Older mums

[rosie17]

Hello older North London mums - are you out there?

i think i am quite old too

and in north london

Feeling like the oldest mum on the block. I'm 40 something this year with a 19 month old and a 5 year old doing their best the keep me young/age me prematurely (depending on what sort of day I'm having)

sorry not from North London, but an older Mummy!
Started off been quite a young one, but havent stopped!!!

Well, lets broaden the search - hello older mums where ever you are. who's up for a chin-wag?

i'm old and i'm in north london. hello

I'm in West London and I'm really ancient

phew, glad you posted, thought i'd killed the thread.

Yep, I'm in West London and cracking on a bit

When you all say older mum, what do you mean?

Please don't tell me you're all 35...

Hi All. In my case Hester , pushing mid 40's. Not that I mind too much, just gets a little harder to find other mums that I have stuff in common with.

Hi All,

I'm down on the South Coast, 45 (46on the 28th! eek!)with a 9 year old.

This is my 2nd family, 1st 2 are grown up 24 and 22 and I'm a granny too!

Being a granny is a damn sight more fun than being a mum! Mainly because I can ignore the midnight crying and hand DGD back when she crys/pukes/smells!

That's a relief, I thought I might be the only fortysomething. I'm coming up to 43, and my dd is 16 months...

You'd have thought not Cat but I was treated as if I was over the hill by the medical proffesion when I fell pregnant with dd (and I was only 37 then!) and I did find that quite a few of the much younger parents at toddler groups seems to think I was a bit old and not up for nights out etc.

It's not too bad now but mainly because a lot of the parents at dd's school are older parents (though I think I'm the oldest for her class!)

hello littlemisssensible I too live on the South Coast, was pg at 39 with my now 20 yr old (second marriage) and have 2 gc. Nice to know I'm not uniquely freaky

Just out of interest what age is now classed as an older Mum?

In my home Town, at 34 (if I was a pregnant) I would be classed as an older Mum!

I haven't got any gc, but I am really very old. I'm in London, but sarf of the river.

I am like Auntymandy-quite young when I started but kept on till I was definitely an older mother! I live in south-east London: my eldest will be 26 this year and youngest is just 8!

How did that happen Batters, I meant 10 year old of course, must be me arfritic fingers

43 with DS (6) and DD (4)...do I count ????

am in Somerset.......

sometimes feel bloody old, usually through lack of sleep......

50+ with dd2 aged 11 today and three older ones.

Blimey! Theres a lot of us about!

Makes me wonder why I often get treated like a rare and weird species.....mind you my dd telling everyone I'm 66 this year probably doesn't help!
