Is it just me?

Why is that everyone I know is either pregnant, have kids, or trying?!?! I just got married this past October & really just want to enjoy being married. Is that bad that I am not itching to be a mom right away? It's all very weird for me to be feeling this way, because right when we got engaged, I thought I would want to have kids right after we were married. But somewhere along the wedding planning, something changed.

Don't get me wrong, I abosolutely LOVE kids & I am so stoked to have some of my own, but it is something I feel can wait right now. I just became an aunt this year & I am so content with the only babies in my life being my neice, nephew & my friend's babies...Big Smile

There definitely must be something in the water.

Re: Is it just me?

  • I agree!  As soon as we got married it was almost an expectation for us to start right away.  All of my friends got married well before us-we were 32 and 33 when we got married so most have kids and a family already. I guess that helps because they want me to join the club. My parents are also older so they want grandkids right away!  :)

  • This is our first and we've been married since May '08 so we waited and had our "alone" time. I didn't want to wait this long but things came up and it was needed and worked out PERFECTLY!

    Don't feel rushed. I agree though, feels like everyone is pregnant right now.

  • alex and i will be married 4 years later this month and do not have kids nor do we want any anytime soon. i was the same as you and thought that we would start a family pretty quickly after getting married.
    Anniversary
  • We're not quite married yet, but honestly have already been trying.  We're also both over 30 already though, and both wanted to have kids a few years ago.   I just think it's different for everyone...  don't feel bad if it's what you want, no matter what else anyone is doing, or how anyone else feels about it. 
  • there's absolutely nothing wrong with it! enjoy your time of selfishness while you have it!Yes

  • It's not just you. When we got married we just wanted our time together and forget about kids. I told everyone we were on the 5 year plan so don't ask. We've been married since 2003. Just now we are pregnant with our first. So i definatly feel like we took our sweet time.

    have fun and enjoy the married life
