poll about age!

[MumNWLondon]

I was reading the times yesterday (annoying can't post link because now have to pay for their website) was article about women having her first baby at 30 and how all her friends were still waiting. Midwife said all first time mums generally under 20 or over 34 unless it was unplanned.

So - who here is on their first pregnancy, how old are you (and if you don't mind saying was it planned?) if its your second pregnant how old were you first time?

Just nosey really couldn't really believe that 30 was young for a first pregnancy...

Just turned 24 and first baby due in 5 weeks. Told had PCOS last year - so we just stopped 'not trying' and let whatever happens happen - and here we are.

was 22 with my first, 26 with my second and am currently expecting no 3 at the grand old age of 38 !!

DS1 24 planned

DS2 28 planned

DS3 30 planned

I had my one and only DS at 35. He was definitely planned

DD1 27 planned
DD2 30 planned
No 3 is on the way, I'll be 32 when he/she is born, also planned
none of my college friends have had kids and they are all the same age as me but most of my DH friends are either pregnant or trying!

I had my first at 24, he was planned.

Am now 32, and most of my friends from school and uni are only just having their first, or haven't had any yet.

I read the article yesterday and agreed with it, I was seen as very strange by most of my friends to have had children so young.

1st 37 - planned
2nd 38 - unplanned
3rd 41 - planned

I was 25 when I had (planned) DS nearly 2 years ago. I was alone in all my friends my age - the next one has finally had hers but no plans for anyone else as far as I know.

Had a miscarriage at 15.

DS is nine months, was 17 when I fell pregnant, and am 19 now. Both most certainly unplanned. Everyone has said, "You're the last person I expected to be a teen mum!" - which I don't know whether to take as a compliment or an insult

1st 31 unplanned
2nd 37 planned
3rd 39 unplanned
Long for another but dh says we have to be sensible.

Am 28 and am expecting my first - not exactly planned but not a surprise either!

No 1 27 planned
No 2 30 planned
No 3 38 planned (very much so)
No 4 ????? Am now nearly 40 but we are planning

I'll be 31 when my baby is born in Nov and he was planned. This is youngish amongst my friends. I'm surprise the midwife knows who was planned and who wasn't, do they ask?!

All three of my Dc's were planned
DD at 31
DS1 at 35
DS2 at 37
Dc4 Dh would love another child but I not so sure still adjusting to three Dc the youngest born 13 weeks ago

30 when I had DD1. It took a while to get pregnant - I was aiming at 29.

39 when I got pregnant and 40 when I had him.

NowI'mAbout106Tiggaxx

24 when I had my first. 36 when I had my 7th and last.

Would have been 33 if DD arrived on time. As she was late I had been 34 for all of three days. She was planned. Would have started trying a year earlier but needed to wait and see about impending redundancies at work.

27 when I got pregnant and 28 when I had DS. Planned

29 when I got pregnant and 30 when I had DD. Not planned

38,39,43

I'm 33 and this is my second pregnancy but first one ended in miscarriage. This pregnancy was most definately planned and took us a year to conceive.

I was in the Times - an article about younger mothers who are educated, but choose to stay at home with dcs - it was in about a month ago!
(Swit swoo I say!)

I am 25 now, had my first ds when I was 23 (planned) and my second ds is on the way.

Not planning anymore as do have a degree that I want to use at some point after I have gotten kids to school :)

1st - 24
2nd (now) - 28

Both planned

Hi, I was 27 with DD, 34 with DS and am now 38 and 26 weeks pregnant with DS2 - DD and DS1 planned, DS2 - happy surprise!
As I sit here with my 2 kids charging around and my huge 26wk old bump i'm being to feel bit old for all this pregnancy malarky though and DS2 will definately be my last lol :o
