Would you raise an eyebrow at 43 and 38 as ages of prospective parents?

Don't be PC!

Please be honest! To me it seems older than ideal.

It'd be dc3, if that matters?

No

Not at all.

Not at all. It's not that unusual for dc1 these days.

Good luck!

Wouldn't give it a second thought. Seems like a pretty normal age to me, certainly not unusual.

Why would anyone?

No

No

No, think it's pretty normal especially for DC3.

Nope. Definitely not.

We were 43 and 37 with dc3 - never even occurred to me that it might not be considered ideal tbh. Lots of older parents round our way though so definitely not the oldest of our local friends.

No not at all

No, just go for it

Nope, I'd say congratulations! But then I would as I am DD5 and my mum and dad were 43/44 when I was born.

Not at all. Had my last at 43 . To be honest it's been easier than the 1st

No, not all. we had out first at 41/34 and second at 44/36.

No not at all because it isn't my business.

No!We were both 41 with DC3.

Is the mum the one who is 38?

Posted way too quickly - we were those exact ages when we had DC1 and almost 3 years older when we had DC2. Wishing you all the best.

Err, no. I don't think I'd notice at all.

My SIL and DBro were 38 and 46 when they had their last DC, so I see no problem.

Not at all. I tend to just think so long as the baby is loved and cherished not much else matters.

I wasn't much younger than that when I had my first, I didn't give it a second thought and certainly didn't care what anyone else thought.

Are you in the UK, 38 isn't unusual where I live at all and I thought it was the same all over

Er no. That was our ages with the one before last.
Why would people raise their eyebrows?

No eyebrows raised here either.
