Hey ladies! I’m interested to see what what people think about my situation, I got married 3 years ago, and one of my best friends from high school married her husband a year later. Her and her husband are now our best friends, they were both in our wedding and there really just our favorite couple to hang out with. Anyway, when they got married we made a pact so that if either of us got pregnant, the other would try to also get pregnant so our kiddos could grow up together, and also so we could go through all the fun pregnancy classes and such together! We always go back and forth saying how we have baby fever but we’re still young (22, and my husband is 25) so maybe we should keep waiting. Well, on New Year’s Eve she found out she is pregnant! So now I’m like shoot I guess it’s go time! I work as a bartender and I’ve had a few regulars (all Middle Aged guys) ask me when we plan on having kids and I’ve told them this whole story, and all of them said NO WAY don’t do it... then, I met a woman who is 8 months pregnant and told her about it and she said 100% I should, and that she would have given anything to have a friend to do all of it with, especially because she had drifted apart from her friends that didn’t have kids yet. Has anyone done this? What do you guys think? (Also, my husband and I are very happily married, have a spare bedroom and are financially thriving, so none of that is an obstacle)

Don’t base when you have kids on anyone else. Do it when YOU are ready.

Bestfriend and i are 3 weeks apart! Hers was unplanned and mine was. My sis is also preg but much further along! It’s nice to have them to talk about certain things.

If you’re ready I’d say go for it...but ultimately make sure you and your husband are both mentally ready for it. A friend of mine and I found out we’re both expecting only 3 days apart and it awesome to have her to talk to about things through this because she understands...but ultimately make sure you’re ready. Not to mention....I don’t know how long your friend has been trying...or if you are on birth control there are many factors that could effect when you get pregnant...so if she’s already a few months a long and you start trying you may not actually get to be pregnant together....not to be a downer...but it is always a possibility. I’m 25 and healthy and was on BC for at least 7 years and it took my husband and I a year to conceive after I went off...so there is a lot of factors to consider....but ultimately make sure you BOTH are ready to start the next step....think about all of the things you wanted to do before kids...think about how your lives will change...it’s a big step.

Me and my best friend were pregnant at the same time, our daughters are only a few weeks apart but we didn’t plan it lol It was amazing to have somebody to talk about everything with and be on the same page in life. Our daughters were our second child, we both have sons as well who are only 7 months apart so it’s super fun for us all to get together and just let the kids play

Do it!! Me and my best friend had our babies 6 weeks apart (didn’t mean to get pregnant together) and it ended up being a lot of fun! As long as you and your husband are ready why not 😍

My sister was about 6 months pregnant when I found out I was pregnant unfortunately I miscarried and a couple of weeks later she had my nephew her 3rd child. It was really hard for me.

Two of my close friends just happened to get pregnant the exact same time as me, our due dates are July 23rd, July 24th, July 25th! It has been a great experience going through it with them and I love it sooo much! However I don’t know if I’d try to get pregnant just because I found out they were. I feel like you know when the time is right and if you don’t have a big drive to get pregnant now then maybe you should wait and enjoy your life child free a bit longer!

I suggest never making a "pregnancy pact", no matter what age or place in your life you are in. Especially Bc pregnancy is one of those things that can either go amazingly or not so amazingly (speaking from experience). Everyone is different. I was pregnant about 3 years ago and couldn't have the baby. Last year my best friend got pregnant and I was not in any way compelled to be pregnant right along with her. But then, I got pregnant right after. I found out a month after she gave birth to my goddaughter that I was pregnant too. And yes, it may have been "nice" to be pregnant together, but I definitely prefer being pregnant apart lol. I like going through it and knowing that although she already did, we don't have to share the same experience at the same time. Even if I were to not have gotten pregnant after her, I would still have my beautiful goddaughter to hold and squeeze and cuddle with!

I definitely think it could be fun, but only do it if you are ready. I don't mean financially/space as you've already said you're good there. I just mean if you're ready for that step in your life. 22 isn't too young to have a kid but may be too young to do it before you're certain. If you think you're ready but not rushing, you could always stop preventing and see what happens.
