Honeymoon Babies

Is anyone planning on getting pregnant right after their wedding? My FH wants to get pregnant so badly. I'm just wondering if it's a bad idea, I keep saying that we should have some alone time together first. Any thoughts?

BTW. I really do want kids really bad. Just unsure about the timing.

Are you challenged by age or something? I can't imagine getting pregnant on my honeymoon. You need time to adjust to being married. How long have you been togather? Do you live togather now?
I'm 27 and FH is 30 and we're waiting at least 2 year before we even think about it.

I agree...I definitly want some alone time with my new husband before we have children. I'm almost 30 and my FH is 28 and we're in no rush to have children. Quite frankly, we don't know if we even want any, but that's just our opinion.

As much as I would want a baby now. I still want to wait at least two years before getting pregnant. We need to live together as a married couple before I bring a child into this world....thats just my thought...

Re: Honeymoon Babies

its a very personal decision is my thought, but in general i would think you'd want some time to adjust to be married. i'll be 30 when i get married and FH and i will wait for at least two years. we have a savings goal to meet before kids, FH will make a transition out of the Navy, i'd like to finish my masters, and we know theres NO going back so we're being selfish about some more time just for us before making the big commitment to kids. just some thoughts we had.

I want a honeymoon baby But my fh wants to wait till we are set with a house and then have a baby. But lets see what happens.

I think it's a very personal decision. When FH and I get married we'll be together for 3 years. We probably won't be trying to get pregnant on our honeymoon but probably within 6 months after our wedding. Age isn't a factor for us, but we feel that we've spent enough alone time together and want to start a family. Hopefully, we'll squeeze in a trip to Europe before we have another little person to worry about! For us, starting our family is one of our top priorities.

FH and I discussed this too...we can't afford to buy a house and we will be living in an apartment and I'd rather raise a baby in a home so we're planning on the two year range...although I'd like one right now! lol...ok I'll wait till after the wedding

Re: Honeymoon Babies

even though the clock is ticking a little bit (i will be 30 this summer), our careers won't allow us to have a baby for at least 2 years. even if we could, though, i would want to wait a while to get adjusted to being married. in my opinion, too much change (even good things!) at one time can be overwhelming... but having said that, it's a very personal decision and if you're both ready i say go for it!

Re: Honeymoon Babies

It IS a very personal decision, one that only you two should make together. I am really looking forward to having a child and will be 30 when I get married. We've agreed to wait a year (I would like 2 and to be done by 35) but it really depends on so many different factors. My FH lived together for 3 years when we get married and don't anticipate a big 'change' when we actually get married. But we love to travel so much that we would really like to be able to have that time to do so before a little one comes along adn changes our entire lives

Re: Honeymoon Babies

i am making him wait 5 years - I want a career first, and I am only 25. although we have lived together, I really want time to feel solid in our marriage. i want to have a firm philosophy on how we are going to raise our kids, and I want the financial freedom to provide for them.

If he had it his way, we would start trying now! He is 32 and i think his biological clock is ticking away...

Re: Honeymoon Babies

How many times have I had this discussion. I will try my hardest to get pregnant as soon as possible. FH wants to even start trying a month before we get married. I will be 31 and he will be 29. Financially we will be set and we will be together for 4 1/2 years by the time we get married and we basically live together now so I'm not worried about that kind of stuff. My clock is ticking away. My sister also has problems with having a baby so I am afraid I may run into problems, so I want to try asap!! I too want to have 2 and be done by 35.

We have joked about it, but are waiting at least 3 years. I'm only 25, God willing we can get pregnant when I'm around 28.

Re: Honeymoon Babies

We really want to spend some alone time together as husband and wife before we start a family. We're thinking two years should be enough time..we'll see. You can't really plan something like this.. you can try but it may not turn out the way you want it to.

Re: Honeymoon Babies

That would be a big no for me.
I am so not ready!

Re: Honeymoon Babies

I would love too - but FH will still be in school for 2 years, so we'll probably wait at least 3 - we're still young though (i'll be a month shy of turning 23 when we get married, he'll be a month shy of 24).

We'll probably won't try for a while - but what happens happens

We are waiting at least two years after marriage. We need to get our financials back in order and I'm not ready to shafe FH with anyone just yet. Call me selfish but I enjoy it just being us.

We're waiting a year or maybe a little less.

Re: Honeymoon Babies

We are probably waiting a year and a half to try. I can't wait too much longer because I do have the biological clock ticking. (I will be 31 when we get married and we want 2 kids)

By the time we get married, we will be together for almost 6 years, so it's not the spending time alone together, done that, and we will be living together for more than 2 years when we get married, so we also don't need to adjust, but I do want a house first, so that is part of our consideration.

I am going to talk to my Dr though to make sure nothing will be compromised by waiting until I am almost 33 to start trying.

Re: Honeymoon Babies

It is a personal descision however FH and I are planning on getting pregnant that night! We have been together for over 10 years and own a home together that is why we are comfortable to make that descicion. I know everyone thinks they must have all these other things first before having a child but I think that whether or not we had a home we are ready to have children. I can sacrifice the material things and if it is really what you want I say go for it!!
