for me, two years. what about you?
it is kind of disruptive to newlyweds isnt it, when you are just adjusting to the married life?
Well, we already have a child so I am sure that changes things but I would have been happy with a honeymoon baby but almost 4 weeks later we are still trying :)
My goal is two years, but I don't know if I'll be able to wait that long! I have wanted kids my entire life. Maybe we'll wait a year or so until we start trying, so that way the baby doesn't come until closer to two years.
Honestly, we'll probably just figure all of this out as it happens! :)
Seems like a lot of Bees ae waiting for about a year.
BUT , It really depends on what the couples desires are for children!
That totally depends on how old I am and where I am in life when I get married. If I were 21, I would probably say I'd way 3-5 years. If I'm 27, maybe 2 years. I'm in my 30s, so I dont want to wait, but I will cause I still want to do some more traveling, so I'm waiting a year.
I will be 24 when we get married and my fiance will be 27. We plan on waiting until I am 29 to start TTC.
We are waiting 3-4 years. Preferably 4, but we both wants kids so we might not hold out that long.
I was 23 and DH was 24 when we got married. We planned to wait 3-4 years. It's been a little over a year at this point (we're 24 and 25 now) so 2-3 years to go!
We wanted to enjoy just being a small family of 2 as well as get to a point financially where we could afford for me to be a SAHM while still being able to afford to go out to nice dinners and go on vacation occasionally.
We're wating about 4 years, both 24, but it's mostly because of DH's job and that he'll be deploying for 6 months out of each year for 4 years. I don't really want to go through pregnancy and birth alone, plus 28 is still very young, so it's perfect. All my friends think we're nuts, but they're already on kid #2... it's all about what's right for you as a couple.
We plan to wait about 8-9 years. We are getting married at 26 (that's the first thing people ask when we say we want to wait long).
We'll be 28 and 34 when we get married, and we plan to wait about a year or so until we start trying.
Our child will be born any day and we were married 3 weeks ago...lol.
We'll probably be married 5-6 years before we have kids.
ETA: God willing. We won't TTC til about then..
4-5 years for us. I decided to go back to school and want to be working a year or two before getting pregnant.
@flamingred: Haha, love it!
We've been married over three years and that seems like a good amount of time for us. I think every couple is different, but we just weren't ready (mentally or emotionally) before this last year. (FWIW, we'll both be turning 27 this October)
What we've talked about so far is waiting 3-4 years (24 and 26 when we get married). As time goes on it might change
No kids for us, so I guess I want to be married until the day I die before I have kids. Its been working so far!!
We're waiting 3-4 years, but I'm only 23 so I have plenty of time.
I dont think anyone can say for sure. You can have a idea in mind but things happen in life that could make you need to wait longer
We got married in early February and I came off the Pill mid-Feb. Having said that we've just started cycle seven and we're not pregnant :-/
I'm hoping that we'll be pregnant by the time we celebrate our first anniversary although we've been living together for just over seven years
@flamingred: Get it girl! ;-)
We are planning on waiting 3-5 years. Who knows though!
We're not to going to prevent it from happening, but not going to exactly try to make it happen after we get married either. We definitely want a baby and want it to be a surprise :)
We want to wait until we're both done with grad school. We'll be 23 and 25 when we get married, so waiting seems like the 'right' thing to do. Optimally, we'd TTC when I'm 26. We haven't really discussed it in detail though, just that we want to wait. I want kids BAD though!!!
Well, considering my Fiance wants kids like NOW, as do I, but I'm the one saying not til we're married.. I'm pretty sure we'll be trying on our Honeymoon! haha
Had some major health issues come up this year which changed our TTC timeline quite a bit. Originally we were gonna wait at least a year or two after getting married, but with finding out I have Endometriosis back in April of this year that timeline went out the window. Endo might make it take a long time to conceive so we're gonna start trying by next spring if not sooner. That makes it around 6 months after we are married and I am practically counting the days! I cannot wait to be a mom for the first time :)
My fiance and I have talked about it. I am not really sure, but not right away. He says late 2013. I say IDK, but not now. I just want him.
I'm not sure, really. I finish my master's in May and possibly start a PhD in the fall. I used tot hink i wanted to wait until I finished a couple years, but now we're kind of okay for it to happen whenever. We'll be getting married in January and i'll be just about to turn 24 and he will be just about to turn 26.... We'll have been together 7 years at that point, though, so I think that affects my desire for "newlywed" time
We're getting married next year. I'll be 25 and he'll be 27. We're planning on wating at leat 3 years after the wedding. I want him to be done with his masters first. =)
I always had this idea that 30 is a good age to start a family which will be about 3 years after getting married for me. However, we are just starting to enjoy having careers and income and the ability to travel and enduldge as well as saving up toward home ownership (eventually when we decide to stay in one city for a while). DH's career recently got a boost and if he does well, he may get a foreign assignment just around the time we planned to start TTC so I think we're waiting to see where we end up now. I know there will never be a perfect time but I think 2-3 years of being married will prob. be our majic number for TTC and then it will be out of our hands. I NEVER thought I would put career before family and always thought I would be a SAHM and now I am thinking of the possibilities of hiring my mother to nanny (not that I have discussed this with either of them) so I'm also thinking of when she would retire and if it would be possible to live near enough. The idea of balancing 2 careers and a potential family is just so complicated to think about.
we got pregnant about 2 months after the wedding. neither of us wanted to wait. we'll both me 30 when the baby is born. we both really wanted children and didn't want to wait. if i had gotten married when i was say 23-24 im sure i would have waiting for a few years, you know to 'enjoy' married life.
@flamingred: LMAO I wish I could "Like" your comment. That was hilarious.
We didn't have a specific plan when we got married just "at least a few years". We hit our two year mark last month and are thinking maybe TTC next August. So I guess we'll actually be right on target if things keep going the way they have been. :-)
For us, we'll start trying TTC sometime after our second anniversary. We want to have a house first, and we aren't going to start looking until next spring.
I really hope we can wait for about 5 years. I feel like that would be the perfect time. But who really gets to pick and choose how their life turns out?
By the time we get married, we'll have been together for over seven years and living together for five years. So we wish we could start trying right after, but we will most likely be waiting until we're more settled financially. The plan right now is to start trying by the end of 2013, so a year and a half after the wedding.
I think with most people, waiting or not has more to do with other life things, not with how long it's been since getting married.
I might end up being my parents and waiting nearly 10 years. I'm nowhere near ready for a baby right now and we are 24. Maybe I will wait until my 30s.
My FI and I have been together 3 years and we have been living together since 2 weeks into our relationship. We have done long distance, lived together by ourselves, lived together with roommates, and lived together with family. We have a dog together haha and his money gets direct deposited into my bank account. Needless to say we are practically already married. I did read that generally those who get pregnant within 2 years of their marriage has a higher chance of divorce. My FI and I wanted to wait til our mid to late 20s to TTC, but it seems like EVERYONE from my graduating class and everyone I know has already gotten pregnant and had children. This puts a little pressure on me.
We are getting married when I am 24 and hes 26. We decided we want have a kid by the time I'm 26 (so TTC when 25) or when I'm 27 (TTC when 26). Ultimately though, it all depends on how we are financially and where we are at in our lives. I would not want to have a child if we are living paycheck to paycheck and having a hard time getting by.
