mummy2girls wrote: Did you guys get married to your DH before having kids? or did you have kids and then get married or both??

I was unmarried both times when i got pregnant! Next time i will be married!

mckayleesmom replied: We were married before she was born...we actually found out she was on her way a couple days before we got married....so technically I was preggo before the big day. biggrin.gif

coasterqueen replied: We were married for about 5 years before Kylie was born. We were married before both were born.

amymom replied: We were married too many years ohmy.gif before we had kids. We tried forever and didn't get pg, but then (six years along) when we stopped worring about it and discussed other options My son came along. .....Then my daughter 6 years later. I guess six is our lucky number rolling_smile.gif

TeagansMom609 replied: I wasn't married when we had Teagan. Horse before the carriage, carriage before the horse, does it really matter? I think society made it a "rule" a long time ago that you just HAD to be married in order to have kids or you were, and still are frowned upon.
Of course Shawn and I are married now, but having Teagan had nothing to do with it or we would have gotten married while I was pregnant. Whats the difference if your really serious with someone and have a baby, or your married and have a baby? It doesnt mean that the married couples have better chances of staying together then those who aren't married. Life's uncertain in all cases, if you want kids have them, at the right time of course, and with the right person. Marriage or not. smile.gif

Mommy2BAK replied: I was pregnant when John and I got married, but we had been together for five years, so it wasn't like a one night stand sort of thing at all. But what does it really matter ya know?
Edited to add, yes we were married when we had her.

~KARA~ replied: I married my x 8 mo before I got prego. But with my current dh we were enguaged, I got prego so we moved up the date. So I was married before both times.

Jamielou replied: I was married before i got pregnant with carley. but we divorced and i wasnt married with delaney we are only engaged still... tongue.gif

My2Beauties replied: I wasn't married before I had Hanna. We had talked about marriage but that was put on the back burner when we realized we were going to have a child, just because of the expense involved with the wedding, we had to buy things for Hanna! We're married now and that is all that matters!

mom2tripp replied: We were married for 6 months before I got pregnant with Tripp---but I don't think it really matters if you are both committed to one another and know you will be together for the child biggrin.gif
