when you became a mother for the first time/when you had your other children if you've got more than one?
More of an 'I know I am being nosy'!
Am 31,married to a lovely man and becoming keen but feel scared still,which I hope is normal,but time is ticking!
Please share your experiences (ages/fears)!
Thanks :)

My beautiful oldest daughter was born seven years ago tomorrow. Sadly she was born sleeping. It took 18 months to conceive her, I was 34. Feeling down about it today.

Ten months later I went on to have
Dd1 35
Dd2 37
Dd3 38
Dd4 40

Age gaps are very small, I am absolutely exhausted and find it challenging a lot of the time. However, considering how bleak my world was seven years ago, I am bloody lucky.

If you feel the urge op, give it ago. It'll take at least 9 months for your baby to arrive, and the trials and tribulations of pregnancy/childbirth, it could be longer. It took three years to bring a baby home for us. Subsequent babies were conceive in the first month of trying (the irony!).

30 and 33, as planned. I'm done :)

DS1 22
DS2 43

So the gap between them is almost the same as the gap between DS1 and me.

Met my now hubby in school and had dd1 at 17 , ds at 22 and dd2 at 26. No more for us! Hubby had the snip 5weeks ago at 28! Smile

So much energy with the boys, not so much with 2yo DD ;)

DD 23 (Born 3 days before my 24th)

Godlessdomestic · 03/01/2013 23:19

Hahah, have just realised what I did.. I promise I wasn't a really early starter.

I had dd1 when I was 22 (she's now nearly 21), dd2 was born when I was 38 - she's nearly 6 and I am now 43.

Sigh, I don't think this dry January thing is helping much Grin

Am 39 in April and think we are done. I would have liked one more but lost a baby between my DDs and found it very hard.
