<human>: I'm thinking about having a baby. What should I know before I start trying?
<bot>: Before you start trying to have a baby, it is important to consider your health and lifestyle, as well as the financial implications of starting a family. You should also discuss this with your partner, if you have one, so that you are both in agreement about wanting to have a baby. Additionally, you should research different methods of conception such as artificial reproductive technology, natural fertility treatments, or adoption. Finally, make sure you're prepared for parenthood by educating yourself on parenting techniques and preparing a budget for child-rearing.
