First Comes Love Then Comes Marriage Then Comes The Baby Carriage... Right?

It really depends on the couple - some are ready to dive into parenthood soon, some are wanting to wait. If babies aren't what you and your husband want now, they're gonna have to accept it. After all, it's your uterus, not theirs!

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your response. We definitely want to wait but we also don't want to wait too long as we are both getting older.

As long or short as that couple wants

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your response. We're planning for 2021 but we'll see as time goes on.

We plan on waiting about 2 years. Do what's best for you guys. Everyone that's wanting you to have kids wont be there to help you. Love my nieces and nephews to death but not for me at the moment.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your response. We have nieces and nephews as well as God children so they'll keep us busy in the meantime.

Wait til you want to.
I'd say enjoy some time together just the two of you.

Me and FH want to wait at least 5 years beforehand. I agree with PP who say that it depends on the couple and especially Merline's comment about people not helping you. Everyone wants a puppy but not everyone wants to clean up their messes.

I think it depends on the couple! We are planning on waiting 2-3 years also. We want married life to start out as just us, especially because we'll be moving in together around the same time as the wedding.

That's a great question. If you want to wait, wait. I don't know your age but if you are sure you want children at some point I would suggest both of you see your doctors now. Everyone assumes there won't be an issue getting pregnant before a certain age but that's not always the case. It won't hurt to check and see your both in healthy fertile shape now so if there may be an issue you can plan accordingly.

I think it just depends - every couple is different. I’m turning30 in a few months, and FH turned 36 earlier this year. We are getting married in September, and I imagine we will start trying within the next 12 months.

Neither of us us are getting younger, we are financially secure, and we both want 2.

However long they want.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your response. Yes we just want to enjoy the married life for a while. We were together for 7 years before getting married so many people feel we've already enjoyed our time together without kids.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your response. Yes I also agree with the help comment. 5 years would be ideal if I were younger and not worried about my biological clock.

You need to do what works best for you and your husband! My FH and I have 3 kids. We are getting married June 15th.. kids are alot! But its amazing. If you want time together before kiddos that is perfectly fine! Its important to have time together before kids and after too.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your response. I think that is a fair amount of time to enjoy one another before kids.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your response. You make an excellent point. We definitely want children so we should make sure that is possible instead of just assuming.

We’re trying right away. We’ve been together for 6+ years and aren’t getting any younger.

Plus we’re trying to find a way to get out of going to my brother’s destination wedding 😂

That's a personal decision only the couple can make together. It's no one else's business when you decide to have children, no matter how well meaning they are. Do what's right for you.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your response. I agree that age, finances, and more play a factor in the appropriate timing of starting a family.
