To have had a baby after being with DH for less than six months?

Absolute insanity really. I think it’s worked out, hard to say. I do wonder how much we really have in common?

I still don't get it unless the baby is very premature?

I met DH in October / November and got pregnant in march. I’m not sure what there is to ‘get.’

So what is the timeline?

met, six months later pregnant, had the baby, then got married?

How long have you been together now?

Are you still in touch with the baby's father?

She's married to him!

So we’d been together for maybe six months, probably less than that thinking about it, when I got pregnant. Things moved fast.

Well....you got married in less than six months so clearly you're um, spontaneous!

We got married later 😁

is he the dad ? How could you have had a baby with him if you’ve only been together six months !?

GRCP · 14/01/2026 21:22

Those numbers don’t make sense? You must have been pregnant first? When did you get married?

ScrambledEggs12 · 14/01/2026 21:22

Guessing pregnant on first night of meeting, married at 3 months and then baby born 3 months early at 6 months?

Bluebluesummer · 14/01/2026 21:21

My friend has been with her husband for 25 years they got pregnant 4 months in. No one is going to be advertising it but it definitely works sometimes. DH and I were pregnant after 14 months together, we’ve been together 22 years.

Maybe you should try and explain your dates…
