What are y'all thinking on this one? Everyone tells me to be married at least a year. I think that's sage advice. We weren't living together before, so there is an interesting adjustment period happening.
I always wanted to be a young mom...but teaching kindergarteners and second graders got that out of my system! So I'd love to wait at least 2 years after we get married.
Mr. Pudding and I both really want to have a family. I would be really surprised if we didn't have a child by our second aniversary.
I am getting married at 27, and we plan to begin trying around 30 years old. I will have been a student until I am 27, so for me, it's important that I have time to start my career and enjoy married life with my husband before bringing any kids into the mix.
I would like to wait to have kids until I am done with all of my degrees, which if everything goes as planned will be around 28-29. I will hopefully be married at 24 so that gives us a couple of years to enjoy married life :)
@parfait: I used to think I wanted to be a young mom too. I just couldn't imagine being in my late 50s, pushing 60 when my kids graduated high school. Working with kids these past three years has changed my perspective on just how young of a mom I want to be ;)
I would like to ideally start trying next year, but I think the hubby wants to start trying the year after. Guess only time will tell...
@babyboo: Exactly. : ) I'd love to be done with my degrees, too, but I'll probably still be in grad school. Wonder how that will work out!
My bf/FI is younger than me by a few years which is not much but enough to make a difference. He's still finishing up his undergrad degree (hence the summer wedding) and I've completed my Masters and am working towards licensure. We both want children but I'm thinking it will probably be about 4 years before we actually start that whole process. I figure that way he should hopefully be done with his degree and I will be licensed and have a bit more flexibility with schedule, etc.
Well once we got married we kind of had the whatever happens attitude towards planning for children. So let's just say there was a bit of shock when I found out we really were pregnant. I had no idea it was going to happen so quickly. I made a silly assumption that me being on the pill for nearly 10 years would have slowed the process down... but no. Apparently we really are rabbits :)
As soon as possible! We've been married less than two weeks, but we're already trying!
Congrats, Roddybride! I don't know how I missed hearing the good news!! :)
We want to wait 3 or 4 years but I really want to have at least 1 before I'm 30.
@Laylabelle - Thanks!! It really is an exciting time for us!
For some reason I have kept my distance from WeddingBee and I have been real lazy with updating my blog. Sorry! I think this pregnancy has kept me exhausted and less motivated to do anything.
@RoddyBride09: Congratulations!
We originally wanted to wait two years after marriage before having kids, since once they're here, that's it in terms of doing what we want whenever we want to. We've lately been talking about potentially trying next year though, which means that we'll have been married one year before trying. Not sure yet whether it will happen or not, but I can feel the baby fever rising...and we've been telling everyone that we want to wait for at least a couple of years!
We're getting married in April and I'm hoping we'll be expecting by the end of the year - never know until we try! ;o)
I'm aiming to start in my mid twenties, so in about 4-5 years. It's important to me to be healthy and energetic for my children as long as possible, and I'd love to see my grandkids grow up. :)
I want to wait about 3-5 years. I want to enjoy time with my husband before adding another responsibility.
We were 29 & 31 when we got married...we hope to start trying soon and get pregnant near our 1 year anniversary, but we know that it will probably take longer.
ASAP!! Lol I would like to wait at least until the wedding, DF would like to try right now. I think I have him convinced to wait but he's constantly telling me let's try now!
I'm thinking about two years after we get married -- I want to have a sizable chunk of my student loan debt paid off before we add another person to the family (who will be cute! But will suck $$ ... :p) The boy wants to start trying a year after we get married -- or less, eek! -- but I'm not so sure about that. He's very concerned about his age and doesn't want to have kids later than 35. He'll be 31 this year so ... ugh. Also, I might be reproductively challenged, so that should throw a bit of fun into the mix!
Congrats RoddyBride!!
We're are going to start trying 1 year from now. I can't wait, I got the fever baaaddd!
We both want kids, but we also both want to wait a while so that we can travel and have quiet mornings :) We're thinking in our mid 30's (we're 26 and 27 now). We're both totally okay with being older parents, and because of a prior illness, it's likely getting pregnant will be hard for me, so we're also very open to adoption.
I'm 28, about to be 29 and the hubby is 27. So we agreed to wait 2 years - I would love to wait longer, but I know it gets harder the older you are - so we're going to enjoy just each other for 2 years before any buns begin baking. I, too, want to get some of our debt all done and gone, as well as take a couple of trips, before I wake up every 3 hours to feed a baby.
As soon as we can sort out health insurance! We both will probably be switching jobs around the time of the wedding, so once we get that sorted out and I have an insurance card in my hand we will pull the goalie (as some of the other threads have stated it) 
Although I am not sure we will be exactly where we would like to be with everything in our lives, I would like to start trying soon after we get married. I will be almost 30 then (next summer) and I feel like times-a-tickin'. Plus, I have learned from past experience with an array of things, if your waiting for the situation to be exactly perfect, your prob. gonna be waiting for a long time. Who knows, we'll see.
We are really young, both of us are still in college. He will be done with his CPA next year, but I still have a few to go. So kids are definitely out of the question for atleast 10 years. We want to enjoy some years and be successful in our careers before kids. I would really like to be a stay at home mom. Waiting ten years would put me at 30 and I will have been able to work for a while and enjoy life with just the two of us! :-)
At least 5 or more years. We have a plan: Marriage, Mortage, Baby. But of course, plans almost always get thrown out of the window. We'll just try and "stick to the plan" and see what happens.
i'd say about 2 years from now we'd like to have a baby..we do want to enjoy our first year together and then maybe after that we'll hopefully have one on the way=)
DH and I want to have "our" time first. We were the "old fashion" couple. We didn't live together before getting married, and we never stayed the night with each other. Every night, I would come home by 11. And yes, I'm 23 years old. LOL. We were together 2 years when we got married, but now we want to "get use to each other". Does that make sense?
We have said to wait at least 2, maybe 3, years. After that, whatever happens, happens. I LOVE kids. I would love to have four at the most. But we'll just see what we are blessed with. I'm kinda excited.
Our house is WAY too tiny to have kids, so I figure once we upgrade a bit (we may end up renting ours out and renting a larger home in a suburb - ours in a tiny bungalo in the cool, young, bar area of town).
A larger house = we are more stable $-wise too. Mostly though we just have NO room for a crib even in this house!
im starting a 3 and a half yr nursing program a couple mos after the wedding, so most definitely no kids for about 5 yrs. we want to travel and ENJOY married life and having fun, cuz once the kids come, itll be all about them. but i will be 24 when im done w my nursing school, so i will still be pretty young having kids, im excited!

We are going to start TTC in April. We agreed to wait 6 mos after the wedding. I'm 30 and DH is going to be 32. We have been together for 4 years and lived together for a little over a year before we got married. I purposely wanted to be engaged for at least a year. So I think at this point we are ready.
I'll be 22 and FI will be 27 when we get married. Everyone says I've got baby fever and we'll have kids sooner rather than later but we both agree we want to wait 3 years to start trying. That will give us time to pay of my car, stockpile savings, buy a bigger house, etc.
Ill be almost 24 by the time were married and hell be almost 27. We both would like to wait about 5 years before having kids. We want our own time first!
To be honest....hoping to have children right after marriage. I've always been the type that wanted to wait to have children once I was married, but wanted to wait atleast a couple years for that an just enjoy my husband. However that was when I was like 20 yrs old. Now, I'll be 30 when I get married, so my biological clock is ticking....
We're getting married in Sept and we plan on trying ASAP. Keep your fingers crossed
We'd like to have a baby in 5 years, which means 4 years before we start trying.
We're getting married in July, so I think we'll probably start trying for a baby by the end of 2011 or beginning of 2012. We want "our time" before having babies ;]
