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!

1979 1 was 22 and 1983 I was 26. Was the norm then to have babies at that age, well, at least amongst my friends. I'm almost 70 now.
