    I'm just curious to know how long you had been married before adding any children to your family. A friend of mine got pregnant during her honeymoon and we were a bit suprised. I'm not ttc or have babies but I get asked a lot I just want to know averages. also can u mention if it was planned or a nice surprise. :)

    We waited until we were married for two years before trying. We wanted to enjoy marriage a bit before bringing kids into the picture. We started trying in August before our October anniversary. I got pregnant four months into TTC in November.

    We got married in later  June and I found out I was pregnant in August. But considering the weird way of calculation how far along you are by counting from the 1st day of your missed period, that makes it seem like I got pregnant within a month of the wedding

    We had planned to wait somewhere from two to four years to get pregnant.  However, we had a nice little surprise (which we are very excited about Smile).  We were married in early March and I found out I was pregnant in early November.  My friend did get pregnant on her honeymoon though (or at most right when she got back).

    We planned to wait at least 6 months after marriage before discussing babies.  We were 29 and 33 when we were married, so we didn't want to wait too long.  I ended up telling DH that I was 4 weeks pregnant on our 1st wedding anniversary.

    It was planned but it was earlier than we had initially planned. And we have been together 10 years prior to marriage.

    We waited 1.5 years to start trying.  It was a little after our 3rd anniversary that I got pregnant.

    Funny thing is that our original plan was to wait 3 years before babies, we just started a little early in case of problems.  So I guess it all worked out for the best :)

    I actually had my son 8 months before the wedding and our 1 year is a month from today and we just found out I'm expecting again. This one was planned though and we started trying 9 months into our marriage.

    We got pregnant after 2 months of marriage. It literally happened the day we decided not to be careful because we didn't want to wait anymore. Insane!

    We were married for about 5 months. We have been together for so long time (since 2003) so it wasn't too surprising that we didn't wait very long. I glad we waited a few months because it allowed us to knock out some of the kinks from living together for the first time, and we had time to decorate our house.

    Well I came with DS who was 6 when we got married... and then we starting TTC after being married 3 months (got preggers 1st try)

    We had originally planned to wait a year per my request, but then I thought about it & starting considering: my age, wanting atleast 2 or 3 more, wanting to BF for a year each, and not wanting to be pregnant back to back, & I decided to go ahead and get with it. lol

    Three months - we got married in July 2011 and knew we'd start trying within a few months.  At the end of September, we threw caution to the wind and got pregnant on the first try.

    We now have our first bub due to arrive just a few days before our first anniversary!

    @amnystik:  Yeah, we didn't think about that either - then again, we also didn't think we'd get pregnant first time out!   I guess the idea of a romantic dinner and possible weekend away together is probably not going to happen for this anniversary, lol!  Ah well, I think once we have that little bundle of joy in our arms, we won't be able to imagine celebrating our anniversary in any other manner!

    We were married May 11th 2011 and I'm due June 1st 2012. We had been dating since high school, have been living together for 10+ years and have the house we want to raise our family in. Marriage was the step we took before having children...it didnt mean to much to me before the wedding. Now I cant imagine NOT being married to my husband.

    We waited like a year and 4 months to start trying.  Then it took us 8 months to get (and stay) pregnant.  Ultimately got pregnant right before our 2 year anniversary and our baby boy is due about 2.5 years after we got married.

    We started trying right away in the hopes of having a LO by our 1st anniversary, but it still hasn't happened so it will definitely be after our 1st anniversary.
