Babies

E) for us too. We'd like at least 12-18 months to ourselves to holiday etc before we start thinking about babies. I've never been massively broody but the past few months I have become sure that I do want a baby one day

Camp C, still fairly new to it but recent events have convinced me that camp D wasn't enough for me and I needed to be encouraging things along a bit, life is too short sometimes!

A) and E).

I was a young mum and the year I turn 40, my kids will be 18 and 21 that year as well. I kind of like the idea of entering my 40's with two adult children.

E at the moment until after the wedding then plan is to move to D. I'm a very impatient person though, so I can see that D will quickly become C!

We're Camp E and will be for some time; I'm starting a PGCE in September and definitely don't want to be preggers at the same time! After that we'll consider a move into D and C but it'll depend on my job situation as if I've just started a new job I'll need to think about when my maternity benefits kick in.

We're not financially ready yet. We'd like to move into a house first and pay off most of our student debt. We'll probably be moving to d) / c) in about 3-4 years.

We're in camp d/e (if that is possible). I have come off the pill to have a look at my cycles as come January will be in c. We both have good jobs and a house and we've both turned 30 now and I'll be 31 in couple of months. I've always said I want to be pregnant by 32 as I would like at least 2 children and if nature doesn't take its course straight away I would prefer to start sooner rather than later and find out I've missed the boat.

Im on the rollercoaster!

G for me. I'd love children but my OH has had a vasectomy.

Hugs to those trying.

Definitely (F) for my answer.

Never been maternal, and please don't shoot me down but.... I don't really like children. I'm not totally cold hearted and will give a baby a cuddle (well, just my neice and nephews really!) but just don't 'get' kids. Weirdly, this seems to make me like cat-mint to them and I never know what to do!

I'm exactly the same as you Twickers and I have a child!

Currently E/D (as in we are only using the "getting off at Crewe" method as I have stopped taking the pill to get it out of my system). Hoping to move into C in the new year, if it happens before then, I will count myself very lucky but just wanted to sort the finances out first so I can have the maximum amount of Mat Leave.

At least it's not just me!

One of my Oh's sisters thinks the same way (the other 2 sisters have kids) and we are always nagged at family events about having babies. She is 40 soon so is hoping it will stop as she'll just tell people she's too old now! But I'm 31 - so have years of his mum and aunts nagging!

I also get the sympathetic head tilt and 'oh you'll change your mind' comments from near strangers - though why they feel it's ok to even ask about things like that at social events I don't know!

I would hate this. It's no-one else's business, and what if there were medical reasons for not having children?!

I have had this for the last 10 years; "when are you having another one, when are you having one". It is really annoying!

I find it really f**king insensitive when people start probing you at family do's etc about if/when babies are coming, it's such a personal and private matter.

FPIL have been nagging us for ages about having grandkids, especially since WP started. OH and my mum find this hilarious and keep (jokingly) asking me whether I'm pregnant yet, or when are the triplets due? Don't mind it so much now but used to really annoy me.

Feel really sorry for you Twickers, its so insensitive of them, I think some people really struggle to understand that not everyone wants children and that that is ok.

I always think though, people don't know whether the couple they are nagging about having babies are even able to have them. I can imagine for some couples its too painful to talk about fertility issues, you just don't know what their situation is.

I'm in the upduffed category.

We went through the whole "so, it'll be kids next then" comments after we got married and eventually people stopped asking. We wanted to enjoy being married for a bit first and we needed to move to a bigger house. With that done we were ready to start trying.

I'm an A)

I have my one daughter who's 13 in Sept and shes enough :o) - even with my ex I was always being asked when am I having more, etc!

now I'm with hubby - I'm surprised that some people would think that naturally we would be having our own - even at 41 (my) and 45 (h) ages

its a nice age and we can enjoy each others company and go through life with no more little ones - hubby didn't want to be a father but he's happy being a stepdad

Hillarious - the Glasgow version is "getting off at Gilmour Street"

Yes it is very insensitive - no one knows your personal circumstances. I'm not going to fall pregnant naturally and I get upset when people make comments like this, as must those TTC with no luck, or having suffered losses.

The lastest I got was from my own mother when I made a remark about a bad smell she replied "Oooh you are going to have to get over that when the pooey nappies come along!" Erm, not going to happen!

A for me. I have 2, and 2 step kids. We discussed another, but decided to concentrate on the 4 we've got.

I never wanted children at all. I had no maternal instinctsl, and I don't like kids (apart from my own, makes having step kids quite interesting). My first son was a happy accident when I was 18, and my youngest was planned, but only after another unplanned pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, and I had a deep urge for another child. Wish i'd had that urge when i was younger though, I would have liked to have been finished having kids when I was under 25.

Just starting c) and I am hoping to avoid the emotioanl rollercoaster as both me and hubby are more than ready and would love nothing more to be parents this time next year. Good luck to all you c's out there

(a) a boy 4 and girl 3 (11months part)

(g) trying to decide if I want another?????

We are e at the moment with 3 days until the wedding!! When the wedding is done then we will initially move to d as I don't want to put pressure on myself to concieve straight away and also would be nice to have some time together first and find our future house but I do really want a family and as they say the timing is never right so if it happens great, if not then we will move to c next year sometime ?

Currently e) due to career constrainsts- we're not even in the same city 4 nights a week. Hopefully be looking to move to c/d in about 3 years from now... counting down!

Bring biscuits ️☕️

Definitely camp c and have been for the last 10 months

I am camp c/d too - was going to wait to get more hours at work but having gone through the process twice in two years I decided that I can't put my life on hold for work .... also in camp a as have 2 step kids

We're camp c/d we were going to wait until OH comes back from next Afghan tour but then I found out that I may have a lot of trouble conceiving due to medical problems so we figured we give it a shot and see where we get!

E. None for me thank you. Although that doesn't stop everyone asking us when we will start trying.. I have my reply down to a fine art now.. ?

Whats your reply date twin?
