How long are you waiting to have kids after marriage?

2-3 years but if there were an oops at 1.5 years, that would be okay. He's Irish and I'm Mexican so we say that if we sneeze wrong, we'll get pregnant. He's going to be 29 in September and I'll be 26 in December so we won't too young by then and I'd like to start poppin' 'em out before I'm 30.

Well we planned on waiting a few years after we were married but we have a 9 month old now. And if anyone is worried about not being able to travel because you have a baby... it's not anything to worry about. We've traveled to Memphis with her at a month old (4hr drive), just the two of us went to Mexico in May, we're taking her to Houston with us in august (12hr drive) and then just the two of us are going to Hawaii in November.

I'm 30 and FH is a little bit older. The plan is to wait about 9 months to a year before starting to try. Assuming that we both have salaried jobs and a few other question marks that come from having finished recent degrees, taking the bar, etc. It won't be earlier than 9 months and hopefully everything will fall into place where we feel comfortable trying. (FH assumes it will happen on the first try, while I assume it could take up to 6 months.) Part of it for us is we want a lot (4-6) of kids and want to be able to space them out and have them out of the house by the time we're 65.

We are waiting 2 years. We want to buy a house next spring and then just enjoy being a married couple. We will start TTC around our 2nd anniversary.

We are honeymooning in May and if I don't get pregnant before that - I'm hoping to get pregnant in Spain! I only have one tube (mirena caused an infection - long story) and I have a lot of scarring. "We'll only know once we start trying" if I can conceive /carry a pregnancy to term. But because of this I am stopping my birth control in November. We won't actively "be trying" (tracking ovulation, temp etc) but we won't be preventing it either. We're ready now! The only thing that I am a little worried about is I would like to finish my certification before having a baby. I'm currently studying for my CPA and if all goes according to plan I will have that complete by next August.

We are excited and the baby fever is beyondddddddd real!

We will probably start trying towards the end of next year. I'm trying to get another degree so I don't want to interrupt that. Plus, at the completion of my program I should be getting a more consistent schedule where I can be around for our kid.

3-4 years based on enjoying our first few years of marriage and I graduate next May and wanna get adjusted into a new job for a few years before making some babies if we want that in 4 years

Just got my 5 year IUD so it'll be 5 years min

Once we have the thousands of dollars necessary for us to get pregnant. Even though the science is there to make a zygote from two eggs but no one wants to fund it because patriarchy and men being afraid they'll be obsolete.

But in all seriousness, a few years because sperm costs a shit ton of money and it usually takes multiple tries and we both work those $$$ nonprofit jobs

I am stopping my bc the month or two before the wedding and we will start trying on our wedding night. Hoping for a honeymoon baby!! We both want a big family and I want to start asap so I'm not an older mom.

We will start ttc in January. DH will be 38 then and I will be 29.

I already have 2 babies. I had them before i was 30. FH doesnt have any but wants one. The only down side is that I cant carry anymore.

TBH, I'm not sure how I feel about having my own kids. I'm 26, and every year I get older I feel like I want kids less and less and FH feels the same for multiple reasons.

We have, however, considered looking into foster parenting. I live in NW Ohio and there's a heroin epidemic going on and many kids have been placed into foster care (so much that the adjacent county to mine just reached over 1,000 children in foster care)... it's extremely sad. It'd be a difficult but rewarding journey. However, we wouldn't want to consider applying until maybe a year or so after the wedding.

ETA - had one too many 0's in the # of children in FC

The plan is about 2 years from the wedding. We want to enjoy being married and get "settled" as a married couple before we throw kids into the mix. We're also both very aware that we're not quite ready for kids yet, we definitely enjoy our free time and sleeping right now and we know that it's not the right time for kids for another few years.

I am trying my wedding night lol

We'll be waiting a few years...we would like to have a fur baby for a while first!!!

I won't consider it until we have a house (currently renting) and are a little more settled in our careers. I'll be starting grad school in 2019 (I'm in corporate finance) and FH is pursing sales. My job is stable and I expect to be at my company for a few years but FH is searching. Also we live in WI but grew up in IL so we have to decide if we want to go back home. I'd imagine we will wait 6-7 years.

ETA: I am 22 years old and he is 23.

We are going to wait about 4 years! I will still have one year of college left when we first get married, and then I have three years of RESA to complete once I get a teaching job. I want to complete RESA before having babies so that I can be home with them

We are blessed with a 2 & 3 year old together already and been together for 11 years next month. Not planning anymore children for maybe 4 years. We have our hands full!

As soon as we say I DO
