Definitely would have been earlier if we were married earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-823636 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 08:35:49 +0000 lemondrop 823636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even remotely feverish until 28, I wanted babies eventually, but wasn't interested until then. I didn't feel ready until 30 when my little guy showed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-823621 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 08:23:07 +0000 HazelEyes 823621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStormy, @Anagram: I am with you, I have always known I wanted kids, but "in the future." I got married at 31 and a couple months in I started thinking... hm, if we want two before I"m 35, we should get rolling! So after our delayed honeymoon I stopped BC. Fingers crossed it doesn't take too long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-823311 Fri, 31 May 2013 22:40:25 +0000 BeachMama 823311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until I was 33. I got married at 32 and the next year several of our friends got pregnant. One night DH and I were watching Life As We Know It and the baby was so cute we both looked at each other and said "I want one!" That was honestly the first time I really felt baby fever. I got pregnant that year and had DD at 34. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822907 Fri, 31 May 2013 19:03:34 +0000 HeartAbandoned 822907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably started around 26, but it's in high gear now, and I'm 27. Ideally I'll have my first sometime while I'm 28. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822896 Fri, 31 May 2013 18:59:03 +0000 SleepyMonkey 822896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>31! i was never a very maternal person and a little selfish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822894 Fri, 31 May 2013 18:57:33 +0000 mrsmate 822894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't even want kids when I got married at 28. But a few months after I got laid off at age 30, idk what happened but it just seemed like having a baby was the right thin to do at that time. I was 31 when I had DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822791 Fri, 31 May 2013 17:47:54 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 822791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some where around 25ish. I've always wanted kids so I started thinking about them as soon as DH &amp; I were engaged. It really set in about 2 years ago and I finally got my first BFP this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822696 Fri, 31 May 2013 16:30:35 +0000 cavalierkcs 822696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I'm a little nervous to tell people because I'm on the "young" side for having children in my area. Both of our parents and almost everyone I know waits until at least 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822694 Fri, 31 May 2013 16:29:36 +0000 cavalierkcs 822694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, not until after I got married a few months ago at 26. I'll be 27 when first LO arrives </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822622 Fri, 31 May 2013 16:03:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 822622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was anti-kids (for me) well into my 30s. It wasn't until I was 35 that I had a glimmer of desire. I think it came down to meeting the right person to have a family with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822597 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:57:40 +0000 SweetMamaM 822597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted kids but my baby fever really ramped up after we got engaged - so 26? Rampant now though lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822583 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:54:43 +0000 lomom 822583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21, after we got married.

Prior to that I didn't feel any urge at all to procreate and was actually scared at the thought of getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever/page/2#post-822561 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:41:14 +0000 Bookish 822561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not until after DH and I got married, soo 24ish? DH called it, actually. He insisted that my 'meh' attitude towards kids would change when we got married...aaaaand it did :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever#post-822551 Fri, 31 May 2013 15:36:29 +0000 illumina 822551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say around 30!

I was 22 when dd was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever#post-822292 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:07:36 +0000 pui 822292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>22.

I knew I wanted kids in the future, but hadn't thought a ton about it. I do have it now that I'm pregnant though! </p> <p>I only really started thinking about having a baby soon after my husband and I had several people pass within a few months of each other, and it reminded me how short life is, and how important family is, so I sort of reevaluated our goals. Plus DH has had baby fever since we got married, and at his last birthday he REALLY encouraged me to consider pulling the goalie, so I did, and we did :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever#post-821422 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:35:25 +0000 chibee 821422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always LOVED babies so, so much and i knew that was a big goal in life, but i didn't feel the actual baby fever until i turned 28. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever#post-821408 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:28:46 +0000 Anagram 821408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really got it. I guess you could say I have it now (AFTER getting pregnant).</p> <p>I always knew I wanted kids "one day", I just never felt a pressing urge to have them right away. I'm also not the type to coo over every baby I see (pre-pregnancy...now I notice every baby in a 5 mile radius).</p> <p>Anyway, one month after marriage, DH and I kind of joked around about being old and maybe needing to get started soon, since we got married at 32. The next month, we stopped preventing...and 2 weeks later, I had a positive blue line. It happened before I could really process everything...I REALLY thought it would take us 6 months or so, in which time I would wrap my head around the idea of being a parent.</p> <p>But...the 9 months of pregnancy has gotten me a lot more ready. Interesting how that works out--must be the hormones, from a biological perspective. It helps that I have a wonderful husband that I think will be an awesome dad....that makes it all seem less scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever#post-821403 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:25:56 +0000 Reese 821403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>27/28 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever#post-821401 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:25:28 +0000 .twist. 821401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: me too.

Then it went away for awhile, then it started back up in my late 20s and I had LO when I was 29. DH wanted to start trying right after we got married and I was the one to put the brakes on and say lets have a year of marriage first, which is kinda opposite to how we talked about kids when we first met. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever#post-821393 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:22:00 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 821393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 24ish right after I got married. I've always wanted kids though, but after we got married it was baby fever like woah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-got-baby-fever#post-821387 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:18:43 +0000 .twist. 821387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL. </p> <p>uh.... 12? </p> <p>I've wanted to be a mom/have a baby for a loooooooooong time. </p>
