debz my teens were very but the GPs were chuffed. Mosy people assume it's a new DH and are amazed when I say all 5 have the same 2 parents.

[hellymelly]

I'm 44 with a three year old and a 15 month old.West Wales though,not Devon.

[hazeyjane]

I've got 2 girls, debz (pics on my profile, including one of me hiding huge bags under eyes behind sunglasses)

Mufti, I live in Marlborough. Whereabouts are you?

Do any of you mention wanting more in real life, because whenever I do, people just look at me as though i am insane!

[mufti]

[seeker]

I'm the oldest person on mumsnet - I've checked it out before!

[mrsmummy]

Hi, I am 43 with an 8 year old and and 5 year old and live in the north west, and there won't be anymore!

[arabicabean]

I must be one of the most antiquated first time mums around. I am 45 with a seven month old baby. Hard work at first, but tremendous fun now. Also, a challenge to get back into shape.

[goldndiamonds]

I'm 49 with a 5 year old. So Arabicabean, 45 with a 7-month old! Well, you beat me and Acinonyx in the first-time mum stakes! (I know of someone who was a 47 year old first-time mum all naturally conceived and normal, Guiness Book of Records stuff that!)

[Acinonyx]

Yup, irl my first-time mummy friends are all at least 10 years younger than me.

Arabicabean and goldndiamonds, did/do you have a lot of child-free friends from having been a late starter and how are those friendships bearing up? I just had one of my oldest (child-free) friends to visit and it seemed as though she was 46 going on 96 and full of victorian-style 'advice' on my parenting.

I'm hoping dd will keep me young

[janx]

[Kewcumber]

HIJACK - don't suppose you fancy a trip to Woking for lunch this Sunday do you?

[Kewcumber]

being 43 with a 2 year old things to your brain...

[Elibean]

Ah, that would be me (apart from the Devon/Cornwall bit).

48 with a nearly 5 and a nearly 2 year old.

Now you can all either faint, or sit back and feel young again

[Kewcumber]
