New member alert!!!
My husband and I have just decided to ttc! We are both youngest in our family although both on mid 20s! We want our children to be close to their cousins who range from 2-5! Just hoping our brothers and sisters won't be judgemental as they were all in 30s when they started having children! We have been on nice holidays but feel that a baby is the next step and we are very excited! Just looking for some moral support!!!

Hello thought I would join. Also in my 20's (27!) and in my first month of TTC after stopping my pill in July.
I know what you mean about being inpatient Rosiegal - I am exactly the same! Good luck to you all!

I think its a personal choice and if you feel the time is right for you then go for it, I mean if you were 10 years younger that would probably be a good time to wait! I'm 30 and ttc #1 after stopping the pill in september, all very exciting. I haven't really felt ready for kids before now whilst my dp is 26 and has been broody for years. We're both lucky enough to have secure jobs, our own home so now it just feels right. Unfortunately I'm one of those impatient people and I just want it to happen right now. Best of luck to you and I'm sure your families will be over the moon when it happens x

I dont think we are too young! We know when is right I suppose.
Im 25 and husband is 35 so I think he is pretty keen but he waited on me being ready which was nice.
I hope it happens quickly too but trying not to stress on dates yet (as hard as it is!)

Some of my friends- who are early 30s have babies but all tell me I'm too young!
I'm 25 and hubby is 27. We have talked about it a lot and decided it just feels right! Grin
Very excited and hoping it happens quickly!! Age will be on our side!!(hopefully)

Im assuming im the same age as you as I was born in 88. We are at the exact same position little bear, im excited to see what happens!

None of my friends have kids yet but my husband and I always wanted a family so it was always the way to go for us! X
