Alright what are your thoughts?

Mike and I have been together for over 9 years. We met when I was 14. We have only been married a month. I know that he want's a baby. He says it everyday. I would like one to. We are kind of trying with the feelings if it happens it happens if it doesn't it doesn't. Did anyone else feel like strange with their parents I now I sound lke a 12 year old but Whenever someone gets pregnant on their honeymoon or shortly after my dad always passes the comment 'they didn't wait to long!' I am almost embarresed to get pregnant because of it I dont want people to including him to say that about me I might be crazy.

Do any of you say this when someone gets pregnant right away!

Nah...I think it is great...As long as both of you are ready for the responsibility, then who cares if you get pregnant on your HM or two months afterwards...You can't let someone's comments affect your life...Someone could pass the same comment if you have your 2nd child quickly after the first...I say go for it!

the question is are you two ready for it??? Who cares what anyone else thinks...you can't please everyone and there will ALWAYS be someone with an opinion.

Do what is right for you two...this is YOUR family.

LOL I am 27 and my DH is 32 - and we both feel that way - like when we get pg that we will be 'in trouble' with our parents - like they will scold us for not waiting 5 years or something!

That is so funny that you said that. I am 29 and DH is 35. We got married in October and I became pregnant in January. We told the parents right away and DH said to me 'I feel funny telling your Dad like he is going to be mad at me or something' I did feel a little funny infront of him at first but now we are both over it. As long as you both are ready thats all that matters.

This thought never entered our minds, but the sick thing is whenever someone announces they are expecting I'm always like 'oooh they do IT', see I'm a loser! haha!

I wouldn't worry about what anyone thinks... I was married in October and pregnant 5 months later, the only thing my dad said was 'I thought you were going to wait'... but I think it's because the shock of becoming a grandfather hit him before anything else... now he could care less what we did to get to this point (well maybe he cares, but he won't say anything)... Whew, okay I'm done!

The truth is that people will always have something to say regardless of when you get preggo. If you wait longer than you want, people will say, 'Oh, it's about time!' What I'm trying to say is, 'Do what you feel is right for you and DH!' Baby Dust to you!

no you dont!

Thank you. We have been together forever. We have enoyed life and traveled. Wen are ready for the next step of life.

I feel like that too becuase Im young ( almost 26) but we've been married almost
2 years and Im really starting to get the baby itch . But I know that people are
going to say we are too young blah blah blah but I still think its our decision but I want
people to be happy for me- not shocked- ya know.

I was 26 when I announced I was pregnant and I WISH someone told me they thought I was too young, lol!!! I come from a family where my mother was my age already with THREE kids so me getting married at 26 was odd for everyone!

You are never too young or too old, whatever time you decide will be the RIGHT time and that's all the matters!!!

I feel the same way...people always have something to say. I already told DH if we decide to have a baby and someone says about time - I will smack them....I know I didn't feel ready until recently and I am 31 years old. I had certain goals I wanted to achieve before stepping into the world of children. What is right for one person is not right for everyone. I know one of DH's friends have been on our case for waiting. We have only been married a year and half (although dating for over 6 years). Just because they got pregnant 2 months after getting married - doesn't mean it is right for everyone!!! Everyone should go one their own pace.

Personally, I think you just have to make sure your relationship is emotionally prepared for the change. Also try to be in a prepared mentally and financial state as best as possible and do what is right for you - to heck with everyone else.

I'm going through the same EXACT thing.!! We just got married too (same day as you ) and we said if it happens it happens. We both want children ASAP.. but I'm going through the same thoughts as you telling my parents..

We decided not going to wait for what everyone else thinks is the 'right time'.. We both want to start a family now, so we'll see what happens..

I should know w/ in the next 2 weeks..

Lots of Luck!!!

WOW u and I sound a like even the part about knowing within the next 2 weeks. LOTS of luck to u 2. Baby Dust!!!!

I've realized that no matter what, someone will always have a comment. You can't worry about what anyone is going to say/not say, even your parents. We're in the opposite situation, we're waiting, and we're getting 'Are you trying? When do you think you'll have kids?' Umm... we wanted to adjust to living w/ eachother first and being married! People usually don't think before they speak..

and - much baby dust girlies!!!!

Thank You. No baby this month but Im kinda happy!

Hi, I'm jsut butting in her for a sec ( I'm not TTC)

Acquataintences of mine had a baby around there 1 yr anniversary.
When I found out they were expecting, I was a little surprised, b/c personally I'd like a little time without kids, but I figured either, they don't believe in birth control, or they jsut really want kids. I thought maybe they want to have a bunch so they wanted to start soon! They are about 29/30 though.
