Babies?!

Yeah I think so, but ssssshhhhhhh, it's a secret!!

No

I would love to try now! But my dress won't accomodate a bump and OH is off for 6 months after the wedding!

Perhaps we might be very lucky in the 5 weeks between honeymoon and him going away, but I can't see it, so a 2014 baby is it then.....

Yes us too!!

oh wanted to try before the wedding, as we have 18 months yet, but we finally agreed in trying for a honeymoon baby!! he did want to be able to announce it at the wedding that we were expecting but i wanted to be able to enjoy the day properly and thought i would have enough to worry about without the added pressure of baby sickness as well etc!

just hope everything works out ok!xx

We already have 3 but I'd love another. I think we're going to have to hold off for another couple of years until money is a bit easier and we have a bigger house! Doesn't stop me musing over names and wotnot though!

Nope...as you know i have two children and do not want anymore

The thought of honeymoon baby appealed to me for an hour or so

but i soon changed my mind lol !

Good Luck for all those trying though !!

WSS! mr flow suggest stopping any form of contraception from feb / march next year...and see how we go...ideally id want a bubba before my 30th birthday in march 2013!

We have been discussing this and h2b wanted to do it before the wedding but we have agreed to wait til afterwards so that we can both enjoy the day.

However since we have decided this I so want a baby but im not sure if its cos im now ready or if its a mixture of that and fact that now ive decided I cant until after wedding.

So think we are planning to try or stop trying not to have one lol after wedding. x

No. Nope, no way, not no how, never! Good luck to those who are though.

Lol Rebecca86 - I cant wait to start having kids! Always wanted a family but think ill be stopping at 2 lol.

Yep, we'll be trying after the wedding. Although considering I haven't popped this one out yet, I may change my mind, depends on how we cope with 4 kids.

This jelly bean is due in June, so will be 1 by the time we get married which gives us quite a good age gap. I want to be done having kids by the time i'm 30. Plus, my OH is 11 years older than me, so got to take his age into consideration.

Lol. My friend always said she would have4 kids if not more - and after having her first shes like nope!! 2 at the most! NO more! LOL x

I never wanted a family but i got 2 kids now love them to bits and i know in my heart

i couldn't have anymore OH wants another but he understands my reason's for not wanting anymore

But i think being a mum is the most amazing job on the planet not easy but it's fab !

I always said I never ever EVER wanted kids. OH and I had huge discussions about it as he would love to be a daddy. I sort of changed my mind a bit and said 'maybe one day' and he wa shappy enough to wait and see. Then 2 weekends ago one fine ordinary Saturday morning I woke up and instantly wanted a baby, just like that. It was like a huge thump in my stomach at the same time as a giant alarm bell in my ear. Crazy! OH would quite happily have one immediately if not sooner, but we realistically need to wait til after the wedding and I suppose I would like to enjoy a bit of married life and save up before trying.

Yet I can't help think if we had one now, it would be perfect timing for my bridesman to carry them down the aisle as mini attendants! (i say 'them' as twins run in both mine and OH family, so fingers crossed for one of each. Both OH and I are MASSIVE - me 6ft, him 6ft7 - but luckily we were both a few weeks prem and teeny weeny babies so I just hope that tradition follows when it my turn to do the pushing!)

I have one child am and happy to stop at that. Good luck to everyone who are looking forward to starting families, the only thing I can say is no matter how much you plan it doesn't always happen exactly when we want it too!

Going to have approx a year practising then try for a little un.

I spend a lot of time with my friend during the week with her 13 month old and know its a really really hard job - I know this just from watching her, and from helping her out lol. But I cant wait!! lol x

Yes, we are planning in trying straight after the wedding. I did consider coming off the pill a couple of months before but since there's a chance my skin will go crazy I decided to waittill after

Well we have been trying for 5 years with no luck so last year we started treatment but decided to stop in the run up to the wedding. We are going to pick up the treatment again the week before the wedding though so we can try again for a honeymoon baby, or at least any baby, any time, we would be very grateful for.

At least we get to enjoy the practice though!

Good luck to everyone trying. I already have three and am happy to stop at that,i have no desire to add to my brood.

Wow, one big life decision at a time for me!!!! xx

I will most certainly be taking my pill every day during my honeymoon.. in fact I have even made sure that I have spent the last few months pushing my period week back further and further so that I am not on my period during the wedding or honeymoon. As it worked out originally, I was stopping my pill on the day of the wedding and having my period week during my honeymoon!!! ? So I got some advice about it and started cutting down the period week to 5 days instead of 7 to make sure I wasn't bloated or had the decorators in during the wedding and honeymoon.

Me and H2B have a baby together and we're not planning anymore as we have children from previous relationships too.

Oh.. and to add.. me and H2B conceived our little girl the night that we got engaged! Not planned.. we were a little merry together. We put wedding plans on hold to have the baby, she's almost 2 now. We did things a little backwards but we're glad we did!

I have changed my mind weekly about this!!! I have never felt ready to be honest but I finally feel it's time now. We're not trying straight away but have decided to stop taking the pill in August and hopefully fingers crossed we will conceive before Christmas. I know you can't plan these things so I'm not going to assume anything but those are the plans (they might change next week lol)

That's what I wanted to say. It's not necessarily one of those things you can plan. We started trying for a baby last Jan and I kept thinking "it would be nice if we had a baby at such and such a time so that I have maternity leave in the summer".

16 months on and no baby, I don't give a monkey's when I have maternity, as long as I actually get to have one!

I really dont know about this...

My OH is 31 & i'm 22, he wants to start trying straight after the wedding but im so nervous, i just dont feel maternal enough, i feel like i can't look after myself let alone looking after a baby!

We still rent & currently have a lot of debt, which i would rather get sorted first, but with our wages this could take 10-15 years & i think it would probably break us!

I will have to see how things are after the wedding, if we can atleast sort out our finances then i will be alot happier! X

I'd have definitely felt the same at 22. I think it's one of the harder parts of having an age gap. There's 8 years between me and OH and he had said that he doesn't want to have kids when he's older than 42 (which is not that far away) so hence there is a bit more pressure to get going sooner than later. I'm no spring chicken either so I reckon it's time I got on with being a grown up. As for the money side of things, everyone keeps telling me that you just "manage" (I'm earning triple what I earned at your age but still feel like I've never got any money).

No babies for us! Just not something we want to do - despite people thinking that I must be pregnant when we announced we were getting married (we had been together over 9 years and had short engagement).

i always remember whilst i was growing up how people always use to say how mature i was for my age & now im 22 (23 in 2 weeks) i feel like a teenager!

I know nothing about children & i've held 3 or 4 babies in my life! OH keeps saying that it comes naturally when you have kids but i'm worried i'll not be good enough

We agreed last year that we would wait 5 years and then start trying. Then we moved the wedding from 2012 to 2011 so it seemed to make sense to move the baby making from 2015 to 2014. Recently we have both been getting a bit broody though and OH keeps talking about what are we going to plan towards after the wedding? I am on the pill for another year and a half for my skin, then we are going travelling for a bit and then (hopefully) buying a house. So maybe after that. Probably 2013. If we had the money and had done everything we wanted to do pre-kids then I think a honeymoon baby would be lovely. I would prefer to try sooner rather than later because, like others have said, sometimes it can take a while before you get pregnant. Its a hard thing to plan.

If you ask my fiancee this question she would say yes. However ask it to me and for now i'm saying no. I do want children eventually but I don't think immediately after the wedding is the right time for us. There's going to be some fun discussions in our house after the wedding!

I agree with this. Ie before we bought our house & moved in I worried how we would cope financially. We were cautious (took a house at a mortgage which was 50,000 less than the bank said we could have), put aside £500 every month each as though we were running a house etc. And then once we got used to that we started seriously saving for wedding (another £300.00 a month each) and its been hard, but we do manage.

I know of so many people, young fit & healthy who are having problems conceiving & its heart breaking - some people dont mean any harm but the constant 'any word of babies?' question really gets them down.

So after about a year we will try & if its meant for us to have children we will.
