What size home did you live in when you had your first baby?

[CheesePls]

Just that!

3 bed semi

Awful damp basement studio flat in London with all the gas appliances condemned, a hole in the kitchen ceiling through which we could see the bottom of upstairs' bath, a rat and slug infestation and no lock on the front door. Oh and the bathroom was in a lean-to and the corrugated plastic roof used to lift and flap about when there was the slightest breeze.

Happily we're a lot more settled now!

4 bed

That sounds horrible!!

We had a rented 3 bed detached house plus 2x 2 flats we were waiting to sell after the market recovered.

We had both been on the property ladder for 20 and 15 years respectively though.

Nice!

Same here. It seemed like a dog kennel :-).

I moved back in with my dad, his girlfriend, her children and my brother in a 5 bed Victorian semi so there was plenty of room but I was miserable. When my baby was 1 I moved into a little 2 bed maisonette and I was so happy there until he was 4. By then we had a 2 year old as well and had outgrown the house.

2 bedroom flat. 2011.

Same here. It was not a very nice house, or area, and we were there for nine years in total which was far too long. i wouldn't have had another baby there. My son was four, going on five, when we left. I was very glad to move a bit further away to a three bed semi. It was a different world. i never did have another child, I really relaxed and enjoyed my home for the first time and had a decent part time job, didn't want to rock the boat.

A much bigger one than I live in now with three kids!!

3 bed semi, 3 reception rooms downstairs plus kitchen, but didn't have my first/only until I was 34, bought it as a wreck having sold my lovely new build one bed flat almost exactly two years before ds was born

A four-bedroom house in a very nice bit of south London. We were older parents (40) who met in our late 30s, had two properties sold and were bloody lucky.

I think of it fondly and, amazingly, nearly 20 years later, the current owners know who I am and will give me keys should I get locked out when staying with my lovely ex-neighbours and dear friends.

One bedroom flat ... next 3 bedroom house ... now five bedroom and children are grown ups and moving out!

2 bed flat.

2 bed house. We were there until the DDs were about 9 and 10 (they shared a room just because it was what circumstances allowed us to afford without getting too mortgaged and insecure). Moved from there to a 4 bed house a couple of years ago.

Lockdowns in such a small house with everyone at home absolutely did for my love of that house.

4 bed, 3 storey house.

We've since moved to a 4 bed 2 storey house as the three floors were a PIA

3 bed semi
