I had my dd with my ex after 8 months of being with him, we did love eachother but What I thought about him wasn't correct and his true colours were shown after a while and through other reasons we split when she was a year old.
We co parented from then and it's been up n down but she's a very happy little girl and we are much happier without being in a relationship than we are togther !
He has a new partner and so do I.
How long was it before you got pregnant or had a child with your ex or current partner ? Xx

3 years when I got pregnant with DC1. We’re still together after nearly 20 years, so it wasn’t a bad punt! Grin

LivingDeadGirlUK · 27/03/2021 19:03

bananamonkey · 27/03/2021 19:03

Lorieandrews · 27/03/2021 19:10

10 months. Ha. We’ve been happily married for over 10 years!

Newq · 27/03/2021 19:13

A month

Nameregretter · 27/03/2021 19:15

Got pregnant when we’d been together 3 months. Had an abortion as we were 22, it was unplanned and we hardly knew each other. Got married 7 years later and had our first planned baby 1.5 years after that. Don’t regret the abortion at all - the first year with our DS was so hard there’s no way our relationship would have survived if we’d kept the first baby.

Kinvara11 · 27/03/2021 19:24

3 months! Definitely wouldn't recommend but 12 years later we're married with two dc.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 27/03/2021 19:29

Nearly a year and I felt that was very quick. He wasn't planned. We were young, but I already had a 4 year old. We've been through some really difficult times but together 9 years now and just had our second baby 8 weeks ago.

JudgeRindersMinder · 27/03/2021 19:30

About 3.5 years. I came off the pill and didn’t even have a period and was pregnant. Didn’t expect it to happen so quickly

Suzi888 · 27/03/2021 19:33

About 14 years, we weren’t trying and conceived by accident, (thought I was menopausal as DM had an early menopause).
All is well, was just a bit awkward having to let our respective parents that unprotected sex had resulted in pregnancy Grin

wingingit987 · 27/03/2021 19:44

5.5 years. Met when I was 21 him 29. Xx

SingingSands · 27/03/2021 19:52

Floralnomad · 27/03/2021 19:59

AbsolutelyCrapuless · 27/03/2021 20:02

13 years. Was 29 when DS was born.

speakout · 27/03/2021 20:05

Four weeks.
Still together 25 years later.

halfwaythrough2 · 27/03/2021 20:14

First baby I was silly and got pregnant (planned!) with my boyfriend 5 months into the relationship and we split up because like the same as you we didn't get along anymore.

Second. We've been together nearly 3 years and I'm 6 months pregnant. Boyfriends this time around actually really really wanted a baby and showed pure commitment beforehand. I wouldn't of ever rushed into it again it was brutal the first time

weegiemum · 27/03/2021 20:17

We got together when we were 19/20, married (and moved in) at 24, dd1 was born when we were both 29. So 10 years. Had 2 more dc in the next 4 years. Now they're all pretty much grown up (17,19,21) and we've been married 26 years.

MeadowHay · 27/03/2021 20:22

We'd been together over 5 years when we started TTC, and married for over 3 years.
