If you had your first baby at 35/36 did you/ when did you have another?

Just out of interest
Haven't decided if I want another yet

Thank you **seasiderabbit!

37 and 39, just under a two year gap which has been great so far (they're 14 and 16 now). It meant I had a second maternity leave when the oldest was 2-3 years old so lots of extra time with him but he was at preschool too so I had time on my own with the baby too. Also virtually everyone I met when on maternity leave with the first had another two years later so we were on leave together again and all went through school in the same two year groups, which has been nice.

Had my first at 36. I've just turned 40 and been trying for a second for 18 months

37 with 1 (and only). And the rest of you who have answered on here are probably the right age to now be humming Rick Astley ;-)

Surely you mean humming along to Chesney Hawkes?

35 for no1 and 37 for no2, just under 2 year age gap.

Had first and only at 37. Had a miscarriage at 40 and havn't conceived again. I'm 44 now.

37 and 41. Youngest is 6 months now and it's all been good so far. Oldest adores her.

First 35, second 37.

I was 2 months past 35, and 3 months before I was 38.

Had my first at 36, currently pregnant with my second now at 38.

Two and a half years later and dc three arrived nearly four years after that

@MaidofKent78 chesney hawkes!!

1st: 32
2nd: 34 (turned 35 a few months later)
3rd: 37 (turned 38 a few months later)

36 and 38.

First and only at 34. Briefly tried again at about 36 (like, one night ) but eventually decided dh's health was just too fragile. He's dead now. Don't know if it was the right decision because ds would always have benefited hugely from having a sibling, but life was so hard when ds was small that I still think it was just about the right decision as a whole family.

35 and 36. 11.5 month gap

1st 32, 2nd 35, 3rd 37, 4th 39- that was 4mths ago. I've turned 40 since and I very much felt the difference in late pregnancy and recovery this time around.
I would say don't hang about.
