Babies: How long are YOU waiting?

Just curious...

Have any of you thought past the wedding?
Have you talked about when you're going to have your very own baby bump??

We've talked about it, and we want to wait for at least two years so we can travel a bit (Greece next year whoooo!)....

But just curious- I know some of you have kids already (yay!) but what about those of you who don't?! Thought about it?

I love babies!! <3

I think we're waiting until May/June 2011 to get pregnant, so just about 2 years. Our daughter is almost 6 so she will be closer to 9 when the baby is born.

We have thought about it, and discussed it and we are going to wait at least 4 years after we are married. We are both in our early 20's, and I am just not ready for children yet. He would have children now if I agreed, lol.

No need, we have our 2 daughters together and a total of 6! Oldest is 21 in college and 3 at 14!...The littlest ones are 8 & 9. NO MORE!!!! I would say a good time to have children is a couple of years right after marrying. Get the traveling out of your systems now and see the world before having a family. Just some good advice to a second marriage Budget Queen. First marriage we had our son in the 5th year of marriage, BUT we got the traveling out the system. I wish I finished college first, then traveled, then married, then property, then children. I'm grilling that into our children NOW to follow my steps above this line. Life is beautiful once you get it out of your system first. For those who want to right away...go for it! If it happens lovely...But if not wonderful...Enjoy your life as one first!

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I will be 30 in June and my biological clock is ticking away! Part of me would love to get pregnant right after the wedding, but part of me is thinking of going back to school for a Masters. I also want to be more financially stable than we are now. I kind of feel like if I haven't had a baby by the time I'm 32, it probably isn't going to happen. I honestly never wanted kids until this past year, so I guess if it happens it does, and if not it wasn't really meant to be.

We are actually trying NOW !!! Our wedding is in Aug. but I have fertility issues and know it could take awhile so we decided to just start the meds now and see what happens. Worse case senerio I will be 3 months prego at the wedding. Honetsly, at this point in our lives it is more important to us to have a baby  rather then look "perfect" in my wedding dress.

We too are planning on about waiting 5 years! We have been together for 6 years and I'm 25 and he's 24 we own our own house and I've been out of school 3 years and he's been out 1 year so we would be okay if "something" happens...but ideally we want to be more settled with our careers and such with more savings, etc.

To be totally honest my personal goal is to get to EUROPE on a vacation before kids come into the picture b/c if we don't, we won't or won't for at least a LONG time. So if we made it to Europe by 2012 then maybe 3 years is even to wait...only time will tell.

I love babies and think it's such a magically thing two people can create but I'm still totally grossed out with whole pregnant belly thing...I have this vision of my sitting at work with this HUGE prego tummy and I can't even reach my keyboard...I believe that is a sure sign I am NOT ready.

We are both ready to have children as soon as we're married!!  We both waited to get married because we both have jobs that required a lot of schooling and we wanted to get all of that out of the way and be completely focused on each other.  We also love to travel - we've done lots of it and plan to travel with our children too.   We are very ready to "settle" into a happy little home with a family of our own - maybe only one or possibly two children if we can.  I have never looked forward to anything as much as this in my entire life! :o)

probably at least 2 years as well! when we get married I'll be 22 and he'll be 23. He'll be in his last year of University as well, so maybe a year later, who knows, but probably more like 2 years. I don't want to have one yet, but I definitely don't want to wait like 5+years really. We'll see :)

6 months to a year after marriage. I dont want to wait too long...I dont want to be an old mom..lol..and to have at least one baby before I'm 30. To those who are waiting more than a year and you are at least the age of 30 with no children i would suggest trying as soon as possible....it may take you more than a year to get pregnant, you just never know and if you do end up getting pregnant it's never guaranteed a healthy pregnancy the first time or the second time. So if your 30 you basically have until the age of 34 or 35 to have a lower risk of having a baby with downs syndrome. Nothings ever guaranteed in life and our biological clocks are precious becuase it doesnt last forever. It's not like we can stop it. Of course I would love to travel and spend as mucjh WE time as possible but it's just something to definitely think about.

well he'll be (hopefully) just outta school, me still in school for a year because i decided to take my sweet time!!  so we'll be waiting although there's no definite time limit.  where i work everyone has kids so i'm not so excited about waiting for years...but we like you also want to travel if possible.. so we'll see!!
ps it's really not all that living in hawaii... you could say its just not as special cos i live in waikiki..but its small, surrounded by water, expensive, thousands of miles away from anything else, and theres a lot of traffic.  i would love to honeymoon here if i were from anywhere else though!!  :)  i used to live on kauai, it's a lot nicer than oahu for honeymooning if you just wanna get away.. i'm sure you'll have an awesome time!

We talked about trying next year; I have a feeling that it's going to take us a while to get pregnant so I don't mind 'practicing' in January... he's already told his mom that we're thinking about starting a family soon so I'm excited that he's on board with all this. :)

I'd welcome any "accident" with open arms, but we'd like to wait. One I am about to start nursing school and he'll be graduating college this weekend so he doesn't even have a job yet! We'd prefer to have a house before a baby comes along, but sometimes it doesn't work that way. I LOVE BABIES too... there are days where I want one NOW and other days where I'd wait another 5 yrs

Four years from now. Three years after the wedding. This is when we have decide to revisit the idea of having kids. I wanted to have time to enjoy each other before adding to the mix. Plus, once you have kids you can’t give them back, so why not enjoy a few year alone compared to rest of your life with the kids.

Not for a couple of years, I graduate in 2011. I am in college & it's going to be a very demanding schedule. If I do happen to get pregnant unplanned then of coarse I would be thrilled. I would just have to make a few adjustments to make it work.

We have no idea, probably at some point in the next 2-5 years, lol.
We are waiting til my residency goes through for the USA, which they said can take up to 2 years. Then we want to buy a house, and we have 2 big trips we want to take.
I don't want to have to move with kids, I loved growing up in the same house, so that 's a big deal to us.

At this point? No kids at all.

Neither of us are really interested in children. We love them, don' get me wrong - he has young guitar students, and he performs for little kids as a magician. I work with them at hospitals. We love kids and love making them smile, but we don't want to be responsible for any ourselves.

We're realistic about this: we both know it's possible that years from now, our minds could change. And we won't do anything that may prevent us from having them should that change occur. But at this time, children are simply not in the cards for us.
