Question

We've been together over 4 years and are about a month or two away from getting a house together. We're not married yet but hopefully we will be within this time next year but we both really really really want a baby!!! What do y'all think? Is it to soon to start trying or should be wait even longer?

Answer

Before trying for a baby you need to sit down and have a discussion about your personal, financial, familial, educational and relationship goals.

Like, how many children do you want, how far apart? Are you buying this house? When are you getting life insurance policies, buying cars? What are your savings goals?

You should also talk about marriage, do you want to be married before or after babies? How big do you want the wedding? Or do you want to elope?

Create a timeline and a list of goals and when you'd like to accomplish them. Keep it realistic, and to fit your budget.

Some women have reproductive disorders that mean getting pregnant later in life is dangerous so they have to jump on that like a hog on truffles.

Other women, like me, have reproductive disorders (PCOS)that have to be worked on for long periods of time before I can conceive and stay pregnant. As well as meet most of not all of our financial and educational goals. He's gotten his degree and I'm still working on me.

After you've done that that should help you have a better idea if having a baby now vs later would be a good idea.
