Babies!

Fantastic contraception but not great to be apart. Dont bank on it taken ages, we did and it didn't in our case.

I'm lucky at the moment as i have twin 18month nieces so they get my attention.

H2B and me dont want our own x

We always said we would try for baby no2 after we get married. But unfortunately our almost 2 year old is in the process of being diagnosed with a behavioural problem (possibley adhd) so god knows when we will feel ready to have another. Its so exciting trying for a baby, i hope you all have great fun but also enjoy your peace, theres no such thing once baby comes along ?

Good luck ladies xx

Nope not great , but I know we are strong enough to cope, we've already had one Afghan tour to endure and it made me realise how much I love him, and him me - he came back on 2 weeks R&R and proposed so maybe it would be lucky baby making time too.

My brother freaked at the idea of us having kids though (my niece is technically my step niece as its my SILs and not his - not that you'd know, the babs is all my brother as he has been there the last 2 years and she's only 32 months old). He embarked on a mission to put my off - I took his little one to a kids "Wacky play area" kind of place and then me and OH took his niece (2 and half) and nephew (10 months) to a farm for the day. We are still keen though! haha

Without wanting to be too rude, I love the idea that *what goes on behind closed doors* could be creating a new little bit of me and H2B.

Has anyone seen Maybe baby? It's one of my fave films and I cried my eyes out at it recently, so babies are obviously on my mind more than normal....

This is what I was afraid of. Been on the pill for 10years and been off it now two months and I'm all over the place. Just taking it as it comes though. Try properly on the honeymoon. Can't wait to be a mum x

We want to start trying after wedding not sure what to do though would come off pill before but dont want unexpected guest at wedding or honeymoon if you see what i mean lol so not sure weather to wait and come off the pill after wedding instead. as others have said if it doesnt happen striaight away were not fussed xx

Planning on coming off the pill in June next year and hoping for a honeymoon baby, or a pre wedding baby, or an any time baby lol (can you tell we'd get pregnant now if the wedding didn't take all our money)

You look amazing for your age hun ?

Me and my OH are really opposite....I'm an only child and don't have many aunties/uncles/cousins! There's only an 18month again gap between OH and his sis, his dad is 1 of 15 and his mum is 1 of 5 but ALL of them live within 2miles! So really close!!

Hannah is 15months, and I've wanted one for a while now! OH is refusing and wants atleast a 4 year age gap!!

So, I was pretty rubbish with the pill and OH made me get something more permanent.....I went with the injection! Just gutted I only found out AFTER that fertility doesn't return for 8months - 2years!!

So OH has won Yes, I am very resentful!

Sorry for being a dampner to this thread!!

We're going to start trying a few months after the honeymoon. The idea of being pregnant at wedding or honeymoon really doesn't appeal. I'm going to be just 32 at the wedding, so like some of you, it has to be sooner rather than later. We discussed this on about date 4 and were both keen on the idea of babies before we're 35, and I really can't wait to start trying! If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, but we want to give ourselves the best chance. So I may well be hugely pregnant at 2012 Olympic time, and I've been waiting for that for years!

A pre-wedding baby wouldn't be disastrous, although my chosen dress has one hefty corset! Don't fancy baby and corset together.

Dear lord the thought of me and OH with a child puts the fear of God into me ?

Saying that, we're only 23 and 25, so I think we have a good 8-10 years of fun yet before we have to think of that kind of responsibility, far too much for me at the mo, and I've never ever experienced the "broody" thing anyway ?

Well we've done it the other way round and have a 15 month old daughter. We're not planning to add to our family for another couple of years as we want to enjoy her first. Maybe when she starts at school we will think about another one, I want a couple of years to relax and get back to normal afte all this wedding planning. Plus we would like to move house first so we've got that to deal with before another one comes along.

I'd agree with the comments about the pill, I was on it for about 9 years, took last packet in June and was pregnant by late July! It happens when it's meant to and quite iften sooner than you think!

Me and OH have spoke about this a lot. We have decided that when this pack of pills finshed (which is the day after our wedding! 1st Aug) I will come off the pill and just see what happens. we haven't told anyone this except my mum as i have quite a big family and they will get so excited! Obviously we understand its going to take a while and as we both havent had children, we don't know what problems may occur. I have been on my pill for 4 years. I have 2 sisters, 1 who can get pregnant by just looking at a man (only her husband though! haha!) and another whole had serious problems for about a year (however doctors believe it was from her husband).

So at the minute they are all guessing when its going to happen. I hate not tell them but my sis had such problems with getting pregnant and you could see how much its was hurting her telling us and explaining everything. I dont want to 'have to' tell people because they know. I will tell them when i feel comfortable.

But yes, we cant wait. Its so exciting.

Good luck to everyone!

Like GB we're both 32/33 and have been together coming up for 6 years so we've done the 'us' time. H would have got a baby in before the wedding if he could!

I was never on the pill, I wasn't allowed to take it, so knowing my cycles was much easier as they were regular and we were very very lucky we fell pregnant in the first month of trying.

Aww - thanks Pet! ? I hate to say it but i'm the eldest, I was 33 last Thursday. And on Monday I got kicked out of a pub cos the barman thought I was 24 so wouldn't serve me!!?? ?

Well, when I say trying, it's ore like not preventing. We'll see how it goes in the next 6 months or so and then after that maybe we'll start thinking about taking it more seriously. Don't really want to be too hung up on it just yet.

For anyone thinking of trying for a baby before the wedding, I wouldn't.

If you are in the first few months of a pregnancy you might feel and look rubbish. You could be throwing up every few minutes and also unfortunately early miscarriages are very common. It is the most likely reason you might be in hospital on your wedding day! You also won't be able to drink or eat certain foods at the wedding. Also the whole getting pregnant/staying pregnant thing is very stressful and you don't want to be thinking about it at the wedding.

Sorry to put a dampener on things, but I think when you do get pregnant, you will realise why I said don't be pregnant on your wedding day!

Good call - my friend was sick every day of the first 4 months. And no chorizo or soft cheese. OR BOOZE️
