Has anyone gotten pregnant on their honeymoon? What was it like having a baby early into the marriage?

    We're older (we'll be 35 and 36 when we marry) and running out of time if we want more than 1 kid, which is the case. If I wasn't so afraid of horrible horrible morning sickness, which most of the women in my mother's family suffer from, we'd start trying a few months before the wedding. But I really don't want to be nauseous on the big day, so the honeymoon will be our first shot at it.

    If we were younger, I'd want to wait a year. But....we're not. And by the wedding we'll have been living together for a year already.

    That sounds like the worst thing to me, but that's me. We're not having kids for a couple years (I told FH when I was ok with getting pregnant and all the things that had to happen beforehand so he could figure out when he needed to propose).

    My brother's wife accidentally got pregnant 10 days after the wedding. It was rough, particularly since my brother was in his medical internship at the time. I sometimes wonder whether the fact that she was kind of left to take care of the kids on her own contributed to their marriage breaking up.

    We want to start during the honeymoon phase...though I'll be only 26 and him 32....I have PCOS and it may be hard to actually concieve, could take years or one try, not sure. So we said we'll just go for it an see what happens.

    We are going to wait 4-5 years but part of that is just trying to settle into careers and make sure we can support a baby. I have one year of law school left and FH will be starting his masters. However if I was already settled and ready, I don't see why not!

    IMO it depends on your age and how long you have been together. I didn't get pregnant on our honeymoon in my first marriage, but it was within the month. I was only 24 and we had only been together for two years at that point. Our relationship wasn't strong enough, we didn't know each other well enough, and we weren't mature enough to do it that quickly.

    This definitely depends on a lot of factors. If we were younger, I'd probably want to wait a couple of years before having a baby. But we have already lived together for a few years, FH already has two children from his first marriage, so it's different. We feel ready to have a baby right away and don't see a need to wait.

    My friend got pregnant 6 weeks after their wedding. That was in 2011... now she has 3 kids under 4. No thanks! I strongly feel children should be planned.

    We aren't planning a honeymoon baby but won't be devastated if it occurs. Although we are both young (me 22 and him 24) we are already out of school and in our careers so we aren't worried about time. I also have health issues that may make conceiving difficult and we would like to know if it will be a problem sooner than later.

    The only babies we want for the next 7-10 years are the felines in my photo.

    I'm going off BC after the wedding (finishing the pack, though). I'll be turning 37 in August, so the clock is ticking. He'll be 35 at the time we get married. Neither of us have kids, though we both want them. We will have been living together for a little over a year when we get married.

    Ideally we'd not get pregnant till atleast 6 months into the marriage since we have some trips and goals planned till then. But if we get pregnant now, we wouldn't be disappointed. I think if we didn't already live together then I would wait for like a year after the wedding. If we didn't want multiple kids and I was younger, we would wait a little longer.

    If we hadn't been living together I think we would have waited. But since nothing really changed post marriage, it wouldn't have made a difference. We started trying on our honeymoon. So far we haven't been successful :-(

    We are young (23 and 24). We plan on waiting. We both have great jobs (teacher and pilot) but we want to really enjoy being "us" before bringing a baby into the picture. We currently live in a condo so I assume that children will come after we travel a little and buy a house (maybe rescue another great dane). We can't wait for that time in our lives but are certainly in no rush

    We've both been married before, I don't have any kids, and he has three. I love his kids, but I want the opportunity to experience having my own. We're not necessarily trying to have a honeymoon baby, but do not plan to prevent a pregnancy from happening though. We're leaving it in God's hands.

    We took our honeymoon 3 months after our wedding (last month) and decided to start TTC then. We've been together for 10 years and know that we're ready for a family. We have been for a while, but we knew we wanted to be married first. It all depends on the relationship and where you stand. Some have been ready for a family long before marriage and others want to take a while to enjoy married life. Either option is totally fine.

    We are waiting. I will be 26 when we get married, FH will be 29. I am hoping to wait until I am 28ish to start trying. I'm really enjoying just having time with FH right now and would like to enjoy a couple years of marriage first. Also, I'm terrified at this point in my life of having children so I need time lol.

    We have a 15mo old daughter together and he has a son who is 6. Our relationship I feel like was very different then any other I have had because j had never dated someone with a child. Then we had our own and became "full time parents". I don't feel like we missed out on anything because we enjoy raising our children so much. But sometimes I do envy people that can just get up and go to the store and not being a huge production.
