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 and 38. If I had my time again I'd have done it earlier as now knackered with teens! Also spent a lot of time crying at baby ads before, so my body was telling me to get on with it!

Brokeandold · 30/10/2026 18:03

First at 30, second at 32 and third at almost 41
Our DD (3rd) who is now 16 has battled her teenage hormones alongside my menopausal ones, shes done soo well! Very proud of her!
She senses my mood and makes me a cup of tea, I sense her mood and run her a bubbly bath followed by a hot water bottle.

Linnende · 30/10/2026 18:05
