I always told myself I would have a kid before I was 30. I think we were taught in OB last semester that studies have shown having a child before you are 30 decreases your risk of having breast cancer. It has something to do with the hormonal changes your body goes through during and after the pregnancy. After I heard that I was like DAMN!! i gotta start having kids soon!! (i'll be 28 this may and 29 by the time i'm married).

I'll be 24 when I get married and I plan on getting pregs soon after..I can't wait to have children. I might wait a few months because FH and I plan on getting our own place about a month before ..so I'd like to get a little settled first...

I'd like to have my first kid at around 23-24, I think I want to be done having kids by 30, or during my early thirties at the latest..

I'll be 25 soon and I'll be 26 1/2 when we get married. I would like to start trying during the honeymoon or soon after. I have a feeling it might take awhile.

FH would rather us wait a couple of years before having kids so we can save money. I want 2 kids before 30 if possible, so to me, the sooner the better! If he wanted to wait a few years after marriage, he should have proposed earlier!
