What is average age to have children where you live?

I'm in North London and feel younger than average with two children (aged 5 and 1) at age 35.

I'd say an older mum where I live would be someone having their first child over the age of 40.

I was talking to one of my friends from where I grew up (Norfolk) about how tired I am and she said how hard it must be to have a toddler at my age Grin

So what's average where you live?

In London where I live, the average age was 34.5 in 2017, apparently.

In my friends group/school Mums group, most had their firstborns from 32-40, a few a bit younger and a few a bit older...I have one friend who had her 1st at 24 and another who had her 5th at 47 so there’s a big gap..

I had my 4 children from 33-41...I’m definitely one of the older Mums at school with my youngest but average with my other 3...
