GTKY? How long did you wait before baby #1?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: GTKY? How long did you wait before baby #1?
- Met/started dating August 2004 (so we've been together going on 7 years)
- Married May 22, 2010 (will have been married just over 1 yr if he stays put to/after EDD)
- Pregnant September 2010
Been together 11 years in Sept
Married 4 years the week before I am due
Started trying about 6 mos after we got married
BFP almost exactly 3 years later
We have been together for 9 yrs 3 mos and married for 6.5 years. It took us 14 months to conceive.
Despite our ages, we waited for a few reasons:
1) DH lost his mother to breast cancer 2 days after we returned from our honeymoon and than his brother to lung cancer 13 mos later. He needed time to mourn and get through their losses so close together
2) We needed to sell my small cottage and buy a bigger home. We didn't feel comfortable doing this until we paid down debt and felt comfortable with our financial picture and had a healthy emergency fund and other savings.
Lets just say its taken my DH a long time to talk me into having kids....
We started dating in HS in 1996. Were on and off while I was in college. Moved in together in 2002. Lived together for 7 years before we got married in 2009. Went off BC in June 2010 and found out I was pregnant Labor Day weekend 2010.

Met in May 2008, found out I was pregnant in Aug 2008 (not planned) but unfortunetely lost it
Been trying ever since... Found out in Aug 2010 that we were expecting!!!
Moved kinda quick but after all we've been thru, he's The One!
No one else will ever know the strength of my LOVE for you. After all, you're the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside
Married to the Milk Man
We started trying fairly soon after our wedding. I got pregnant 3 months after our wedding. We celebrated our 1st anniversary 3 days before DD1 was born. We also had been together 6-7 years at that point, living together for almost 4.
DD2: February 2014
When baby comes: we will have been married for almost 3 years and together for over 9 years.
We were only married 3 months when we found out we were expecting DS, (We were not trying but not preventing since our wedding day.) We had been together just over a year.
We have now been married almost 3 years and together almost 4.
We had been together for 4 1/2 years. We got married at 12w 1d. It didn't happen how I had always imagined but it was perfect!
BFP #1 9/7/10, EDD 5/14/11, Violet born 5/27/11.
BFP #2 4/9/12, EDD 12/16/12, M/C Rory 4/24/12.
BFP #3 10/6/12, EDD 6/16/12., Matilda born 6/17/13.
I guess I will be the first single mommy to reply.
I dated the "baby daddy" for almost 3 months before I found out I was pregnant. It was a big shock since we obviously were not trying to get pregnant. We aren't together but we are still very close and maintain a good relationship.
