I was just curious if any of you have had the discussion about children with your FH and how long after you married you will be having them? I have an itch right now cause Im at the age where it seams everyone around me is prego or getting prego! So as of Today I would love to get prego right away, but Im sure that will change.. how about you all?

I already have one darlig little boy, I am waiting at least 2-3 more years before I have another one. He is enough to handle as it is and he is not even out of diapers yet.

He is adorable!!!

We want to start trying right away. We will both be 30 when we get married. And there are some health reasons too...Doc said we need to get MOVIN. We live together already though, and did the whole puppy thing, so we have had our time, now it's time for our child.

Waiting 1-2 years, we want to travel and be selfish for a while

We plan on waiting at least 3 years for the same reason. My parents had me right away (only 7 monthes later, you do the math) and I think they regret not having a little bit of time to themselves.
You need to get used to living with eachother (if you aren't already) before throwing a baby into the mix.

I wanted to right away since I am getting older. FH wants to wait. We will see. If it happens it happens.

Same here

Re: How long to you have children?

We both say atleast 3 years.. we will both just have our masters when we get married, and be finishing our first year teaching. I worked way too hard to get this degree to go out on maternity leave during my 'tenure' years.. hehe. Plus, it will be the first time that we live together just him and I, so it definitely calls for being selfish and cherishing our alone years. Our family of 2 will be just perfect.. .

Re: How long to you have children?

My future hubby and I have never really discussed this, however we both want children really bad. I am going to answer this for myself...I say two years that way we get to know each other and celebrate married life together before throwing any thing else into the mix!!

Re: How long to you have children?

We are waiting at least 4-5 years, Ill be 25 when we get married, so we'll probably try when im 29-30..There are so many things that we want to do and need to do (house, a job for me) before we can start having kids..

Re: How long to you have children?

i sooooo want a hm baby!!! but, we don't have a place to live as of now and we cannot afford to start looking yet - so it'll be a few years after we're married. but i'll be 30 this year and i really don't want to wait too long after that

Re: How long to you have children?

As much as I would love a honeymoon baby, FH wants to wait a few months after we get back from the honeymoon to start trying. I told him that my age won't help things (I'll be close to 36 by then) and you drop fewer eggs as you get older. I have never been pregnant, and I do not know how long it will take or if we will have any problems.

I already have an RX for blood work for prenatal genetic testing as we are both of Ashkenazi Jewish (Eastern European) descent and many genetic disorders are associated with our heritage. He knows that once I test negative, then we are free to procreate as we see fit. I will not however trick him into having a baby until we are both ready. That would be a disaster.

Re: How long to you have children?

My FI and I will be 22 when we get married. We have plenty of time to have kids which is great. We have discussed it and we both want it when I will be 29 or 30.

Re: How long to you have children?

About 2 years, FH and I want to have time to enjoy just being married 'being MR. & MRs. for a little while' and being able to travel and just enjoy each other first.
