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!

Pregnant at 28, gave birth at 29. 30 now and still wanting one more.

Between 28 and 32.
My mother had her first at 20 and last at 35. She said no one thought she was particularly young when she had her first but commented that she was when she had her last 15 years later!

21 and 37. It’s so so so much easier having a child in your early twenties

farmlass · 30/10/2026 06:45

First at 29 then twins at 31 so only 11 minutes between the 2nd and 3rd!

VegQueen · 30/10/2026 06:45

First, 33 and I would like another when I’m maybe 36 but anything could happen. I think this is pretty normal based on people I went to school/uni with and my NCT group but I know lots of women having their first in late 30s/40s too. Don’t know many in their 20s.
