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!

35 and 38 (at least so far, maybe I’m mad enough to have a third 😂)

35 (still birth) and 37. We had been trying since I was 31.

First 26 , last 39 with 3 in between

I was 28 when I had my first and currently 30 and pregnant with my second. I think this will most likely be our last but never say never!

23 and 33 with another slap bang in the middle. All in January within a week of each other and exactly 5 years apart. I am 38 now and I think if I had one at my age now it would kill me. My mum had only just had me at this age and honestly I have no idea how she did it. Already feel like I’m falling apart

Hightide1 · 30/10/2026 18:29

27, 29 and 37.
Nice to see others with big age gaps between first and last because in real life people act like it's incredibly rare/utter madness

Bib1234 · 30/10/2026 18:30

30 for my first and 43 for my last

and 32, 33, 34 and 39 for the one inbetween

Chumbawomble · 30/10/2026 18:30

30, 32, 36. Tiring but worth it.

IAxolotlQuestions · 30/10/2026 18:31

29/33.

It would have been 27 and probably 31, but lost a couple. I was the youngest of my law colleagues to marry and then to have babies.
