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

[itwasshelter]

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

Same. I was pregnant at 3 months and married at 8 months. I was 19.
We were together 25 years and then he cheated with someone half his age.
So yeah it can work.. Doesn't work for me anymore but 25 years 4 kids later he just decided he needed to start over with a new family so got himself a newer model and had another baby. They too were pregnant within 6 months.

Our kids together no longer speak to him and I am delighted with that. I got the best end of the deal.

Yes, me too. Definitely repented at leisure.

We didn’t get enough information to fully understand your situation. The confusion isn’t hard to comprehend.

Congratulations on your fast decision making and your happy little family 💐

What are you asking here? Or just thinning out loud?

Have you been drinking? 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

At 39, getting pregnant after a few months together is very different to a 19 or even a 29-year-old getting pregnant quickly. You were both mature adults and you knew that you’d met the right person to start a family with. I think you’ll be fine. 💐

I agree, this was a planned pregnancy of an older potential mother, which is a major drip feed v I think what a lot of us assumed, a young woman with an unplanned pregnancy.

I didn’t say or suggest anything to make anybody think I was nineteen. But I don’t really see the point of labouring this. There was a misunderstanding; it’s been cleared up, serves no one to keep dwelling on it.

@itwasshelter I think you made a logical decision tbh, waiting a couple of years could have been risky- although as it turned out, you fell pregnant again easily. So everything’s worked out well!

It’s lovely to read a happy story on MN, we get enough negative ones!!

I was born pretty much 12 months to the day after my parents first date. Contraception failure! They split up when I was 24 but are still very amicable.

Sounds like you met during Covid and during the 2nd lockdown period. Things did seem to move a lot differently back then. You either met and accepted never seeing each other, or met and then were forced together all the time/ formed a bubble so relied on seeing each other a lot. So I can see how this happened. I'm seeing a lot about people who met during Covid now splitting up having moved in together just after meeting, so I think there's a bit of a phenomenon.

I met dh in the February, married him in the August ,pregnant by the following Aprill
Together 21 years now .

I met DH in the October, we got married in the March. I found out I was pregnant on honeymoon, and we’ve been married 32 years this year.

I think this a very stretched out way of you saying "I want to leave my husband and we only got married because i go pregnant."

One way or another the entire thing is totally misleading. She didn't have a baby after six months, she got pregnant within six months; they weren't married at this point, so he wasn't her DH; and finally she obviously doesn't think it was unreasonable as she's gaily talking about having been together for over six years.

But apart from that...

This is interesting! I met ex-DP in January 2021 in the depths of lockdown 3 in the UK and looking back, neither of us was in a good place and it was a weird time for everyone so we probably ‘settled’. I remember losing attraction to him as things returned to normal so that by January 2022 we had our first big fight about mismatched interest in sex. Unfortunately the relationship limped on for another 1.5 years until we called it a day. I’m not surprised many Covid couples are breaking up.
