At least 6 months to a year after. We'll both be over 30 then.

Re: How long AFTER you are MARRIED do you PLAN on having CHILDREN

FH wants to wait 1 year after we are married to start trying. But I want one soon after our wedding. So we agreed that I will get off the pill after the wedding to clean my system out and then if it happens it happens. But we are going to wait at least 3-6 months before trying because we both want my system to be cleaned out.

Re: How long AFTER you are MARRIED do you PLAN on having CHILDREN

we're 24 and 28 now (will be those ages when we get married in 3 Months )... so we're going to wait at least 3 years. I want to be more settled in a career and we want a house first (and more traveling) before we have the added expenses. But, in the meantime, we're practicing Alot

I am in graduate school until May of 2007

So not before then. So I guess probably two to three years after we get married

Re: How long AFTER you are MARRIED do you PLAN on having CHILDREN

We will both be 29 when we get married. He really wants to have at least 2 years of alone time... but 1 year is good enough for me. I want to get started after 1 year of marriage.

I don't want to even discuss it until we're 30. We both turn 26 this week so at least 4 years before we even talk about when.

Babies kind of freak me out

eogara I love you! that's so honest and funny. I'm shaking my head laughing saying 'i'm not the only one!! I'm not the only one!!'

I'll be 32 when I get married. . . but I feel 22. I'd prefer to wait a number of years, but he's ready now..

Re: How long AFTER you are MARRIED do you PLAN on having CHILDREN

2-3 years would be ideal.
But on the other hand it seems SO soon, I don't know if we'll be ready.

I guess when we are ready, but minimum, 3 years.

Re: How long AFTER you are MARRIED do you PLAN on having CHILDREN

I am getting married about a month before my 30th b day.. FH will be 28.. I still want to do so many things before kids, so I have no clue. I guess I'll just know when it feels right-- but I am certainly in NO rush.

Re: How long AFTER you are MARRIED do you PLAN on having CHILDREN

We will probably wait a couple of years minimum. We got the house and are finishing it; that was one goal. But we have big aims to travel before kids. Also, I am at a point careerwise where I would like to be at the next level -- where things become more entrepreneurial and less corporate -- that is probably one year plus away. Then I will be freer to have kids on an advancement friendly schedule.
