Curious to know answers! I feel like I was quite young in my area for my first - 30… then second was 33. Still wondering about a third but I’m so tired I don’t think I’ll have the energy to do it if I’m any older!

30 plus one day with my first, nearly 33 with my second. About average where I live

First 30, second 32, third 36. I was indeed very tired with the third, but that probably had more to do with having 3 children than my old age 😆

1st at 23, 4th at 30, I did sadly lose a baby a few months before my first was born.

31 and 38. Average within my friendship group. Most of my friends had their children between 30-40. Probably old for the area I'm from though
