Just curious what’s the common age for 4th baby

[Shaz83]

Hi just curious what is the common age for last baby 4th or 5th?

As in, what age the parents are when the 4th/5th baby was born?

Had our 4th baby when I was 29, Husband was 30.

1st at 21, 2nd at 30, 3rd at 31.

4th at 40 and 5th at 41.

This has in it 2019 as being 33.2 years.

First being 29.1
Second 31.4
Third 32.4

I assume the 4h child is earlier than I expect because couples having 4th may be earlier side of average for first 3 kids.

I'm 42 having my 4th

I was 39 for my third and forth (twins)

I had my 4th at 39.

4th at 23, last at 42

33 for 4th. 36 for 5th.

I had my 4th at 31, 5th at 32

Had my 4th at 29

Has my 4th at 30.

I was 30. I am the youngest mum in my DC1's friendship group (had DC1 at 23) and completely average for my DC4's class!

I was 28

Yea as in what age is common in parents to have 4th or 5th baby. Sorry should have elaborated a bit more.

1st at 19, then 25, 29 and final at 32

Had my 4th at 35 and 5th at 40. 5th would have been at 38 but i had a lot of early mc between 4 and 5.

I hadn't had any losses up to and including 4th.

I had my 1st at 19
2nd at 20
3rd at 28
4th at 35
5th at 37

1st at 29
2nd at 30
3rd at 32
4th at 37

1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th they are all exactly the same age when born.
New born.

😁 sorry I had my last one at 37.

Ok so it seems like it’s more common in late 30’s… I thought it wasn’t because I thought it’s too late to have more kids at that age which is wrong way of thinking and not to assume…

No idea. I don't think I know more than 3 families with 4 or more children!

You thought late 30s was too old to have babies? As in, through choice or actually physically possible?

I was I was 36 (and it was 4th and 5th as twins). It just depends when you start.

As in through choice because I heard people say oh it’s late having kids at that age more so in your 40’s I hear they say you would have less time with them if you have them at 40 etc don’t know why though….

Oh right. People say all sorts! It’s not particularly late to have your last baby.
