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?

    At least 4 years so I can finish up grad school and hopefully land a stellar job. I’ll be in my mid thirties by then, but it’s important for me to set up my career first and start paying down my debt before kids

    Same here! He has 3 already and we decided not to have any more. In 10 years we will be in our 40s and the youngest one will be 18.

    Ditto. Already had the surgery to make sure of it, too. ^_^

    We just had our little one on the 10th. I wouldn't set your plans in stone- when you get to the right time, you'll know. Things have changed so much since we had the baby, some good and some not-so-great. It is an emotional experience beyond all others, on top of the physical and hormonal ups and downs. We have a very good, sweet baby that I wouldn't change for the world. Right now, we're having to work on a lack of non-physical (we're still in the 6 week window postpartum so physical is still off limits) intimacy and closeness. We've both gotten so busy and/ or juggling baby duties at different times that our communication has taken a big hit. I can literally be in the same house as him, and be missing him. I know we'll be ok, and its not something we as a strong couple can't work through. Savor that newly married feeling and intimacy and closeness! It'll get you through the challenge of new parenthood!

    I would personally like to wait two years after the wedding to try to have children. Although, we've been together for a long time, we've never lived together and I would like to enjoy one another first before starting a family.

    I want a baby ASAP lol. We'll probably start trying for one during the honeymoon, but I have PCOS, so it may take us a couple of years before I get pregnant. Hopefully it happens before that... *crosses fingers*

    Whenever you can afford one! Children are awesome and expensive. Make sure you can save and manage your household and retirement bills comfortably first. If you ca — no holds barred! Good luck

    It all depends on whether you are ready for it or not. There never is a right or wrong time.

    We are actually going to start trying the night after the wedding. We both want 2 kids and we are in our late 20s. We already have a house and by then we will be more established in our careers.

    We're waiting for sure 1.5 years (I have an IUD that gets taken out Nov 2021) but more realistically it'll be 2-3 Smiley smile We're young and have some traveling we still want to do and some career moves we still want to make and FH wants to get his BA in Business so he'll start applying to colleges after we get married!

    I think we might try within a year of marriage. We have been together 8 years, I’m turning 31, my parents are getting older...so I don’t want to wait too long.

    We got pregnant after 3 months of knowing each other.. things didn’t work out. I feel everything happens for a reason. We got engaged in November, after being together for 13 months.❤️❤️Before I met my fiancé, I was not really interested in having a child. However, now things have changed. Maybe it’s because I’ll be 30 in a few days! Lol
    Realistically, we are discussing having a baby together in about 2-3 years (1-2 years after we are married). However, I really would like to become pregnant during our honeymoon.
    I feel 2-3 years is pretty standard after getting married. Everyone is different tho!❤️

    We are not in any rush. We are thinking a year or two after we get married because we still want to enjoy time with it being just us Smiley smile our families on the other hand want us to be pregnant by Christmas next year! We get married in June. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

    We want to wait a little bit so we were thinking maybe 2-3 years after we get married just to get the travel bug out of our systems

    Been with my FH 6 years, 7 by the time we get married and I want to wait at least a year before we start trying for the baby. I think its important to have time alone as a married couple with just me and him

    We’re waiting 2 to 3 years after we’re married since he’s going on a year long deployment a month after we’re married. Plus we want to have that time to save enough money for a house and enjoy being married.
