Im thinking on waiting 6-8 months to have my first child after marriage. When would you guys want to have a baby after getting married?

    I told my FH that I'm stopping my birth control right after the wedding. Whatever happens will happen after that! Haha!

    Same!!!!! I'll be 30 a couple of months after the wedding and I feel that clock ticking. I'd love to travel for 5 years but I know way too many women who waited until their 30s and then couldn't conceive. I don't trust my fertility that long, so honeymoon will be baby central. Packing prenatals and lingerie. 😂

    We've been together for 3.5 years, and already have a 2.5 year old, so the cat's out of the bag on that one xD. That said, we're still in discussions because I want to try for another after the wedding, and he's not too keen on the idea at the moment. If we do decide to try for another, it probably wouldn't be for a few years after the wedding to get into a better financial position.

    We are getting married in May and I graduate nursing school in December so we really want to wait until after December. We have been together 7 years so we don’t want to wait a long time. If it happens before then we will still be excited but hopefully after next December! Maybe a 2021 baby 💕💙

    I threw out my pills the day we got married. I want to get pregnant right away but my Doctor said it most likely will take a year or year and a half to get a regular cycle back. I would 100% recommend reaching out to your OBGYN for advice on family planning.

    We plan to wait between 3-4 years since we both have a lot of goals we want to accomplish first before we start planning for a baby. We're also not ready for that yet lol. We just want to enjoy our marriage and our fur babies as possible before we make that move.

    Probably 2 or 3 years for us. we are still really big into the car community here in Colorado. He has projects he wants to do and some places to see together. plus, we want to buy a house before having children. but if the little blessing/miracle comes along sooner, we would stil be super happy about it!

    This is a super personal question. Keep in mind that many couples struggle with infertility and it can take many years for couples to conceive. I would love to enjoy married life for 1-3 years before trying for a child but because we are older we don't have the luxury of waiting. I imagine we'll decide whether or not we want to try for biological children within 6 months of saying I do, and will have about a year to try. If it doesn't happen within that window its just not in the cards for us.

    I’ve learned it’s definitely not something you can plan out and getting pregnant isn’t as easy as your high school teachers made it seem. We wanted to enjoy married life for around a year before starting to try.

    We are planning on starting right after the wedding. We have been together 10 years and lived together 7 so we are definitely ready. Neither of us have children so we also want to know sooner than later if for some reason we wouldn’t be able to naturally.
