We're going to start trying after we get married in sept but its driving me mad, if i see a baby i have to talk to it, i see pregnant women everywhere and i feel jealous, its like i woke up one morning and...

 As a man, even I have these urges. I have wanted to father a child for years now and been in the unfortunate situation where it is not financially, emotionally, or medically feasible with my wife. You are having the same craving that millions of adults your age and my age have: the need to fill an emptiness within our lives with something more than a pet or relative's child.Regardless of religious or moral sensitivities, having a child in a committed relationship is acceptable, no matter if there is a ring on your finger or even a marriage certificate / ceremony under your belt.Use your best judgement. Discuss this with your parents, your lover/future spouse and make the choice: are you ready for the financial, physical, emotional, and life-changing commitment of conceiving, carrying, and birthing a baby?If you truly want to wait until you are married, then volunteer to babysit your nephews, nieces, and neighbor's children. Learn now how to change diapers, how to feed and care for an infant, with all of the gruesome responsibilities involved. You'll be glad for the experience.The hormones you feel when you are around children are NORMAL and PART OF YOU. Embrace them and enjoy them. Being a parent is more than spreading your legs and receiving a gift from your lover. Your body becomes a precious cocoon for the one inside it and you will go through more physical changes (both bad and ugly) than you could ever imagine. In the end, it will all be up to you and your lover to make the call. WHEN it happens, enjoy your time alone together while you have it. Once that screaming tiny clone of yourself and your lover exits your body, you will never be the same.

Every day that passes where you don't have a baby is another day you can add to your roster of life experience, and that is wisdom you can pass down in the future.
