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

Roughly 18 months after we met I fell pregnant. We were just at it like rabbits from memory. We used contraception for at least a year then we talked about wanting a family and just half hazardly used contraception. With the amount of sex we were having it didn't take long until I knew something was up...we have four DC now. Been married 14 years. Still at it like rabbits 😂

@katy1213 how rude was your comment?
If that's your opinion then read my post, I'd like to know what you make of my situation

We've been together 10 years, never married. We had DS1 2 years ago, quickly followed by DS2 who is 9months now

10 weeks. We have a 13 month old now and still happy together.

I first met my husband end of April 2014, I'd just turned 21 when we met, he was 29. I was a student and he worked full time but we still made it work, and couldn't be happier. We became a couple 9th may 2014. We decided to start trying for a baby in July 2014, we moved in together in October 2014, I got pregnant in November 2014, we found out I was pregnant 19th December 2014. We got engaged 13th January 2015, and got married 9th April 2015. Baby was due 30th August 2015, was actually born on 5th September 2015. So we had been together exactly 11 months the day we got married. I know it's very quick, being married and expecting a baby within less than a year of being together, but it worked for us. We had discussed marriage and both agreed it was what we wanted, but we weren't officially engaged. But when we found out I was pregnant we both knew it was important to us to be married before the baby was born, and I didn’t want to be showing if possible, so we made sure we were. It was perfect. Some people might think we only got married because I was pregnant, but that was never the case at all.
Nothing wrong with moving fast. I got married same year DC1 was born. If you know, you know.

Just under 6 years after we met, about 4.5 years after we married.
