Are the following sentences correct?
I wish I had been pregant right after I got married because I am kind of old now.
If I had been pregnant, I would have had an one-year-old baby now.
If I had had an-one-year old baby, my parents and my in-laws would have been excited and satisfied.
If my in-laws had been satisfied, they wouldn't have asked me to see the doctor.

Try these:
I wish I had gotten pregnant right after I married because I am getting older.
If I had become pregnant when I was first married, I would have a one year old baby now.
If I had a one year old baby now my parents and in-laws would be very excited and satisfied.
If I had the baby my in-laws would not have asked me to see the doctor. |

| One additional note: a one-year-old baby. "O" is a vowel, but since the word "one" has a consonant sound ("w" similar to "won"), the correct indefinite article is "a," not "an." |
