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?

    We’re waiting at least 4.5-5 years until I finish my doctorate. I could not take care of a kid and finish my education at the same time.

    We’re waiting a couple of years due to my career. I guess it just matters where you two are in life. A baby is a huge responsibility and cost so if you’re having a big wedding and it might’ve drained your savings or something, I’d consider giving it a few months to a year.
    Or maybe you don’t have savings started at all, there are ways to begin saving up and also give you time to prepare your body for trying.
    It’s definitely a conversation you’ll need to have with your partner Smiley smile

    We’re both super ready for children! We’ll be just short of 10 years together when we get married next year, living together for 4 and engaged for 2. We’ll both be 28 and quite frankly i’m not getting any younger 😅

    We get married in June but we want to time it so we have the baby the following summer. As much as we would love to have a honeymoon baby we are going to control ourselves and wait to start trying in September 😂

    We are undecided on kids honestly. I have two already and he has none but he doesn't have a huge desire to have any of his own, he's very happy with my two children. If we do decide to have a baby it would need to be soon as I'll be 35 when we get married and we do not love the idea of paying for college and daycare at the same time as my kids are now 10 and 12 and if we wait 4-5 years they will be in high school and starting over with a baby having kids in high school seems daunting.

    We plan on waiting about 2 years, we’ve been together for 6 years and will be married in November. I’ll be 28 when we’re married and he’ll be 32, so by the time we want to start trying we’ll be 30 and 34 🤷🏽‍♀️

    We maybe wait at least 2-3 years. We want to travel and I don't feel ready yet to be a mom and have children.

    My fiance and I will be 27 when we marry, and we're planning on waiting at least a year so I can graduate grad school. To be honest, I wouldn't be upset if it happened a little sooner. We want several children Smiley love

    We’d like to wait 2 years before having kids. We’re both 26 & will be 26 when we’re married. I want to have 4 kids so we’ll see how long we decide to wait. 😬

    I've thought of this question too, we'll be 24 when we get married in February. So we're thinking 2-3 years after the wedding.

    We’re planning on waiting 1-2 years after marriage before we try having children. We are very traditional so we aren’t living together until after the wedding. We want to adjust to being spouses and just enjoy each other before becoming parents.

    Just wanted to let you know your eggs aren’t dying! You can start trying whenever you want but statistically your eggs don’t start dying until closer to 40.

    We have talked about it and with me wanting to go to medical school and his age not to mention my family’s medical history we are wanting to try within the first 3 months after our wedding.
