How old were you when you had your first?

[FairyLightFiend]

I’m 34 and TTC. Having always thought I only wanted one, I’m now thinking that we might want a larger family (two or three) and am wondering if we’ve left it too late.

So can I ask; how old were you when you had your first child and how many do you have now?

Started ttc when I was 31, DS born when I was 34. I had a couple of losses and he ended up being an ICSI baby.
I only have one but I’m happy with that. We kept our frozen embryos for 6 years but then donated them to research because we’re at peace with having one.

I was 28 - and down in my notes as an 'elderly' primigravida!

To be fair, I was the oldest by quite a bit on the maternity ward - this was late 70s.
My dd was 38 and 39 when she had hers, and many of her friends have been similar ages - one recently had her 2nd at 41.

You have certainly not left it too late, OP.

36. Starting trying to conceive at 35 and it took 8 months. Will start ttc number 2 in January. I'm 38 now

20 for my first. My mum had her first at 24 and last at 45, she had 6 children.

Then my 2nd at 25.

I had mine at 31, 33 and 35.

I was 24 when i had my first 2
27 when i had my 3rd

33

I was 18 when my ds was born. In my mid-late twenties now, and just the thought of starting all over again from pregnancy, fills me with dread. All that feels well behind me now, been there, done that, haven't had to get up during the night for years etc. I might feel broody one day, but generally I'm not a baby person.

Almost 29

Had my fourth and last just before I was 35.

37 and 39 and done, feeling a bit sad packing away the newborn and 0-3 babygros that are off to new homes!

I just wanted to add, my great gran was 46 (iir) when my great aunt was born. My gran, the eldest was 19, and her sisters teenagers. Apparently there was a rumour that the baby must have really been my grans or one of her sisters .

I was 19. My daughter having experienced a youthful but pretty senseless young mum, sensibly waited till she was 32. You'll be fine OP, good luck.

I was 22 when I had my first, 24 with second

I was 16.

My mum had her first at 38 and her last at 44

Oh, and my mother was 40 for me and 44 when my sister was born.

First at 25 last at 26!

I was 33 when my son was born, had a miscarriage in between and second was born when I was 35. She is almost 8 months and we would like another two but not with a small gap and I worry we don't have much time. I am 36 now and would be TTC starting February 2020 if all goes to plan so will be 38 when/if third is born. Hmm don't think a fourth would be possible then. We should have started at 30 but I wasn't ready.

I am 37 and about to give birth to my 4th.

I was 20. I had 4 kids by 29.

Pregnant now at 27 will be delivered just as I turn 28 with my first

I had twins at 31, and would like 2 more. Dh is less keen!

I just have one, I was just about to turn 34 when he was born. I'm 37 now and don't think I'll have more

29, DS is 6 m, if we have another (big if!) I think we'll have a 4-5 year gap
