Some women have been revealed to be worried about being labelled as a ‘part-time’ mother if they worked, or said they feared it would be ‘impossible’ to meet the expectations of their in-laws, friends and colleagues.
The report by the Pregnancy Advisory Service also found out that one of the main reasons for women putting off starting a family was the struggle to find Mr Right.

Other concerns included not feeling ready for the responsibility a child, not owning their own home or simply not having enough money.
All of which are actually irrational fears and they can only be put to rest when one becomes a mother so feel free to go for it as soon as is convenient.
