Am I not suppose to have a year?!

DH's mom said she had a dream she was making us a baby blanket and a friend of hers called and asked if we were pregnant since she had a dream I was PG.  This past Thursday my best girlfriend and I were shopping and Jami picked out a sweater for me.  In the dressing room I checked the tag for the size and found out it was maternity. 

I've heard in the last week 4 people tell me, "I had a dream you were pregnant."  No, I'm NOT pregnant nor plan to be in the next year!  Yes, I've gained 10 lbs since we got married but not b/c I'm PG, just because I enjoy food.  We've only been married for 4 months.  Shouldn't I have at least another 8 months before people starting bugging me about being PG!

Re: Am I not suppose to have a year?!

  • From what I have learned, no. The questioning of your in utero happenings starts immediately after the wedding. I don't get it either.
    Anniversary
  • We arnt even married and FI's family asks us all the time when we plan on having kids.  I always tell them as soon as I I'm done raising FI.
  • haha!  I'm lucky that we don't get that much. We're seen as career oriented at this point, which is true, and other people are having babies so they can concentrate on them for now!
  • You should feel lucky people are asking you now. FIL has been asking us when we were going to have kids since we got engaged... and he's serious. He doesn't understand why we didn't start as soon as we got engaged, and why we aren't already PG. It's very old, and very annoying.
  • LOL...no you don't get a year. We weren't even married yet when people started bugging us.

  • We got it 3 months after we started dating.  People have no shame anymore lol!

    This is how I feel! I already have a child, 3 if you count our dogs too. Seriously though, we started getting pressure even before we were married.

  • Nope! Ditto everyone who had pressure before they were married or even engaged for that matter.
  • we didn't even get 2 married hours before people started this Stick out tongue

    ?
  • I get this soooo often and I'm ready to scream about it! haha As we were cutting our wedding cake, we had someone asking! Geesh!
    Married 6/10/09 in Bermuda.
  • On our wedding day... SIL gave me a card.  Inside the card was a pair of Texas Tech baby socks and a little note... "Congrats on the wedding.  I want to be an Aunt.  No pressure."  

    LOL... 

  • I wish!  I got clobbered for years BEFORE we got married let alone after.  I finally had to get very forceful to be left alone and if that didn't work (which it did) I was going to start telling people I was sterile.  Its insane...if they like babies so much they can go out and have their own.
  • This really wasn't an issue for us since we made our plan known upfront.  Due to our ages, we knew that we were trying right away.  No one said anything to us because 1.) we were pretty clear about our intentions prior to getting married and 2.) it would have been very inappropriate for people to start asking us since if we weren't making an announcement, it meant we were having issues and asking us about it would have been hurtful.

    I think if your plan is to wait a year, be upfront with people and tell them that you want at least a year to just enjoy being married.  Personally, DH & I would have LOVED to have had a year to ourselves prior to TTC, but we simply didn't have the time.
