How old were you when you had your last baby.

[summerfinn]

I was 22 having my first and will be 37 having my last. Just wanted to see is 37 a common age for having your last baby. I never dreamt I'd be pregnant at 37 . I always thought that it was a bit old. Now I'm scared that I'm just being selfish and could have a baby with lots of issues.

Still trying for no.1 at 41, so 41 plus!

First at 17, last at 24.

Ok we don’t own our house but we rent securely off family a property with land that has no mortgage. We both work, me from home and him full time. We also own our own company and married to fill that persons wish list.

I was 37 when I had my last . Definitely more tiring than when I had my 1st at 29 .

18. My first and last. I'm 33 so I could have more if I wanted, but I don't want to.

Not arsed what anyone thinks, it wasn't an ideal time to have a baby but am I supposed to flog and punish myself forever. DS seems to be doing alright and we have a happy life.

I was 19 when I had my only child. I have a masters and own my home.

oh and he is a sensational 25yr old man.

I was 27 for my first, 30 for second and last. My younger son is in a mixed age sports club and I am one of the younger mums with teenagers - lots of mums are my age but with much younger children if that makes sense. So you’re not unusual.

23 for the first, 26 with my last.
I am a homeowner and no benefits where required during the raising of my children, thought I would make that clear for @TheSnootiestFox .
My friend was around 37 when she had her last one, she seems to be doing well and is perfectly happy with her choice, as I am with mine.

I'm going now because I'm sick to death of the downright abuse im getting, ive been called a knob and a cow but apparently thats ok!🤣

I said I had sensational kids because the OP said that kids born to older mothers were likely to have issues. For the last time, the OP was being rude about older mums, and my post was in response to that! As usual everyone has read what they want to and not what was actually written in the context that it was meant!

It's not ok to look down on other people "in response" to what OP said. Not everyone will own homes or get a degree no matter what age they have children! That doesn't make someone a bad parent.

41, but then adopted at 46.

How so?

It's factual that the older you get, your risk of complications get bigger.

It's not offensive at all. If you decide to have a baby in your 40s you are deciding to do so with the higher risks of birth abnormalities or genetic conditions, preeclampsia, GD etc.

There is literally nothing to be offended about.

The antenatal class we attended was all mid to late 30s (me probably being the oldest at 40, I think).

There was one 27/29 yr old, I can't remember which. She and her partner seemed v young.

Early 40s risks are not that bad.

They tend to be one exaggerated in people's minds in the same way that fertility post 35 is hysterically (pun intended) portrayed as a cliff, which it is not.

Had and 2nd and 3rd/last babies at 21

33

It's not OK to infer all kids born to older parents will have special needs either!

What I'm almost 37. Cop on . I am an older mother.

32

33

Silly post. OP knows full well that many women have babies at that age and way older for many, many reasons

I am done at 2. I'm almost 30 now and don't want to go back to babies 😆😁

3 days shy of 43. First at 33, second at 38. All perfect and just for info my husband was 51 for the first.

36 and had one
