What age did you stop having babies?

[littleraysofsunshine]

I'm almost 25 and have 3.5,almost2, & 6 week old. But I don't see us just having three...

[DramaAlpaca]

Well, I had my first at 29, then another at 30 & my last at 33.

That was plenty for me

[Seeline]

I had my first at 33 and second at 36 - you have loads of time yet

[Jbck]

Hadn't even started by your age, you could have dozens yet

[permaquandry]

32

I think in terms of age/energy there's plenty of time for you. It all depends on how you feel. I had a cut off of 35. But I started at 28, my thinking was I didn't want to spend 10 years having babies.

[peppercold]

First at 26 second at 35 and currently 9 weeks pg at 41!

[ThePortlyPinUp]

26, I'd had 4 by then plus two m/c's, I'm glad it worked out like that though as I'm now 32 and back at college and have a university place to start my nursing degree in September :)

33, DF was almost ten years older.

Just the way life turns out, you can't always plan things.

Not managed 1 yet, thanks to recurrent MC. :( I'm 35.

Just thankful we live in a time when it didn't just get put down to 'age'/ignored and they found I had a blood condition. Wouldn't have mattered if I'd started when I was 18 (quote from consultant) without the medication it wouldn't work.

On the bright side, now I'm diagnosed/medicated and will keep going till I have a successful pg. :)

36, the idea was to have them all at school by the time I was forty so that I could start thinking about a new career. I am now 46 and still a SAHM, still haven't got my head round the many complications of a proper job, I do "stuff" that doesn't add up to a "career", but that is probably for another thread!

[Kaekae]

I had my first when I was almost 29 and second at 31. I thought I was finished but at 35 I am now hoping to start TTC by the end of the year. I would say my cut off would be 40. I think I want at least two more by then.

[gamerchick]

32 sorry

Goodluck Squizita

I'm 35 and just split from dp. We have 1 dd (8) - I always wanted more. It was never intention to wait.

So I am watching with interest. Sometimes I think it will never happen. That I won't get chance until it's too late.

Or that I'll meet Mr Right just as menopause kicks in and then I will kill exdp

[catbus]

Had mine at 24, 28, 33 and 36. Thought I was done but pg again and am 40 this year

[CoffeeandNumbers]

First and last at 27 unless there's an accident

Shes nine months and I still get upset when I think about her birth (forceps), so no more for me.

[sweetkitty]

I had mine at 29, 30, 32 and 34, I had a cut off of 35 as well (really don't know why).

I'm planning to return to college age 40 when the last one starts school.

[willitbe]

Did not meet dh til age 33. Has first at 35, second at 36, third age 40. Then multiple miscarriages, still easy for me to get pregnant (even using contraception) but all bad old eggs and so had my last successful pregnancy age 40.

Hope you get your next baby soon!

[wigglesrock]

I had mine at 31, 33 and 36. I'm 39 now & I'm done.

Good luck squizita

44

3 DDs aged 7, 4 and 6 months. would love another one but don't think that's going to happen. Not as far as DH is concerned anyway...

I never thought I'd be lucky enough to have kids and now I have three, I feel very grateful.

[Bambamb]

Had mine at 31 and 35. Am now 36, don't think I'll have another.

[TheSporkforeatingkyriarchy]

I had my fourth at 26, which is the last child we'll be having biologically - pregnancy/birth became quite unsafe for me after that, so DP had the snip... and then I started menopause at 28.

Quite happy to be out of the baby phase, even in our discussion about fostering and adoption it's all about older children once ours are much older.

[Calminacrisis]

Had mine at 23, 28 and 29 with a a couple of mcs along the way. And after gruesome divorce and new partner, now 14wks pg at 39. Didn't really expect it but v happy with how things have worked out.
