Baby Bug!!!

[Hope75]

Hi All,

My FH and I are getting married in about 3 months and we want to try for a baby right away. In recent months my biological clock has started ticking with a vengeance. We've got the baby bug in a BIG way!

Just wanted to see if anyone else is feeling the baby bug like we are.:D

Can't wait to start trying!

[Rainbow Brite]

We've got it too, but we're trying to be ultra logical/smart about the whole thing and have planned to wait a couple years. The waiting SUCKS though!!

[StarCoveter]

Definitely have the baby bug. We want to get rid of some of our debt first, and then try for a baby within the next 3 years (before I turn 29).

[ChibiAiChan]

gotta wait til sean is on board with the whole baby thing lol

[Ninedays9]

I get it on the occassion. I think it'll be there more once we're actually married. It's kinda weird, I always wanted kids but now that I'm actually with someone, the whole idea scares me greatly. But I'm 90% sure I still want them... every first time parent is scared on some level. It'll probably be a couple years from now.

I know what you mean. There's never been a question in my mind about whether I wanted kids, and now that I'm engaged it's more "ehh... maybe? Do I want them?" I'm sure in a few years I'll get the bug again, but right now the whole idea freaks me out.

omgoodness i have baby fever something awful! Joey is super sensible about things... blah blah blah ... money, house, etc. ... so i gues i'll wait! ;-) but i don't wanna! he wants to wait a few years after the wedding... so that's the plan right now... unless by some miracle i finish up grad school in the next year and get a fabulous job in the legal field where i can work from home!

ME TOO!!! I know we are not ready financialy ready. But for the past few months I have had baby fever! It doesn't help that llike 10 girls I know are either pregnant or just had babies. And just last week my mom and I went to visit my friend who had a baby. When we were leaving she asks "so when are you going to make me a grandma":bbeek: SERIOUSLY!!! not helping!

So I guess we will wait a year or two also:bbneutral:

[Hope75]

Oh yeah,

We are getting the 'I need a grandchild' from my FMIL (but then again, we have been for about 5 years!) and my own father has casually mentioned he'd like a grandson to go fishing with. LOL.

Another few months!

[vicky_vicky]

Ha ha we both have the baby bug definately!!! We just cant wait! We want a baby right now not even after 9 months! LOL thats funny! We kow we have to wait untill the wedding and of course untill our house is ready(before the wedding of course) because babies need homes:D but we being so silly sometimes, we both end up "I want baby boy, no I want baby girl, ok lets have both etc".

Sometimes we totally freak out(the good way) and we are like awww check out that baby thing etc thats when he brings me back to reality "With all that stuff our baby will become stupid, poor future baby!!!" LOL:D

[horse345]

We aren't! LOL. FH and I are getting married fairly young (we will both be 22 when we get married) and I just want him to myself for several years before we even think about kids...once you have kids your life completely changes!

[octoberbride09]

I have the baby bug too! We are going to start trying right after the wedding!! I am excited about it!! We already have the house, and we are pretty much set with financial stuff..what we do have or owe on isn't going to go away anytime soon seeing how most of it is in the morgage! As soon as we got engaged, I said.." I want a baby" he said okay let do it..like as is now! haha I was like NOOO way I want the wedding first..there is to much planning in itself and stress I don't think I could do both..so hopefully next winter we will be expecting!!!!

[brendalin]

We totally want a baby NOW! However we know that we aren't ready to bring another person into this world. :bbcry: We have to get all our ducks in a row before we start having babies! So for now my fur baby will do just fine!

[Jacobs_Girl]

We have the baby bug as well!! I'm 26 about to turn 27 and he's 24! He really really wants a little boy! Yanno so he can teach him how to fish and stuff.

We have really been trying and of course we both quit smoking. He cooks healthy food more often now and we've been reading a few baby books. :D

[BarceloMayaPalaceBride]

We absolutely have a baby bug!!!! Actually, last month I went to the doctor for my "pre-conception" appt. I will start taking pre-natals next month!!!!! We get married in January, and after the wedding it's BABY TIME! :D I'm so excited!!!! I wish luck to all of you!!!! :)

[Hope75]

Haha looks like there is a lot of us out there!

I came off the pill 3.5 months ago and started taking prenatals right away (per my MD's advice just in case we got pregnant right away) but we are now officially trying. (cycle just started so won't be till at least the wedding). Hopefully it will happen quick!

Good luck to all the future brides who are as excited as we are to get started!

[southern*belle*]

I want a baby so bad!! DH and I talked about it, and while we aren't actively trying, we aren't preventing either. Let nature take it's course, that's my motto!!!

thats what my OBGYN said to start taking prenatal pills if your not on any birth control methods, I have them but sometimes I forget to take them lol

[Scrwballsgrl]

Ya'll are all so cute! I don't have the baby bug just yet....the sad thing is Fh and I talked about it....really when we first started getting serious b/c he had cancer as a young adult (around 20 & 22) and with the chemo treatments he underwent he doesn't know if he'll be able to have children.
That was one of the discussions that made us realize we wanted to spend our life together b/c he asked me if it turned out that he couldn't would I have any objections against adoption (which I dont') and we just fell more in love from there:)

Hopefully God will bless us one day and he can have children (which we wont know for sure til we try:winktongue: )and thats not gonna happen til after the wedding, (7mths away) and then we woud still want to have at least a year or so just the two of us. But all things happen for a reason... I'm sorry I wasn't trying to be the downer on the thread but just wanted to add my experience & hopes to the conversation:)

To all ya'll that are planning on trying soon, good luck!

I'd also heard that about the prenatal viatamins, and my sister is wanting to start takign some in order to help her hair and skin before the wedding.:)

Oh, I've got baby lust in the worst way! We're working on getting our finances in line and establishing a healthier lifestyle (better food, more exercise) with the thought of getting pregnant late next summer.

The tricky part: I'm in vet school, which is stressful and highly demanding, and also limits our "timing" options. Basically, the only period in which I'll not be exposed to nasty chemicals is during my second year (starting next fall) - first year is all anatomy lab and nasty fixatives... third year and beyond has a lot of surgical work (which includes gas anesthesia that's BAD for pregnancy).

Since I don't want to wait until I graduate to start a family (I'll be turning 30 at that point), I've got a rather narrow window to get pregnant in order to not risk exposure and try to stay out of the way of exams and such! (Basically late Aug-Oct next fall would be best - baby would be born after finals in early May and give me time to be home with her/him over the summer).

I'm kind of freaked to be planning this seriously - part of me says I'm not ready, at all, but I also am eager to get started!

I have the baby bug something HORRIBLE!! my boss's wife just had a baby and he brings it in all the time. it makes me want one sooo much more!! my FH and I are having the "talk" tonight (his request not mine) i think we're going to start trying the same night as our wedding! :D

[Hope75]

Congratulations!!!

My fiance and I found out we are pregnant last week... totally ending the dress hunt that was in progress! but we are so excited... and so are our parents... kind of got over the problems they have with future hubby!

I refuse to have children before I am 30. DH and I want to travel to many more places and do many more things together before we have to devote our lives to another human being. Don't get me wrong, I like kids, but I feel it will be healthy for our relationship to wait quite a few more years.

Yeah, we felt that way too. We have lived together for 6 years, own our own home and are 32 and 33 so by the time we got married we were READY!

I think it's smart to give yourself that time and do it when the time is right for you, so you can give the attention it requires.
