So I need some advise from the only people that understand the bodybuilding mentality.

I've been happily married for 7 years now and have accomplished a lot but I seem to keep putting off having a baby. I first delayed it cause of competing, then to finish my Masters Degree, then to compete again. I competed in March (figure)and qualified for NPC Nationals!! I was soo excited! I did that comp as my 'last' one and didn't go into it expecting to qualify. But..I did.

I know having a baby will change everything and realistically it may mean giving up competing. I have a demanding job and I spend 2 hours in the car everyday driving to/from work. Having a baby will make this even more difficult not to mention fitting training in!! Not gonna happen.

Has anyone else had this dilemma?? What if I wait and do a National show then want to do another and another...?? I'm not getting any younger and my husband is 4 years older than me. He's wonderful and supportive but he's a little tierd of me delaying over and over.

Has anyone else gone through this? I would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom or advise!!

you are not required to have children. if you can't have both you need to choose. some will tell you that you can have it all but reality says not everyone can have everything. sad, but a fact.
just a thought.
