How long were you together with your DP before having a child together?

[Chocolatecheeks111]

Any regrets? If you could go back in tkme would you have changed anything?

I will start, 4 years....! No regrets =)

Had been together 10 years, married 6 when dd1 came along. Ds and dd2 followed within 3 years - I do sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have them more spaced out, but no regrets.

12 years before dc1 - met at uni and did the first job, house, holidays thing for several years. Despite being nearly 30 when we started trying for dc1 I got pregnant 1st month of trying for both dc1 and dc2 2.5years later, made all those years of birth control worth while and still vigilant now 24 years in!

Together for 9 years before dd came along, we then got married, and have dc2 on the way. I think we are at the 13yr mark now.
No regrets at all 😊

13 years with first ...et at uni married 10 years after meeting. Second 16.5 years
Nope, no regrets but met at 23 so very young still

6 years together, 14 months married.

My only regret is taking 2 years to plan our wedding - I wish I'd just got on with it and we'd got married a bit sooner!

3.5 years, we’ve now been together 18 years.

6 years probably would have liked a bit earlier as took over a year to conceive

3 years. DS1 was a big surprise, but we have no regrets.

18 months. The pregnancy was unplanned but it all worked out and dd is nearly 11 and we have a planned ds also.

Nearly 3 years. No regrets at all.

A few weeks. DS was unplanned but also a miracle baby (I can't have more). No regrets, DH and I have been together for 20 years this year.

2 years 8 months before pregnancy. No regrets whatsoever :)

6 years.
Met, engaged, bought house and then married before even thinking about children.

6 years. We were not living together for that long though, only just over a year before I got pregnant.

First child born exactly one year after we first met. All children are now teenagers. We are still together. No regrets.

16 years. Often imagine what life would be like if we had had a child or two in our first few years. Life would have been so different!

9 years, together almost 24, had four DC then got married on our 20 year anniversary

17 years!

Together for 5 years, married for 3. No regrets

9.5 months before DD was born DD was not planned, but no regrets, she's 10.

8 married two fine with that

DS1 was born exactly 1 year to the date of our first kiss!

I do wish we’d had chance to maybe travel together first, but we’re still together and very happy 17 years on.

We are expecting our first and have been together 6.5 years

DS was born 13 months after ExDP and I met...

We did separate, but we're possibly the happiest separated coparents I've ever heard of.

Much older ExDP found out a few months after I fell pregnant that he has an incurable and life limiting illness - and once he started treatment, children would have been off the cards for him.
I had a cervical cancer near miss just after I gave birth, that wouldn't have been picked up (and I'd still have been smoking most likely) if I hadn't had DS.

Having DS when we did turned out to be perfect timing - and wouldn't change it now - but it wasnt ideal, in all honesty, for our romantic relationship.
