How old were you parents when they had you?

[hellohellothere]

And how old were you when you had children? Just interested if things have changed much over the generations. My mum had me at 21 and my brother at 22. My dad was 28 when I was born. I was 35 when my DS was born.

My parents were 21 and 22 when they had their first, I was the third and they were 27 and 28

I was 27 when I had my first and 30 when I had my second.

19 and 20. Had been married for 2 years and just moved to the UK and bought a house. I was 23 and I cant believe they did it, a couple years younger than me and in a new country. They're still together now 🥹.

My DM was 31, this was in the late 1940s.I was her 2nd. DF would have been 33.

I was 28 (an ‘elderly’ primigravida in my notes 😱) and I was the oldest on the maternity ward. But dd had her first at 38. There’s been a big change between my generation and hers.

My mum was 35, I was 19 and had my third at 24.

40. I had mine at 37 and 40

My mum was 36 and dad 41, sadly my father died at 66 so didn't see my children who were born when I was 30 and 33, husband was 32 and 35.
Ironically I had a friend who had her children in her early 20s but she died suddenly mid 40s. I was classed as an old mum when I was 30 in 1980!

They were 29 and 30 when they had me and 31 and 33 for my sister, which I think was considered quite old at the time! I had my children at 32 and 34.

They were 40 and 41. I was a late surprise after 20 years of marriage, and they'd pretty much given up hoping.

I was 36, also after some years of infertility, and the eventual help of clomid.

My mam was 27 and my dad was 30. I was 19 when I had my first. She’s 27 now and doesn’t have any children.

My mum was 19 and dad 20 with me and 21 & 23 with my brother.

I was 21 & 23.

My brother had his first 31.

Having my kids 10 years before my brother hasn’t made any difference to our circumstances either. We both own our homes and earn similar amounts as house holds.

My parents were 30 when they had me, their only child.
I was 27 when I had my first. Second at 31. Third at 36. My husband is 15 years older than me.

My mum was 19 and dad 20 with me and 21 & 23 with my brother.

My parents were 29 and 31 when I was born which was unusual in the 60's. Mum had a career though and didn't want to give that up to have babies. I was 29 with my first and 42 with my second.

Sorry I know this is an old thread but it's an interesting topic!

My mum was 31 and my dad 30 when they had me, both 33 when they had my sister and both 35 when they had my brother.

I was 33 and DH 34 when we had our first, and 35 and 36 when we had our second. My sister was 30 and 32 when her kids were born, her husband was 34 and 36. My brother doesn't have children (yet).

My maternal grandparents were both 22 when my mum was born, my paternal grandparents were 37/38 when my dad was born - one set met young, just after the war, and married a few years later, the other set met older, just before the war,and decided to wait to get married.

My mum was 24 and my dad 29 when I was born. I'm the younger of two. My mum was 21 and my dad 26 when my older brother was born.

I was 28, 29 and 38 when my own children were born; DH was 29, 30 and 39.

Both early 30's. I was the same age having mine.

Too add to that, they were late 30's when they had their youngest.

To me, I felt I had old parents growing up! I would have been mid 20's ideally having mine, but due to fertility issues I had turned 30.

Late 20's.

Same for me.

Grandma and grandad: 23 and 27
Mother and Dad: 24 and 31
Me and DH: 34 and 33

Our DC are 29 and 25. The eldest married quite young at 27. No babies on the horizon.

Mum was 30 and Dad 29. Growing up I felt they were older parents but I had mine at 36 and 39, which put things into perspective!

My mother was 25, two months before she turned 26.

My father had just turned 25. They already had two of my three siblings.

I was 29 when I had my first.

My mother was 28 and my father was 26 when I was born. I’m 47 and don’t have children.

My dm was 42 and f was 55. I was 5th of 6

I was 45 and ds' dad was 56. DS is my only. Most of the mums at ds' primary school were in their 40s. I wasn't the oldest mum in the class.

I waited because I hated growing up threadbare & excluded, and I wanted to provide a decent life for my child. Which I have done.

Mum was 24 and dad 28. I was their first. They had 5 others after me! My mum had her last one at 38.
I had my first at 37 and my second at 41.

Dad was 40, Mum 36. I was the last of 4 children (eldest is 12 years older than me). I had my kids when I was 22 then 25

My mum was 16 and my dad was 18 (they were married when I arrived, if that makes any difference). I was 26 when DS was born and DH was 31.
