Before my husband and I were married we had “The Kids” talk. We talked about whether or not we wanted children, how many we wanted and how long we would wait before we had them.
Do we plan to have kids? Yes, absolutely. Before marriage, our answers were different. We were indifferent. If we had a child we felt we would be happy and if we did not have a child then we would still be happy.
How many children do we want? Our plan is to just have one child.
How long will we wait? Well we plan to wait about until our 3rd year of marriage. So we have some time. Now, however, everytime we hear a story of a complicated pregnancy we want to push it back another year. LOL
This is a very important conversation to have with your significant other. If you are planning on getting married, then you should have this talk before marriage to ensure that you are on the same page. You don’t want any surprises later.
Have any of you had the baby talk? How did it go?
