Honeymoon Babies???

OK, so I am so tired of FI's sister and SIL telling me when to conceive. They keep telling me to wait 5 yrs, but I'll be 32 by the time I get married. They both waited 5 yrs, but they got married in their early 20s. They are really getting on my nerves with the comments. They are a lot older than us, so of course they think they have all the answers.Anyway, FI and I want a honeymoon baby. What about you guys?

    FI would love a baby now! We are 39 and 44, our babies will look grimlins! LOL just joking. We'll wait about 3 mo, we'll be 40 and 45 then.

    I am already 32 so not really worried about my age.  LOL I am more worried about the financial aspect of having a baby as well as having a house to put said baby in instead of my apartment. We won't wait too long, we are in the if it happens it happens stage.

    sdStephens2010 - Girl tell them to mind their business - I want to have a baby b4 I hit 33yrs old. I am not sure why I picked that #. We like our freedom right now. We can just get up and go. We do not have to worry about babysitters, leaving events early & parent teacher conf.. LMOL - - I dont not think for us we will ever be financially ready - but hopefully we will get there or least feel better about our finances...lol :)Have your baby when your both ready to take on the responsibility.. GL!!!

    If it were left up to FI, I would be pregnant now. He is 35 and I am 37. FI has no children while I have 3 teenagers. I do want to give him a baby, but I am not deliberately trying to conceive on our honeymoon. That just takes all the fun out of it lol. We have both agreed we will start trying 6 mos to one year after we have been married. But don't get it twisted we will still be practicin' a whole lot lol.

    Girl, you have to do whats best for you. Not what his sisters think is best....they dont have to raise the baby now do they? We got married in August and will start trying to conceive in May/June after we buy our first house. GL :)

    girl tell your FSILs to mind their bidness, y'all have a baby when y'all are ready (was that country or what...LOL!)...no but seriously don't pressure yourself or FI about conceiving.  If you and FI discussed the best time you two think is best to start a family then that's that...your FSILs don't get an opinion in this matter as they will not be caring for the baby when he/she gets here - regardless of that noise they talking now.

    We already have one son he's 9 - long story short we just got married a few weeks ago and at the reception his mom and sister kept asking when were going to have more kids... We had only been married two hours! lol We might have one more baby in a couple of years - For us its important to be married for a while before we have any more kids Some people have kids right away, some wait years and years. I say enjoy being married for a few years then have a baby -

    I'm 35 and what I want is to experience being married to my hubby, and learning how to be a wife before I start adding kids to the mix. I am getting married to be a wife, not a baby machine so I would like to enjoy being a wife. Do whatever you want to do. It depends on your personality and what will make you happy. Me, I've been so independent and by myself for so long, that marriage will be an adjustment and learning to compromise. Putting a kid on top of that right away will be too much for me. But if you are a person who is ok with compromise and putting yourself last for a kid right away, then go for it. I have heard that Motherhood can be the ultimate sacrifice so just know what you are stepping into and that YOU are ready to do it. Now, my FI, he wants babies immediately after we get married but we are waiting b/c I want to enjoy being a wife and spending time with just me and my Hubby first.

    I got married on 9-19 and we wanted a honeymoon baby! I found out this morning that it didn't happen. Boy did we have fun trying in the Bahamas. Kinda sad but just got to keep trying because it wasn't our turn. Bad thing is I have to leave out to go to cvs this morning because I figured I wouldn't need any monthly stuff anymore. See ya! Got to go!

    Whatever you do, don't get pregnant now! Take it from me. I seem to have done this backwards. I got the house, met my fiance', got pregnant and then having a wedding. Take time to be a couple first before children start coming in the picture.And tell you in-laws that you will have a baby as soon as you get a signed document saying they will be on call for babysitting. LOL

    If it was up to FI we would've started trying like yesterday.  Me on the other hand I wanna wait at least a year or at least when we buy a house.  We just don't have the space in our little cramped apartment.  On the other hand I want to get pregnant just to spite FMIL.  Don't get me wrong she's a sweetheart but it annoys me when she say's wait, wait, wait for years.  I'm not getting any younger but I'm not gonna wait yearsssss either.

    Well, our baby will make an appearance 3 months after the wedding. We decided not to wait because of the problem I was having dealing with PCOS. We were already planning a wedding and I had gotten pregnant in December but that ended in a miscarriage. This time around, we had gotten pregnant first and pretty much decided to just go ahead and have a small intimate wedding before him/her arrives. We've both been married before and are 32 & 33. We know neither one of us aren't going anywhere so what better time like the present.

    We would love to have a honeymoon baby. We already own a home and I will be 31 in two weeks. Neither of us have children and I have endometriosis so we have to get moving!
