honeymoon baby? tmi

Spike, on June 1, 2012 at 11:39 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 21

So technically I am getting married next month, so it won't be a big deal for the wedding. But i've been telling FH [all the time lol] how I want a honeymoon baby. He's kinda iffy about it...but about a month ago, he took me to a store and I was kinda staring into space not realizing what I was staring at [which was mothers day cards] while he walked around, he was like "what? do you want a mothers day card?" I was like "no...do I look like a mother to you??" he said "no, but you might be this time next year."

idk if it's cause i'm ovulating this week or cause my period is suppose to start next week, but my boobs HURT...BAD, I peed about 30 times [or so it feels like] yesterday and already 10 times today, my smelling is crazy sensitive too

I haven't taken a test, but yea...

my mom keeping telling us and others "THEY BETTER WAIT 2 YRS!!! I don't wanta grandchild for 2 yrs!!!" I told her that after we are married, she has no right making that call on how long we have to wait

    I want a honeymoon baby too, Spike :-) So does FH, so we're luckily on the same page. I have the P Tracker app for iPhone and I looked and it said I'd be fertile during our honeymoon. I showed it to FH and he just got a huge smile on his face and said "Hopefully, we'll hit at least one beach..." :-)

    ME TOO!!!!!! :-) I really hope we have a boy first so I'm thinking a lot about boy names :-) FH has a 13 year old daughter so I'd like a balance.

    I've found that as I get older (I'm only 28) my periods are more painful and horrible feeling, which can only mean that my insides are forming a coup until I put a baby in there. So, why fight it? :-)

    What would be your FH and your mom's reason for not having a baby yet? Why does your mom want you to wait?

    My FH and I actually just had this conversation yesterday! We decided that as soon as we're married, we're gonna start trying. We'll be 28 and 29, so we want to start right away. I'm so glad we're on the same page about this!

    Shoot, my FH has been back and forth asking me to stop my BC for about a year...I keep telling him that I want to enjoy some (or many) adult beverages at the wedding and on our HM in Jamaica...

    I'd also like ot move before we have a baby...our house now is OK, but I want bigger and better!! We both have these dillusions of graduer when it comes to our house so I think that will be our next big project after we're married...I may still stop BC and let nature take its course without techinically TTC but not preventing it either...

    We are getting married in November and the plan is to start TTC in January. But I keep thinking maybe we should start after the HM. We will see I suppose.

    I think the peeing and smell comes later in preg usually. at least that's how it was with my son. before i tested with him & before i knew i might be preg, i was just crazy tired and my boobs were super sore.

    I got pregnant right away after my first marriage, my advice is always to WAIT when people ask me. You should take time to enjoy being married and living together and all that stuff before throwing a baby into the mix. That being said, a lot of people live together before marriage so I guess that makes it kind of pointless to wait lol. FH and I will be waiting until September 2013 to start trying.

    We don't plan on waiting long. There is a 9 year age difference between FH and I, so I will be 28 and he will be 37 when we get married. We want 2 kids, but FH wants to have them before he is 40. We will have the 1st on in our first year of marriage and the second one will come a couple years later. I don't know if we will try for a HM baby, or wait a few months. We have to sell our house and get one that has room for babies.

    FH likes, but no honeymoon babies for me. We've only been together about 3 yrs and i like to be just us for now so we can travel. 32 isnt that old to have children right? We like 2 children and as soon as the 1st baby comes, we'll make another 1! haha!

    We already picked out a name for a baby boy. Every once in a while i go to the parentsconnect website to look out for baby names and their meanings.

    I got knocked up at my FSIL's wedding at the beginning of May and our wedding is in 2 weeks. My first symptoms were super sore nipples followed by horrible period-like cramps. Plus exhaustion, no matter how many hours of sleep I got. Then the peeing and the super-sense of smell began and now I'm enjoying "morning" sickness (aka 24 hours a day). I'm terrified I'm going to be miserable for my wedding day because I just can't conquer the morning sickness and I'm trying everything from acupressure bands to ginger gum and sprite and saltines.

    Our baby was not planned and my advice to you would be to wait until after your day. You want to be able to feel your best, not be worrying about running to the bathroom to puke while you're at the altar or hoping you will be able to enjoy the meal you're paying so much for. Just the thought of my favorite foods makes me feel nauseous lately; even chocolate! I am praying that in two weeks I'll have a remedy nailed down so I can enjoy the meal & cake.

    My FH and I are planning to wait about a year before we start trying, but not too long since I'm already 32. I get freaked out about not being able to get pregnant since it was really hard for my sister, but my mom didn't have any trouble conceiving, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

    Good luck to you!

    DH and I waited 1 month after our wedding before we started TTC. We're now approaching our 2nd anniversary (August), still no baby. Smiley sad We just got the news that I may suffer from Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which means I probably won't conceive without fertility drugs. I'm 22, DH is 25 and we are both otherwise healthy.

    Infertility can happen to anyone, my whole family is SUPER fertile, of all the 10 cousins I have on my Mom's side, only 2 were planned. My cousins (all together) have 8 children, 2 were planned. See a pattern?? Huge shock (and slap in the face) that I can't get pregnant on my own.

    Just as a note, be aware of your body, track your cycles (especially if you aren't on BC) just to see if they follow a consistent pattern. Go to your doctor before you start TTC and see if they will run blood work to test hormone levels and check for anti-bodies for Rubella. Some won't until 12 months TTC, but it doesn't hurt to ask anyways!

    Oh, my daughter knows my rule.....she cannot even think of having a baby until she is 30. No joke.

    It is her wedding date on my profile (I joined here as MOB).

    Even if she has a baby at 30, I am far too young to be a grandmother. No no no!

    The thought of a HM baby sounds awesome, but for us, we are waiting, patiently until we feel it's time to stop BC.

    This is my 2nd marriage, but 1st wedding (JOP the first time). So I want to be able to enjoy it fully. I think HM baby-making would just add on more stress than what we can handle right now, what with budget & DIY planning.

    Plus we are so strapped, there's no way I want to bring a baby into an unstable financial situation. We can't even afford to move out of our 1bdrm. When we can put down for a house (luckily both of us qualify for VA loans) then it's time for babies. Of course if that takes more than 5 yrs, I'm not waiting that long. While FH is 24, I am 27 & my biological clock is ticking lol

    Good luck to you ladies going for a HM baby. If it's right for you, it will be the most beautiful thing you can create!
