling" on the fact that you had sex with your BF at precisely your most fertile time of month? Or on the fact that, deep down, you know you're already pregnant or feel fairly certain the chance is high?

Because if it's the other--and you don't think or know you're already pregnant--then it's probably just a phase. Happened twice with me as I was maturing and I'd see babies'/kids' little faces and imagine the romantic aspect of it all, particularly during times when I was particularly taken with a boyfriend and feeling a touch of the "nesting" instinct kick in with him. I had two friends who had the mommy urge when, on some level, they were hoping to get pregnant and hasten a desired marriage proposal (a very bad idea and strategy that backfired in both instances). And I had one friend who went through the urge to breed when she was disillusioned with college and wanted a reason to drop out. Sometimes it happens when girls/women are looking for more love than they're getting currently.

For the sake of the fun you're having now and need to keep having, your future, and your future kids' happiness, let's hope this is just a passing phase. Babies and children are charming and a great joy for people who like babies and children and want to spend 20 - 25 years raising and supporting them. But even under the best of circumstances when they're planned for and you have plenty of money, a solid marriage, college educations completed and good jobs in hand, it's a huge and overwhelming responsibility. It turns your life, your priorities, your plans, and your finances upside down. The reality of parenting isn't all just "ooohs" and "aaahhhs" and cuddles and rocking. It's bone-draining fatigue, additional stresses on a young marriage/relationship, impossibly expensive medical and babycare costs, and changes to your body, your sex life, and your hormones that you can't yet really fathom. It's hard work and serious responsibility. Wish I'd played for 10 more years before we had ours!
