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?

    Honestly we are going to start trying right away. We have a certain few months that my fiancé and I would like our child to be born in.

    We are thinking 8 months to a year for a baby. But I think if and when your ready just go for it. We just got our home and wedding is in March so just too much new for me to then add a baby so soon lol

    Torn between a month and waiting a year. 🤷‍♀️ Really depends on where we’re at in life.

    My hubby was amazing with my two fur babies. They both passed away and when we’re ready we’ll adopt two together. 🐱 🐱

    We’re not in any rush. I understand that I’m not getting any younger (30 now), but we don’t feel ready to be parents yet.

    I think it depends on the age of the bride and groom and more importantly, where they are in their lives. I am finishing up pre-requisites then applying for nursing school. A baby is definitely not my priority right now, lol. I am also 22 though so I am in no rush and I haven't had the annoying and unnecessary questions and comments I see my friends in their mid-to-late twenties/ early thirties receiving yet. My friends and family all tell us to enjoy our marriage and to get through school first. My husband gets a lot of questions and comments weirdly enough because we each have good jobs (although mine isn't my career job yet) and he makes really good money so they don't think me finishing up school should matter but they aren't the ones who would have to think about raising a baby while working and going to school so i don't care.

    Ugh Same! Those tiny baby socks are killing me! I am getting married in March and we want to settle if we are still renting or looking for a house before we start trying.

    Honestly I have baby fever already but after you are off birth control isn’t may take the average woman three or more months to conceive so keep that in mind with your planing. A few months of newly wed bliss does sound nice to me before actively trying

    We already have 2 but if I were a newlywed I wouldn’t even start trying until 1-2 years after marriage. Get settled in and enjoy each other for awhile. Save up some money to prepare for a family.

    I feel like theres not a "right" time. You just have to be financially/emotionally ready, and want a family of more than the two of you. Either way, after marriage, no one blinks when you get pregnant- so dont think about other people

    We'll be almost 29 by the time we get married since we're planning and paying for our entire wedding ourselves... and I want to be done having kids by the time I'm 30. So....

    I plan on being pregnant 4 hours after I say I Do. I assume that's how long the reception will last!

    Lol same.
    We may be dealing with fertility issues though so itll probably take some extra planning.
