how old were you when you had your children

[thedaywewillremeber]

I had ds1 at 21 ds2 24 ds3 at 28. Did you feel too old or too young? Or was the age just right for you. I feel that it would have been better for me if I had had my first at 28.

24, 27 and 33.

When I look back now, 24 year old me really was young. 33 year old me felt utterly exhausted and worn out, but that's probably because it was my third baby and life had been exhausting for quite some time.

Any age can be the right age- or the wrong age.

28, 30 (just) and 35. Always wanted 3 close together but the first 2 were born in NZ and we were rather distracted moving back and re settling. My youngest keeps us all young and is also the most emotionally aware of them, bless him!

But the record for me is my late mother in law. She sadly had 5 miscarriages and eventually had her boys ages 45 and 49. Fun fact is that the inventor of ultrasound was her obstetrician (Ian Donald, I think his name was).

*ages = aged! She was 45 and 49

DC1 - 27
DC2 - 31

But DH is 10 years older.

It was right for us, and we were very lucky not to have any fertility issues and for me to get pregnant straight away when we tried. I wouldn’t change the age I was, although most of my friends were mid-30s when they had their first child, so I was a bit of a novelty in my circle!

23, 26 and will be 31 with dc3.

I was 32, 34 and 37.

Had good pregnancies, good labours / deliveries and overall good kids!

26 and 32

I felt the perfect age for #1 and a little old for #2.
