Having one of my "am I too old to think about TTC" moments again.

If you don't mind sharing how old are you and do you have kids?

73
2dc, 3stepdc, 9dgc but no partridge in a pear tree. I had my last child at 30 in 1974.

40 with a 2 yr old and 10 month old

LoopyLou1981 · 16/12/2017 22:16

I’m 36 and have a 2 year old and a 9 month old.
If you’d like children then go for it. The ‘normal’ age is getting shifted all the time because so many people are waiting longer.
If I’d have been 36 and have a child 5 years ago the NHS would have me down as a geriatric mother (if that makes sense!) x

37 with a 14 year old and a 5 year old. I feel I am done now. My last pregnancy / birth was truly horrendous and my youngest has autism and learning disabilities. I love him to the moon and back but I couldn’t cope with another child now. I know everyone is different but at 37 now I feel I’m too old to cope with newborns and toddlers again!

Bonkersblond · 16/12/2017 22:28

51 and DS who was an IVF baby is now 13, and DD, conceived naturally is now 9, wish I could have had them earlier but had fertility issues for 6 long years.

DownstairsMixUp · 16/12/2017 22:29

stoplickingthetelly · 16/12/2017 22:29

scaryteacher · 16/12/2017 22:31

51 with a 22 year old ds. Dh was snipped years ago - so no more for us, and I was told after ds not to bother.

Xoticdreamz · 16/12/2017 22:31

39 , 3 kids , 22,20 and 9. All done but occasionally broody.

TashieWoo · 16/12/2017 22:32

29, no children and single. But would like children in the future, probably won’t be before I’m 35 though being realistic about it.

MrsT4 · 16/12/2017 22:32

Ceebs85 · 16/12/2017 22:43

32 with a 4 month old. I want another ASAP

crazyforpiggies · 16/12/2017 22:43
  1. No children
HidingFromTheWorld · 16/12/2017 22:46

43, with one 16 year old DD. Never wanted more children.

A former colleague thought she’d left it too late to have children but, after a whirlwind marriage, now has a 3 year old DD and 5 year old DS.

She’s now 42.

Keepingupwiththejonesys · 16/12/2017 22:47

26 with a 5 year old, 3 year old,10month old and 14 year old stepson. I'd love another but we aren't having more. I think I'll never feel 'done' and its right for our family to stop now. Dh is 36 if that makes a difference.

Cattenberg · 16/12/2017 22:48

I'm 36 and expecting my first baby in the spring.
