My husband and I got married a little over a year ago and have been together for about 7.5 years. We've talked about children for years, and finally feel like we're in a position to take out birth control! We are 23 and 24, and keep hearing things such as: "You should travel more together", "You're too young", "Take some time to just be married". While I understand the concerns, we both grew up in military families and have a wide concept of travel. We are both in jobs in our degree fields where I feel stable enough to take maternity leave in 9 months. We've lived together for 5 years, and have taken vacations together. Do you have any advice on beginning this journey of family planning?
