My mil has said that because I'm 30 this year we'd better get a move on and have babies soon because otherwise I'll be too old.. Hmm

I'm having yet another miscarriage so this feels a bit of a slap in the face tbh. I know that the risk increases with age but I'm 30 not 50!

Aibu to tell her to go away and I'll have a baby when I've lost weight and if that's a year or so who gives a shit

  1. I think your MIL needs to mind her business, I would hope she doesn't know about the miscarriage to comment stupid things like that.

I hope you're ok, take your time in this process xx

34 & 38. I hadn't given babies a second thought by 30, I was 31 when I started seeing my now dh. I was not the oldest mum in the school yard at all. I'm 53 now and there's nothing a younger mum can do that I can't (except having any more babies, lol)

  1. I wish people would leave women's wombs alone!! They will have children when they are ready, able, want etc. Especially insensitive as in your case OP, no one knows what's going on behind closed doors. I'm so so very sorry for your loss 😞 ThanksIndeed you are young, just tell her to mind her own business and you will let her know when there's something to know.

25, 30 and 38. 30 is not too old at all! You’re only as old as you feel!

I’m 31 now. Some people are just having their first babies at my age and even later. There is no right age!

27 and 29. Sister is pregnant with her first at 36.

Aria999 · 19/03/2021 03:06

38 and 42

It's a bit older than I would have ideally chosen (started trying at 35) but it's working out fine so far!

rainywindow · 19/03/2021 03:12

17 and I will be 18 with the next one

Sunnydee52 · 12/04/2021 03:11

Naturally?

35, 37 and 39. Was considering another at 41 but mine were hard work so stuck with 3. My mums side of the family told me when I was 30 that I’d missed my chance and now was too old. Which was a bit rich when said by my nana as she had a baby at 42.
