Being nosey, are you married? planning to/not get married before TTC?


Hey guess i am being nosey really,
Well in my eyes theres nothing more wonderful in the whole wide word than having children and i would love to have a baby. To me a wedding, yes is a lovely day with the attention on the happy couple, but its a lot of money for one day- and i kinda want a baby NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! A lot of people say oh you should get married before you have children- didnt realise there was a rule!! lol

Guess i wondered which ladies WTC are married? or maybe you plan to have children before you get married? Please share your story...

I'm married, not for that long though - just over 7 months. OH and I are going to start TTC in Jan/Feb next year. While I'm very excited about it all and can't wait to be a mum and for us to be parents, it's not something I've been dreaming about for years and years like it is with some women. I always assumed I'd have kids sooner or later but it wasn't that strong a 'need'. Since the day I met OH though, I knew he'd be 'the one' and since getting married the wanting kids has gotten stronger and stronger... Now I can't wait!!!

I am married. I have been for about a year and a half. When I got married, I wasn't thinking about babies at all. I laughed at anyone who asked me when we were expanding our family. Then in about May, I cracked. It was like a switch in my head just turned on and I wanted a baby NOWNOWNOW.

I am still waiting for Husband to make his mind up on it

I don't think you need to be married to have a baby. I think some people are just really traditional about it.

I agree, you dont need to get married to have a baby but as you say, there are more traditional people that would prefer it.
I'm not married and never was to my 16 year old's father.. we split up when she was 2.
My OH is more traditional tho and says that if we ever decide to have a baby then he'd like us to be married first. I want to get married anyway so we'll probably tie the knot in the next few years wether we have a baby or not

hey i'm not married but i agree with the ladies on here, i dont think its a big deal if you're not married some people are just traditional. I believe that if you and your partner plan on staying together and its both what you want and you realize what it entales then go for it! no one has the right to judge you cause of that...anyway good luck girlie

Thankyou this is what i thought! i am not totally dead against it, i would love a wedding but at the moment it just seems a lot of money on one day. and if you had children before hand it would be nice and special if they were involved in the wedding too!
