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!

36 & 41. People were constantly surprised when I spoke about being an old Mum. Sadly I aged a lot when I hit my 50s and nobody thinks I look young now.

Eldest - 37 and 11 months
Middle - 39 and 9 months
Youngest - 42 and 11 months

Eldest and youngest are IVF (from same cycle), middle spontaneous. I lost an IVF baby between the middle and youngest and had failed transfer before my eldest also.
