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!

31, 35, 39. Would echo a pp that the last pregnancy was hard. But I blooming love the baby, I'm so much more chilled this time than I was with #1.

Weirdly the oldest and youngest are 7.5 years apart but because of where our birthdays fall in the year that makes it look like they should be 8 years.
