What age did you have your kids?

[Lacatrina]

What age did you have your kids and would you say it was before, bang on or over average age wise?

My first IVF cycle I was 23 and I eventualy became a mum on my 28th birthday!

24, 25, 28, 31, 32.

About average for first 2. I wanted to have dc1 earlier but he took a while to come. Bit older than average for my younger 3, and with my youngest I was the oldest on the maternity ward so definitely older than average. The next youngest mum was 29, there was a 27 year old and all the others were teenagers.

I was 26 when I had my only DD in 2016.
DH was 22 which people think was very young but it was ideal for us.

19 and 28

30, and hope to have DC2 at 32.

22 and 24 .. 30 years old , was young but in today age I would be young young .. but for me it was the perfect age and wouldn’t change it

I think she must have meant when she had her younger kids or maybe she’s older and meant back in the day when young mums were more common.

Because I had my eldest 8 years ago when I was 16 and EVERY WHERE I went with him as a toddler/ baby I felt like a freak. I am also a midget who looked about 12 at 16 though

35, only 4 years ago and deffo classed as "geriatric" by the NHS 🤣🤣

My daughter the day before I was 20. My son at age 21. 👍

38. So older than average. Although a lot of my similar age friends had children in their late 30s.

I was 29, 31 and 32. About average for my age I think (was in 2000, 02 and 03).

I was 16.
Im now 39 and my baby is 23 this year.
One and done.

One and done at 38, mostly due to having a good career that funded nice holidays and constantly ‘putting it off’ for another year 😂 It’s a bit old for where I live - most parents I know were married at 30ish and trying straight away. Clearly I’m meant to be living in London and not a midlands market town!

21, 23, 25, and 28

26 and 36.

15, 18, 19, 24, 25 and 31

16
18
25
29

Energy wise I was much more energetic at 16!

30, 33 and 35.
I feel a bit old. I would have preferred 28, 30 and 32, but I hadn't met my partner in time.

18 and 20

I thought about having a 3rd in my late 20s, but it never happened and I don't think I'd be able to go back to the newborn stage now my eldest is the age I was when I had them!

33 and 37. When you look at the parents at school (and all my high school girlfriends) bang on average.

19 and 21. Obviously this is earlier than average.

Don't regret it at all. The younger you have them, the more years you get with them. I had boundless energy. Had my freedom by my late 30s, which was better for me. For varying reasons I would not have been going to Uni or travelling the world in my 20s anyway. (I did get a degree in my early 30s). I should have picked a better dad for them but that can go wrong at any age!

DS1 I was 20.
DS2 I was 24.

I thought I was a little on the younger side, but there are definitely advantages.
I had miles more energy and patience back then.
Now I’m in my 40s I’m so glad that I had mine when I was younger,

Just turned 38 and I felt old.
