25.How long did you wait after getting married to have children?
3 years - I was 28
He was 19 and I was 18 when we got married. At first we were going to wait 2 years before we had kids, but then we changed our minds 2 months after we got married. Now I'm 14 weeks and 2 days with our first!
i think 24 is perfect.
we were married 1 year b4 i became pregnant.. but we were 25. and done school :)
good luck!

I was 25 when I got married so we pretty much went straight at it. I got pregnant one year after we got married approximately, but you guys are so young, and need to spend more time having fun and doing things together. The one thing we didn't do was travel and party with our friends, now we have to wait till retirement. Enjoy your youth. Don't rush into it. Make sure the marriage will work first (I'm sure it will) and wait till you are both totally ready, it is such a huge committment and leaves no time for yourselves. Good luck.
Right after we got married my husband left for Iraq.. where he was for a total of ten months! we got pregnant when he was visiting right after Christmas (beginning of January).. It was completely unexpected, but a wonderful surprise! I am now 17 weeks pregnant with a little boy, but on bedrest due to a low lying placenta.. hopefully I can get up soon! I hate this!
My husband and I waited 6 years before we had kids. We were 20 and 22 when we got married.
My husband and I have been married for almost 4 yrs. I was 25 and he was 28 when we got married. We decided to have a baby after we purchased our first home, which was 3 yrs before we had our daughter. I think it depends on the people..Personally we have very strong FAITH in god and felt like we don't have time to wait. We planned each pregnancy and have decided we want a big family. We can make plans but you don't know what tomorrow holds. Anything can happen so we felt there is not need to wait. Best wishes to you and God bless you!
I was 23 when I married my husband who was 25 at the time. We were two months pregnant when we married. We just had our second eight years later and I have much more patience now than I did then. See how you feel and where you are in life when you get there!
we were married at 18 and we will be 22 when our first is born. so 4 years. we've known each other since kindergarten. he just ETSed out of the army. now he has a steady job. this time in life just feels like the right time to have a baby
i was 19 and my husband was 22 when we got married, we decided to have a baby right away, our daughter was born 10 days after our first anniversary. Now we are pregnant again (6 weeks). We were both in the army at the time we got married and had no idea what we wanted to do as far as our careers go yet. We are both out of the military and are about to start school, it's different in our case though, because we both have school completely paid for and we get extra money from our GI bills for housing. Being financially ready for a baby is not the most importnat thing though, no matter how hard you try no one will be completley ready for a baby, no matter how prepared you think you are. I think it's better to have kids young, because then you don't get use to have so much freedom, it's a much harder adjustment when you're not use to taking care of anyone but yourself. But if you want to focus on school first, I don't see anything wrong with that, you will still be young in 6 years. And at least you're not doing it so you can party like crazy first, because if you do that you will get use to that lifestyle and that's not a good situation to raise a child.
I'm almost 28 weeks pregnant now. :-) I'm 24, my husband is 23. We've been together almost 5 years, and were married 10 months before I got pregnant (surprise- wasn't supposed to be able to get pregnant). Honestly... I wish we'd waited a couple years more. My ideal age was 26 before starting a family, but you can't control everything, I guess.
When I met my husband, I was 21 and he was 26. I was never really a wild person and was ready to settle down at any point and he was just then getting at the point where he was thinking about settling down. We got engaged 6 months after dating and were married when we were 23 / 28. We have been married almost 2 years and I am almost 25. He is now 30. We're trying to have kids now because it just feels right and he doesn't want to wait until he's older. Plus, he has some medical issues and doesn't want to have limited time with his children.
It kinds of depends on you, who you're with, and what you both want out of life...You can make plans all you like, but in the end, we really have no control over what happens. :)
Well it is different for every one every one is at different points in their life at different ages and have different view on things. To me it sounds like you guys have a great plan. Well me and my husband got married when I was 19 he was 21 we had been together for about 4 years prior and shortly after getting engaged we found out i was pregnant and I had him when i was 20. I am planning on concieving soon. We are young but we were definitley ready for it and wanted it and we were at a point in our lifes that many people our age arent my husband owns his own company that he started and we have a house I already went to beauty school and decided I much rather be a mommy =)... I always wanted to be a mommy but I was ready sooner than I expected. Marriage is good to have before you have a baby but sometimes you cant always wait for a certain perfect moment because you might be waiting forever. you sound like you have a good plan though. Good luck =)
Well... I wasn't married. I was 17 when I got pregnant. I'm 19 and now have a toddler! But if I could have it the way I wanted it originally I would have my same lil dude but wait until I was 20-23. I'd want at least 1 year, but 2-3 years would be better. According to my dad, however, you need at least 5 years to get to really know someone. :) I want 5 kids now. I just love my little guy to death! I'm glad I had him!
