When should you start to try to have babies?

Question

My husband and I just got married in January. He's in the military and is currently at AIT and we will finally be living together as Husband and Wife this summer!! I can't freaking wait!!! I also have HUGE baby fever. Being we just got married should we wait awhile to start having kids? Just let it happen when it happens or what? Just want to see what y'all think? I'm 21, my husband is 20 😊

Answer

I think you should wait a year to have kids. The first year of marriage is the hardest.  Get to know each other while also getting used to living together.

Answer

When you both feel ready emotionally and financially. For the record, I'm glad my husband and I had a few years of "us" time. But that doesn't mean it's right for everyone!

Answer

My husband and I waited 8 years to start having kids. We were married at 19 and he is in the air force.  We waited so we could get to spend time together just the 2 of us and it also helped us get more financially stable since they don't make much the first few years as airmen.  Also I was able to get used to deployments and being okay while he was gone. If I had kids to care for and had to go through those first few years of deployments it would have been so much harder on me and our marriage.  The first year is the hardest to get used to each other anyway. Take some time for the 2 of you but there is no right or wrong time to start having kids.

Answer

It's whenever you guys feel ready there is no "set time" because everyone is different. I spent most of the first year of my marriage on deployment. Me and my husband are both active duty. When I came back and we finally got stationed together we started trying and now I'm pregnant. Couldn't be happier!

Answer

Have you's ever lived together?? Have you's lived together since you got married?? If NO then perhaps enjoy a little time as husband and wife, but ultimately it is up to you and ur husband, what are his thoughts on it??

Answer

My husband and I started trying on our 2 year wedding anniversary and I'm so glad we waited those 2 years. We did some traveling, enjoyed weekends away at the cabin and really connected with each other just as husband and wife. However, it's your life. I know couples who waited and regretted it and couples who got pregnant on their honeymoon and are happier then they've every been. It's really up to you and what you and your hubby believe is best for yourselves. 😊

Answer

I personally would wait a few years if I was you to do some things just the two of you and enjoy married life together first like holidays etc. Spontaneous weekends away or day trips without planning and excessive car packing first! Whilst you can obviously still go on holidays etc after having kids, not necessarily to same places on same type of holidays. I wish I had met my husband at your age, you have so many things to look forward to that you can enjoy together. When you feel ready for kids by all means go for it but there is no rush and you are fortunate to have found each other so early in life you can literally do it all!

Answer

Don't listen to anyone else . If you think you are ready for a kid then do it .

Take me as an example my husband is in the military active duty I am 24 and his 25 and when we first got married I had baby fever and me being me I started to listen to people telling me not to have kids yet because I was too young . 4 years later ..... still waiting for baby #1 . Do it before he gets deployed or some other reason.

If this is what you want go for it !!!!!

My husband has been in for almost 7 years . 
And he has been deployed 4 times !!!! Now that he is on "shore duty" we actually tried and come to find out it wasn't happening for us .

So do it if you are ready.!!! If that's what you really want go for it .
