Honeymoon babies?

I was just wondering if anyone else conceived on their honeymoon or if it is really rare??

Our baby boy was an unexpected honeymoon surprise. It?definitely?made the first year of marriage a little harder I think, seeing as how I started puking a month after our wedding and didn't stop until 2 months ago.

Mostly, though, I am tired of the comments that people make. "Wow, you two got busy fast." ?"Couldn't have waited?" ?"You have totally screwed up your marriage." ? "Didn't you know you should wait a few years first?"

Anyone else or is it just me??

Re: Honeymoon babies?

  • There are some times when all you can do is smile and say STFU.

  • I'm sorry people are being rude...My DH is in the military and we wanted to try for orders out of NC, in order for them to move both of you , you have to be married. We got married in April but our wedding we set for October. I got pregnant in May. I was 22 weeks pregnant the day we got married. You can't even tell in the pictures. So tell all those people to shove off!!! I have no regrets about getting pregnant before my wedding.

  • Wow... STFU works nicely for most of those situations.. People suck.
  • We got out BFP the day after our wedding.  We did get married kind of quickly (1 year to the day of our first kiss).  I've gotten a few comments from people like "so that's why you had to get married".  It's totally rude and I just tell them "No, we had been trying for months".

  • We are having a honeymoon baby. I can't stand it when I get the 20 questions. No one has a right to say anything to me. At this point, I roll my eyes. My personal favorite is "Don't you think you should have waited?". I respond with "If I thought we should have waited, we wouldn't be in this situation." I try my best to fight off the comments. I then make them feel like crap by adding "We're extremely lucky. Alot of people try for years and we were blessed enough to have them right away". Puts it in perspective for plenty of people.

    For the most part, people think that its great. Something you dont' talk about or see as often anymore. Those are the people that give you the happiest and most sincere "Congrats" F everyone else.Smile 

  • Thanks for the responses! Most of the comments were in the beginning, but now that I am so close to my due date, I get a LOT of phone calls. It starts with, have you had the baby yet, and continues into, you should have waited.?

    At this point, anyone who makes comments is not getting a "He's Here" phone call. ?image

  • my cousin is pregnant with a honeymoon baby....she had issues with ovarian cysts a few years ago, and is now over 30, so her OB told her if they were going fo r kids anytime soon it could take a while, due to her scar tissue...so they got hitched, tossed the pills, and headed to Jamaica...it was a surprise to get pregnant on the first cycle, but a welcomed one!

    my baby isn't a honeymoon baby but pretty close....we married one year to the day after we (well, I) stopped seeing other people and became a couple...we tossed the pills a month later and then I got pregnant another month or so later...so we get the "getting busy fast" comments all of the time....i shrug it off and say, "well, my daughter is 10 and my stepson is almost 5, so we figured we'd finish the kids out now and have time for ourselves after they are all out of the house or in college...no kids in the house by 50, not a bad plan!"

    STFU should work well too.....people are so rude....

  • i got pregnant 5 months after we got married and i still got all the comments of us moving really fast into kids.?

  • I got pregnant 7 months after out wedding and I still get comments. I just want to tell them to mind their own business.
  • I got pregnant on my wedding night. We weren't even trying, still using protection, but some things are just meant to be! We were together for years before, so no one has really said much, except "didn't waste any time, did you?" to which I reply "no, obviously not." If anything, it's strengthened us - we already feel like we've been married forever! I was actually really embarrassed about it at first, but obviously I've gotten over it!
  • We were going to try for a honeymoon baby.  Then my cycle decided to reboot itself to being a few days shorter and it became apparent that, not only would our HM not be optimal conception time, but I would probably get my period before the end of it! 

    So we said "F*CK THAT" and started trying the cycle before our wedding.  I got pregnant that first month. Wink

  • I got pregnant also on my wedding night and I was at the end of my period.  Everyone says you must have been pregnant before you got married but we stopped having sex about a month or two before the wedding to have a "special night". 

  • We went on our Honeymoon 2 months after our wedding... and yes thats where it happened !

  • Ours is a honeymoon baby too - totally planned. We get different @sshole comments, though, because between the two of us, this makes #5. He had 2, I had 2 and now we will have one together. People love to make "too many" comments or act like this must have been a terrible surprise - when I tell them we are very excited and lucky, and that it was planned, they tend to shake their heads like we must not know better (!!??). That is usually my queue to deliver the STFU.
