Advice and Were your parents happy or did they say ';We wished you would of waited or Kids are so expensive these days, can you do it';To those who got pregnant shortly after being married, How did your Parents React?
My husband and I are exactly the same age I am 22 and my hubby is 23.....we were married last February and we were pregnant about 3 months after that....my parents were the same way...they wanted us to travel have fun together blah blah and we wanted to get pregnant we tried for three months and bam we were pregnant!!!! But I told my mom when I was about 7 weeks I was soo scared haha and I just told her and she kinda was like O Okay and then she kept telling me you guys should have waited but then she would say you guys are married and its your life and its going to be hard...she kinda shut me down about having a baby and then she started coming around when I got my belly....so yes they were disappointed but hey you know what its ours lives now and its not what are parents want anymore its what we want and what we can provide, which is our love. So good luck to you just tell her when it happens I think no matter what are parents want the best from us but in the end sometimes I think we know whats the best for us not our parents, they still look at us as there babies :) But don't worry you will be fine when it happens!


Good luck and I give you all my baby dust in the world!!!!To those who got pregnant shortly after being married, How did your Parents React?
Im currently engaged, getting married in may 2009, and last month i gave birth to a beautiful little girl. Im only 19 also.





My parents were upset at first because they wanted me to go away to college and enjoy my life, but once my mom saw that ultrasound picture, everything changed. She realized that she was not getting any younger and she would love grand children while she is stikind ofdof young (45). Now, my mother is great with my little girl. Sabsolutelytly adores her and i have never seen her happier.





about two weeks before my due date, my fiance was laid off. Luckily he found a new, better job, and my parents have not said one word about money, or how the economy is and raising children are expensive. They are very happy with the life that we createSurprisinglygly, they are proud of the women that i have become and the mother that i am.





They will accept it. Do what you feel is right. You can always travel later on in life.
My parents were surprised but happy same with his. My father in law gave us the best advice, when we were waiting to get pregnant a second time. (we were afraid we couldn't afford another baby) He said, ';if you wait to have another baby, just because your afraid you can't afford it, then you will never have another baby, no one can afford children.'; He was right, just wished we didn't wait to tell him we were pregnant with the second one, he died before we had the chance.





Have you baby, and Good Luck
I fell pregnant just 3weeks after getting married - it was a great shock to both my husband and i , and our families!!!





They were all in shock and did say ';it would have been better if you got to do all the things you wanted First';


But they got used to the idea (it didn't take them long) I think they were just concerned for us.


In the end its your decision, good luck
Well when my husband and i fell pregnant we weren't married, we had already been together 4 years, traveled abit, saved money, had fun, it was like we were already married.





Although our daughter wasn't planned and we still had things we wanted to do before becoming parents, our parents were very supportive.





Your 22 and 23, your adults it has nothing to do with your parents!





If you feel awkward about it, then are you TRULY ready for all this??








good luck

I was seeing a man 10 years older than me and didn't tell my parents anything about him, we decided to get married. about a week later i found out we were expecting. my parents were not happy at first wanted us to rush and get married. we have decided to wait until after the baby is born, but they have come around and are super excited and love my hubby to be!
my sis is preganant usualy they are extremely happy and do it in a fun way when you tell then like a christmas poem or on a cake or get a pillow saying grandma or grandpa or both they will love u even if u get stuck in jail its up to u to have kids they are pricy but worth every penny.
They may not be extatic but once they see how happy you two are about it they will be excited about their grandbaby. At least you got married first.
My hubby and I got married when I was 23 and he was 29. we dated a 1.5yr before getting married. I believe I got pregnant the night of our wedding. It almost seemed I may have been pregnant before I got married (but the pregnancy calculators showed other wise) My parents were supper excited to have grandchildren. But my parents have always been real trusting on the choices we make and always helping us out. His parents were elder and thought they would never live to see grandkids, therefore also very excited.


On the other hand, It was my husband and I that wished we had waited. We wanted to have more ';us'; time. At least a 2year honeymoon period. It was a real strain on the marriage. we got married, bought a house, had the first, 2 years later had the 2nd, moved to a new house, school, work and yada, yada, yaddaa...


Now is when I finally feel we are enjoying us (and our little family). The kids are 5 and 4 now.


I definitely would recommend you and your hubby thoroughly discuss everything, The number of kids you want, the cost of raising kids, public vrs private school, clothing, diapers, formula...as a family. Along with fiances, there comes the responsibility of child rearing. Forms of discipline, who is handling HW, cooking and much more...which you can never be prepared for. It is a case by case learning experience.


I Just rambled away there, Bu Good Luck with everything.
