BABY FEVER...but SO not ready for one...make sense?

I am not waiting. Everyone says wait and spend some time with your new Husband. But to me he is the same person I have been with the last 5 years and lived with the last 3 years. Getting married is not going to change anything, except my last name. We have had our time together so now it is time to expand out relationship and begin a family.

I do sometimes...when I was in beauty school, it seemed like every girl there was pregnant...and i honestly felt out of the loop lol but a child for me while being unmarried is like...unlawful in my family lol but on my FH side, his dad wants us to go ahead and have him a grandbaby lol but i love babies...so i always have a baby fever lol

my mom tells us to wait a year or 2 so we can enjoy each other...idk lol maybe

The weird part is, I was all about having kids before I turned 30. FH was like "lets wait until 35." lol. Now, he brings up kids more than me. It's so strange. I now want to get settled into our new house, and spend time with just him and I and my yorkie Teddy, who for me is like my baby. Kids are now the farthest thing from my mind. I'm sure someday soon we will meet in the middle. lol.

Michelle you FH sounds like mine. He wants another one already... And they say us females are the pushy ones lol my FH would love 5 kids lol

I am 32 and so is FH he has a 9 yr old from his previous marriage and I have no children. We have known each other for 11 yrs so after we get married we are so ready to start tryingi We want 2 or 3 I can't wait. All my friends already have kids and i'm pretty much the last one remaining but I am so glad to have waited.

Stevie Rae, I am also a teacher and it makes it all that much harder when you are surrounded by children every day!! I have 2 beautiful nieces, ages 6 and 2. My FH wants to wait about a year or two, but I would really like to have one sooner than that haha. However, I know we need to be financially stable and all that fun stuff first, so I will wait until we have everything nailed down with this house we are looking at and we will go from there!

I would love to have a little one, but am still in school and FH is just starting school next semester - so we will definitely be waiting a while to have kids because I want to be able to support them. My FSIL seems to want us to have kids more than we do - she already has a 3 year old boy - and every time we see her she makes some comment about me getting pregnant.

Oh god yes! We plan on starting right after the wedding...or a few weeks before The main concern right now - as to why we aren't trying yet - is so I fit into my dress and am not pregnant at the wedding. It seems like, when you start to want a baby, you see pregnant women or women with infants EVERYWHERE! Apparently there are pregnant women and women with babies all of the time (who knew) but you really only start noticing how many when you are wanting one of your own...usually.

@ Stacy G... we are looking for a family friendly vehicle right now! I have a mustang so not exactly a family car! Good luck with your baby making! lol

@ Mandee....I agree with financially stable! I don't think any couple is ever really financially "stable" but better off than we are now lol What grades do you teach? I am SPED k-12 (currently self-contained classroom for secondary)

@Morgan M.... I hear ya! Our families are always saying, "We can't wait for ya'll to have babies!" I'm like don't jinx us, we aren't ready yet! lol At least I know when we do they will get lots of love!

Lol same here Lisa. FH is all like lets try now and I'm telling him no I didn't just blow 1.5K on a wedding dress to not have it fit and walk down the aisle 8 months prego and ready to pop. I do admit I have baby fever and told FH we can start around our 1 yr vow renewal to try and all he tells me is he doesn't want to be 35 and having another kid lol he's 32 now.

Baby fever ... I had a bout of it a few weeks ago ... but I'm over it ... I want to wait a wee bit longer, I told DH that we could MAYBE start trying NEXT January 2013 ... but I'm almost positive I'm going to change my mind and want to wait a while longer ...

We have a lot of things to tie up ... bills, a place of our own, and new cars so yeah in my opinion less debt, a place to call our own and better cars will give our children a better life ...

Right now I have a gorgeous 4 year old cat who is like my child ... so for now my little girl will have to do

I have baby fever too. My MOH just had a gorgeous little girl in May and a good friend of mine had a baby boy less then a month ago. This plus a bunch of FH's friends have also had babies this year or are due in the next two months.

But FH is looking at going back to school next year, just after the wedding for two yrs. So, yeah putting the baby making on hold until Spring/Summer 2014. I'll be 33 1/2, but not much we can do about that.

I have an 11yr old & a 2 yr old, the baby keeps me soo busy to the point I can wait for another, but at the same time.. with the gap between the 2 we have now, I dont want another big gap with the next.. so were starting right away! Its crazy, scary & exciting to think this time next year, we could be pregnant with number 3!! FH's first..

@ Stacy S. I know ... it is kinda scary but exciting to think that next year at this time, I'll be going off birth control so we can start trying ... I really want to wait till after the Holidays ... I just don't want to have to miss out on all the fun we have between October 1 and January 7 ... LOL at least not with baby 1 ...

I totally have "baby fever" - we have a 17 month old and I have been itching to start on #2. Aaaand then I realize how demanding and tiring my one is...let alone throwing another one in the mix. I think we'll wait to start trying until after she's a little more independent. Maybe we'll start next year at this time..or later lol

There must be something in the water, cause everyone around me is getting pregnant too!

I have it, but I think my FH has it even worse lol...

He wants to start by the time we are 30 (we're both 29) but I would like for us to buy a house first and be a bit better off financially.

I have medical issues which may cause infertility so getting preganant may be an issue. My doctor told me that once I'm ready to start trying I should let him know so they can start me on medication that might help (but he let me know that even if it's possible to get pregnant it may take years). My FH knows so I think after the wedding I'm going to stop birth control and if it happens it happens. If we don't have any luck naturally after the first year I am going to start the meds. I just don't want to find out too late that we can't get pregnant since I know adoption can take awhile.

Like my best friend said to me…Even if you start trying you may not get pregnant right away. Then it’s going to take 9 months. So really you’re still a year out from baby “really” being here. My FH wasn’t ready to start trying after we get married but after hearing this he said “Yeah, you got a point” So just think about that. A baby doesn’t happen over night!

Sometimes I think I'm ready...but then again I think about all the things I want to have done before I get to that point. There is a possibility that we might live over seas for a couple of years after I get my Masters so I'm debating whether I want a baby born in Malaysia in 2013 or a baby born in the U.S. in 2014/2015? By the latter date I will be 30 or 31-ish so it's not too late.

Baby fever has hit our house as well, for both of us. We talk about it daily. We would love to have one, but we have set a financial goal where we want to be when we have kiddos and we aren't there yet. But we may end up giving in before we get there
