What age did you have your kids and would you say it was before, bang on or over average age wise?

I was 29, 30 and 33. I think it was about average for the time, the mid-90s, and the perfect timing for me.

35 and 37.
On the older side but it was the right time for me.

First and last: at 40 and wasn’t considered a geriatric mother (I think 41 was the cut off point). My mum had me when she was 36. She was considered well over the hill/geriatric. That was in 1972.

28 and 32, a little earlier than average. Still considering one more - would be 38 then.

I was 34 (twins). It was in the '90s and at the time I was considered a 'geriatric mother'. I think it was about the right time, as DH wouldn't have been ready earlier (he was 32).

17 and 29

34, a bit later than average in the early 90s, I chose to just have one

Loveduppenguin · 12/12/2025 14:06
