I never considered having kids until I was 29!
-
I was 24 when I decided I wanted a baby, we started trying when I was 25, and had DS when I was 27.
-
I started thinking about kids soon after we married at 29 for me. We didn't start trying until we were married for 2 years. I got pregnant at 31 and had my son at 32.
-
I first knew I wanted to be a mom when I was 12. I seriously started thinking about having kids when I was 20. I was ready to start trying as soon as I said "I do!"
-
Ever since I was little I knew I wanted to be a mom, all I did was play with dolls! I seriously started thinking about it when dating DH though.
-
When we got engaged, I think. We both got the fever really bad about three months after our wedding though.
-
I have always wanted children, but I started thinking about it significantly about 6 months after our wedding. It took another few months for DH to feel ready, by then I had major baby fever.
-
When I dumped my ex at 25.
-
Right after the wedding, when I was 23. I'm 25 now and we are just starting to try!
-
Right after we got married...so like 27, maybe 28.
-
for probably a few months i've had baby fever. i'm 24.
-
28! I'm not a doctor or world traveller, but I just wasn't ready to lose my freedom. Now that I have a LO, I realize it would have been just fine to have one sooner, I was just afraid! Our LO came at just the right time though, we were definitely emotionally ready and so super excited to have a baby!
-
I've always wanted to have kids and have been thinking about it since I was a little girl. I got serious baby fever when we got engaged though.
-
I think I've always wanted to have children. I used to play with dolls when I was a little girl and used to stick a pillow up my jumper, pretending I was pregnant.
As an adult, I've never been gooey over babies. I know I never stopped wanting children - I dumped two longish term boyfriends while in my twenties because they said they never wanted to have kids - but it was always a "one day in the future" kind of dream. It still is, in a way, but at 31 I felt like my time had started running out (I want three!!) Like @SlightFigureOfSpeech: said - I just loved my freedom too much.
-
Not until I was 31!
-
Forever! But DH and I didn't decide to NTNP until our first anniversary.
-
I think it was pretty much immediately after we got married. Well actually even before the wedding because I stopped the pill before the wedding.
-
We got married at 23 and kids were always in the plan, in a vague faraway sense. (Except the year around 25 when I wasn't sure I wanted kids at all).
It started to become a real consideration around 26, but still a few years away until the switch just flipped for me after my 27th bday
-
I always knew I wanted kids, and would never seriously date someone who didn't want kids in the future. DH and I started dating when we were 22, so at a certain point, the math for having kids before we got too old started going (ie, we should be engaged by 28 if we want time to have at least two kids before 35 and have some time after the wedding before starting to try.)
We got married at 29, and about a year later the baby fever hit really bad, but didn't start trying until I was 31. I'll be 32 when I have this LO.
I would have been ready for everything to be moved up a little, but DH wasn't ready until now and I guess it's important that we both be on the same page with something kind of big like this
-
About 6 months after marriage, DH was getting his master degree while working 50+hours a week, so we had little time together. We decided to wait until we were married a year and half, so we would have more time just us when he finished school. We got our BFP two weeks before his finals.
-
We had planned to wait until we were 27 but we decided when I ran out of BC to just see what happened over the few months until I could get in to see a doctor. We were 23 and sure enough, I got pregnant during those few months.
-
I've always wanted to be a mom, but didn't seriously start thinking about kids until a year after we were married?
-
I wish I had everyone's ability to have planned! I knew I wanted to have kids but I always figured they would be after I graduated. Or at least after I married! Well, I sorta got the last part right... our son was born three months after our already planned for (no shotguns here!) wedding. So I'm 22 now, my son's nearly a year old, we're expecting our second child in March. Now if only I could figure out when I'll graduate...
-
@AutumnLove @Crumbs: Not until 31 - right after I met (and started dating) my DH.
-
I've always wanted to be a mom. It wasn't realistic to start trying though until I was 27 (hubs and I finally lived in the same city full time, we bought a home, we had ample stable income,etc). We got pregnant with our sticky baby 3 months after we started trying and she was born when I was 28.
-
I've always wanted kids, but we didn't start talking about kids seriously until a trip to Disney almost exactly 4 years ago. We got engaged soon after, married a year later, and started trying soon after the wedding.
