Kids - Right after the wedding?

How long after the wedding do you think is a good time to have kids? My fiance and I both come from big families, and we both want 4-6 kids, I’ll be 27 when we get married. I know it gets harder to have kids when you reach your 30’s, but I also don’t want to be known as the wierdo who gave birth 9 months after her wedding. And how does having kids early in the marriage effect the marrige, and how does having kids a few years after the wedding affect the marriage?

It’s a personal choice, I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer. If you and your husband are on the same page, both know that you’d like to have kids right away, then go for it. Who cares what people say?

I got married at 23, we had our first son when I was 28 and our twins at 30. For me, personally, I’m glad we didn’t have children right away because it gave us a chance to really grow as a couple and learn about each other. The first year or two of marriage is always such a learning experience, and it can be tough when you have kids right away, but again, that’s my opinion.

Do what feels right. The most important thing is that you’re both on the same page with whatever you decide.
