I was 47 when my eldest turned 18, 51 when my youngest did.

I have 8 and I will be 39 when my eldest is 18, and 53 when my youngest is. I’m 35 atm.

S0upertrooper · 05/07/2021 11:06

I was 45 (DS is now 27)

When I was 18, DM was 55 and DF was 63. I hated having older parents.

Inmypjsagain · 05/07/2021 11:07

I’ll be 52! It’s really interesting- I’m the youngest in my nct group and the third youngest amongst my friends to have a baby so I guess I thought that was the “norm”, so I was expecting to see more responses saying ages in the 50s.

VettiyaIruken · 05/07/2021 11:07

They're over that but I still want to play 😁
I was 43 when my eldest hit 18 and 44 when my youngest did

Struggled to conceive and was very lucky to fall pregnant at 42.

I was expecting more responses in the 50s too. Most of the mums I know were a similar age to me when having first, early 30s.
Pinksmyfavoritecolour · 05/07/2021 11:11

I was 43

HairyFloppins · 05/07/2021 11:11

I was 38 for my first and I'll be 42 for dd2.

LST · 05/07/2021 11:12

40 with DS1 and 42 with DS2

lollypoppi · 05/07/2021 11:12

I'll be 49 and just turned 52 seems quite old when I write it down! My mum was a Gran at 44, so young! She had her first at 21 and my sister had her first at 23.

My mum had me at 23, dad was 24 and I don't remember thinking they were really young parents. I realise now they were. What I did notice is when one of my friends mums was so much older. I think she had her closer to 40 but most of my friends parents had their kids early to mid twenties.

elliejjtiny · 05/07/2021 11:13

42 with my eldest, 50 with my youngest. That seems really old!

CupOfTPlease · 05/07/2021 11:14

@RevolvingPivot

My mum was always one of the eldest mums. She had me at 26 and I was that age when I had dd.
I had DS at 26 and didn't think I'd be classed as one of the older mums! Grin.
