So I'm just curious how everyone else's FH or DH feels about having babies after the wedding..... Are they freaked out by the idea? Do they want to wait waaaaay longer than you?

I want to wait a year but DH jokes that cars will fly when we have kids I know he is just kidding and we spoke about it, and 4 years is good for him but that's SOOO LONG from now!! I love all the LIW ladies but I would love to be a LIIF member as well

FH and I have been trying for a long time and just started seeing an RE. I knew I would have a problem getting PG so were (obviously) starting right away. Neither of us can wait to have kids. I'm hoping it happens VERYsoon.

we're trying now. We've been together 6 years already - so it's not like we haven't had 'us' time...

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

we are going to start trying right after the wedding and see what happens. i'm 29 fh is 34 it's time, we're not getting any younger. i also think that we are going to have a problem conceiving so the sooner we start the better

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

When we get married, we will be together 7 years. We are moving to NH next fall, and you have to be at a company 1 yr usually to get maternity leave. SO. I think I will start trying about 4 months after we get to NH, assuming jobs are good, money is ok, etc. I would start trying immediately if we were staying here, since I have been with my co. for 3 years. I will be 31 next month, and by the time we move, I'll be 32 ... so hopefully I can get pregnant in my 33rd year. A lot of planning but I am sooo excited to have kids!!

He wants 6 and I want 2. We may settle for 3, IF money is good. Kids are a lot of money and a lot of work - I think 2 is perfect.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

I'm 29 and FH is turning 37 this Sept. I have a feeling he wants to have children right away but isn't pressing the issue because I've made it very clear that I want to wait a couple of years.

As I've told my FSIL who keeps asking when we are having kids... I have to make sure I still like him after we're married!! LOL

We've been dating for 5 years and have a great relationship but it ts really important to me that our marriage is stable before we bring a child into the world.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

Both FH and I are ready to start a family and have kids. We will probably start trying sometime after the wedding. I'm 29 and he's turning 36 this year...We have been together for 4 years and living together for the past 2.5...so I think we're ready for it. Our cat might not be though

I was considering going off BC next month...but then I don't want to be paranoid about getting preggers b/4 the wedding

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

If it was up to FH, we'd have been trying for a few months already! He's dying for babies! I always said I didn't want my own. I like playing with them, but am scared to death of being pregnant and giving birth!

We've agreed to wait about a year to start trying. I may have problems getting pregnant as I have some issues with my ovaries. The only reason we're waiting a year is because we want to do some traveling and enojy living together and stuff. I'm on the pill, which is never 100%, so if it happens, it happens.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

We were gonna wait two years - but I think we're gonna wait three.

We both just want to enjoy our marriage and travel a lot.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

We would like to have them right away. We want to wait a year but, i stopped birth control so like we said if it happens it happens. All my best friends have kids, I will be the last one. LOL.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

If it was up to FH I would be walking down the aisle and then right to the delivery room

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

We want to have a HM baby. I'm 30 (and have issues) and FH is 34. The sooner the better =)

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

We have to wait. Financially we could not have a kid right now. We both feel the same way. We both also feel we should buy a place beforewe have a baby If we were financially okay right now, I'd be ready to try in about a year. however the way things are looking right now, its going to be a LOT longer till we have kids. We don't foresee how we will be able to buy a place withint the next 5-10 years. So Im pretty bummed about it.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....

We both want to wait a little bit but if it happens earlier than that is fine. Last night when we were talking about something he even said, ok if i got you pregnant not like it would be OH NO were pregnant what are we going to do, we're married now not a big deal. The way his whole attitude about it was that if it happens soon he wouldnt mind.
