Until the 60’s, parenting was all about making sure that your kids did not start reproducing until at least nine months after being married. Anything else was seen as a failure. My dad boycotted my older brother’s wedding in 1964 because she was three months along.

According to statisticians who examined early colonial records, more than 60% of first-born Pilgrim children were born less than 6 months after their parents married.
