Get a puppy.

I'm serious. Get a Shi-Tsu, if you don't mind their funny-looking face. Their bodies are soft and rounded like a baby's, and cuddling them feels exactly like a furry baby. They want nothing more than to be with you and be cuddled by you and be groomed, fed, pampered, and mothered as much as you like.

A dog takes up less time and gives you that unconditional love and outlet for mothering instincts that we crave. And they stay that way their whole lives, unlike human children; you only have that feeling of complete closeness until they start walking, and then you start an 18-year process of slowly letting go.

My 2 cents: Definitely don't have a baby now. You have plenty of time for motherhood, and it will be much more difficult to have your baby AND pursue your education/career at the same time. Unlike your uterus, you education and career cannot be put on hold without suffering badly. Wait until you're ready to focus on your baby before you have one. It's not like you are deciding "Baby or no Baby," just "Baby now, or baby later."
