Babies!

I have 2 boys 1 thats 6yrs old on 2nd august and 1 that will be 1 on the 4th august but would love a little girl so trying to sway oh to try after the wedding

Me!

Hoping to come off the pill after honeymoon and start trying then! Very exciting, we both just can't wait!

Like you, we understand that it could take some time so not fussed when it happens, just looking forward to when it does!

I took my last pill last Friday which is all very excited. I've also been taking prepregancy folic acid tablets, as recommeneded by my doctor. Practically speaking I'm starting a new teaching job in september which is initially only for a year and my H2B thinks we should wait before starting trying as it may be a bit awkward if i get pregnant quickly but I don't want to get any more pills. At 32 I don't know how long it may take us to get pregnant and I don't want to put it off.

Hopefully see you over on BT next month!! All the best with your last month of wedding prep!

Am already off been trying for about 6 month but still no luck ☹️

I plan to come off the pill before the wedding and hope for the best

Good luck everyone!

We'll be trying. The plan is to come off about a month before the wedding and then just see what happens. I keep saying the same thing tho, this time in 2 yrs I could be pregnant.

Me and H2B had this chat again last night.

He is off to Afghan 4-6weeks after we get married so i'm coming off my pill and we will start trying during his 2 weeks R&R halfway through this 6 month tour... Exciting times.

I'd like to start trying straight after the wedding but OH thinks we should wait as we want to buy a house as soon as possible after too.

So i expect it'll be about a year after the wedding. :-(

We are looking forward to having some money for a bit after the wedding! I will be qualified in February, so we want to enjoy having a bit more to play with, going out more and having weekends away. Babies will be a couple of years away at least I think! Want to move house before them, plus become used to being a nurse x

Well it all depends on my work really which is a wee bit cr*p to say the least. I have applied for a new job, which Im waiting to hear about shortlisting etc, and if I get it I will have to spend a year training, as it is a speciality in my career. If i dont get this job however, I will be spending my week 2 hrs from my hubby and being a "weekend wife" wich isnt ideal either! so babies are going to have to be on the back burner for a wee while...although we both would love to be trying soon as the weddings over!

We won't be trying for a couple of years after the wedding, so 4 years from now! We want to move to a bigger place and enjoy some time being husband and wife. I'm only 24 (25 next month), so still have plenty of time (I'll be 28 nearly 29 by then). Plus, I've only just qualified and need to establish my career a bit first before thinking about taking a career break (will have to go back to work in some capacity).

As much as we'd both love a "Mini Us" straight after the wedding I would like to save some money first with a view to getting our own house. We rent at the moment, and my thinking is if we have a baby straight away we'll never get round to saving money for a house deposit! I so want a baby, but I also want a home I can call my very own! xxx

We will be trying at some point although probably not for around a year after the wedding. If Mr Spoon had his way we would start trying for a baby as soon as we are married! But I am looking forward to just being married for a while and taking things as they come.

What regiment is your H2B in hun as it sounds like he's got the same Afghan dates kind of to my H2B

I'd love to start trying straight after the wedding but not sure my OH has come round to the idea yet. We have our own house but would like to move to a nicer area before we start a family but I'm getting so broody I dont think I'll be able to wait.

I'll be 26 when I get married, and I'd like my first child at 28/29 so if it takes us a while to get pregant, I think we will have to start trying within a year of getting married.

I am so excited about it though! I cant wait! xxx

We haven't really spoken about exactly when we're going to start trying for a baby but I do know that it'll be a good couple of years at least before that happens!

I'm only 23, will be almost 25 when we get married so still feel too young for kids, h2b is 6 years older than me though and whilst he's not ready right now, he is starting to get there.

We definitely want a good couple of years of married life together to enjoy each other and life and to save up more money after we buy our first house and then get married!

Nope! Ideally at least another 4 years!

From looking at your Location I don't think so - my other half is in Catterick with the Royal Artillery. How about yours?

Yes! call me crazy i know iam, but H2B and i have talked about it loads and it is something we want to do and we feel for us sooner rather than later would be the best option,accompanied by the fact that in the next 2 or 3 years i will doing the ivf treatment to prepare for egg donation for my sister ( i think i need to wait for a while after having a baby there is also the fact that our LA will only fund people up to the age of 35 and im 32 in October) so i need to make an appointment to have my coil removed i will probably do this (make the appoinment that is) early next week for a couple of weeks time!!!

All 3 of my boys have said they would like me to have another baby, preferably a sister!! hmm if only it was that simple lol x

We would love to have babies soon, but we have decided to be realistic and wait a few years. We're saving for a house at the moment, and I'm hopefully going to be doing my teacher training in sept after the wedding. Then I need a real job for a year to make sure I can get maternity pay then we can start thinking babies. My OH is 30 and is very ready and I'm 21. We're trying to be sensible, but if things happen...

We're planning on starting once we are married very exciting

We definately want babies. We coo at all the baby things we see and treat our cats like children.

However, we are still undecided if I should go off the pill straight away or hold off for a bit to ensure we get a few nice holidays. Our honeymoon won't be until March next year at the earliest so will start thinking properly closer to that time.

When we first got engaged we said we'd start trying straight after the wedding however now the wedding is a bit closer we've decided that we'd like to just enjoy being husband and wife for a while and make the most of having spare time again and spare money to go out/on holiday etc. So the plan is to have a really nice holiday for our first anniversary (as we're honeymooning in the UK straight after the wedding) then start trying then. I'll be 26 when we get married and OH will be 32 so we've still got plenty of time x

We waited a couple of years, got married in 2003 and didn't have our first until 2006, but then we had a very short period 'dating' and wanted to spend some together as a couple first, we were looking for our first house after we had only been dating 6 weeks and I proposed after a year, sometimes when it feels so right, you just have to go for it!

With the trend to have longer relationships and engagements, I can see why so many are looking to start to have babies quickly after the wedding. It's a life altering thing, SO much hard work but so much fun and laughter too.

We would absolutely love to have a little one straight away - however, since deciding to get married next April; we thought we better wait until at least Feb/March before trying - problem is...my clock is ticking very very loudly - lol ?

Aw, it's lovely seeing everyones plans. Know just what you mean about 'enjoying marriage' for a bit...we did talk about this but are both too broody and ready! I think we may well end up with the best of both worlds though as being realistic I might not get pregnant for up to a year, but if it happens sooner we will be delighted!

Good luck everyone x

Life after wedding planning eh? Weird! ?

I like the idea of enjoying marriage, but H2B is going to be a few thousand miles away so not a lot of enjoyment for me... I would try for a baby straight away but wouldn't like H2B to miss scans and me getting biiig so we shall wait until a sensible time.

I think after being on the pill for 7 or so years it's not going to happen straight away anyway - would be very impressed if it did!

My H2B is going to be going to canada pretty soon after we get married with work so am hoping for sooner rather than later because when he comes back from canada then goes afghan.

my hubby to be in yorkshire regiment

dont be so surprised - i was on the pill over 10 years came off it and 3 months later was pregnant, thought it would take a lot longer

when I got married the 1st time - 25, had my daughter when I was 28 it was nice just to have the us time (at the time).

nice to hear all your plans awwww...I am getting broody again but thats bad

x

We've been together 8.5 years and so have already done the "us" time. We're also both 32/33 so now's the time. Didn't manage the honeymoon baby though ?

I was on the pill for 14 years and have been off a year. Periods still aren't back to normal!

We are hoping to try as soon as we get married. If OH had his way he would have one now Can't wait though Nice to hear everyones plans xx

Oh my goodness! I had not banked on that...... Still we have a natural contraceptive.. the miles between us!

I am getting broody too - I don't like it! Saw my niece at the weekend and warned my SIL I may not want to see her much as she is making me broody! It's a good job she knows I was joking and laughed!
