Hi ladies,

This is just a nosey thread really, just wondering how soon after you got with your partner did you fall preg with your son/daughter and if you are still together? I fell preg with my daughter about 6 months after i got with her dad. We're not together now but i wouldn't change my girl for the world :) xxxx

10 years and yes we are still together.

We were 23 & 21 so very very young when we got together. Too young for kids.

We had an awsome life, fab holidays, did up wrecked houses.
Then we were both ready, got wed and 3 years later had ds.

Itsjustafleshwound · 09/02/2011 18:03

Known DH for 15 years, married for 12 in April. Two children - oldest is just 6.

He is still referred to as DH - for now .. Grin

DelicateFluffyBunny · 09/02/2011 18:06

I became pg 8 weeks into the relationship (I often lie about this and add on several months Blush) and we've been together 7 years now and married for 4 years (I just had to ask my DH how long we'd been married and we realised we forgot our anniversary AGAIN, for the 4th time!).

SatinShoes · 09/02/2011 18:07

9 years. (4 years after wedding)

jamaisjedors · 09/02/2011 18:08

Together 9 years before 1st DS.

Still together and happy now (although DS2 nearly broke us Sad)

sunndydays · 09/02/2011 18:08

Moved in after 6 months, fell pregnant with dd 2 years and 10 months after we got together. Have been together 4 years now and are very, very happy

Lozza83 · 09/02/2011 18:09

wow its so nice to hear so many people still together with their partners, sadly it seems the norm round here for parents to be seperated. I'd love to have more children preferably before i am 30. (i'm 27 now) and i have recently started seeing someone so maybe my wish will come true if all goes well. don't worry though i'm not in a rush just yet i need to make sure he is the right one ;) thanks for your replies
