out of curiosity, how old were you when you had your first?

[Gonnabmummy]

No reason really just wondering.

37+3 with first he's due 12 days before my 22nd bday. Always thought I would have one around this age. Only person nervous to tell s my dad but he was over the moon! DPs dads reaction didn't cross my mind but he went silent on phone (lives away) hung up, called back ten mins later Xmas day might I add. And said oh sorry you caught me by surprise I um don't think I'm ready to be a grandad! He will be 55 my dad will turn 45 6 day before due date.

So how old were you when you had your first? And any others while we're at it :)

I was 19, then I had my second at 22 and I will be 26 when this baby arrives.

I was 28 with DS (though started trying at 25!)

Will be 30 with DC2... Surprise this time!

34 and 36

DD, 14.5 months, arrived 22 days after my 29th birthday.

I love that she had her 1st and me my 30th birthday in the same month of same year

27 and he is an only.

27 and she is a only.

Will be ttc DC2 soon.

Just wondering why you are asking.

It's not usual for someone like your partner's dad to be taken aback at the news that his son is to be a parent. You haven't said how old your partner is? He could be 18 or 28? I am sure your DP's dad will get used to the idea but don't be surprised that some people are surprised that some young people chose parenthood before other things in life.

Good luck with everything...

36 and will be 38 with dc2

DC1 22. I should have been 21, but he was late.

DC2 23.

ds-25
9 weeks pregnant with second dc due in March be 27.

My first I was 19
Second I was 22
And pregnant with my 3rd I will be 25 when it's born.

nonomum just out of curiosity like the thread says. There's no real reason just peaked my curiosity as to what's 'average' I dnt know.

DP was 22 in may so there's 4 month between us. I just never thought he would consider himself too young at 54 obviously he may have been shocked but that isn't the response I thought we'd be met with..

17 when I got pregnant with first, had my second at 20 and my 3rd now 2wks old arrived month after my 23rd birthday :) x

I am due in January and will be 26 when the baby is born. I am not a career woman and always wanted to get married & have a family of my own!

ill be 33 x

I'll be 29 and feel very young! I've noticed at all the clinics that I'm nearly always the youngest one there.

My dad said he was too young to be a grandfather and he was 68!

I was 21 when I had my son, lost our second baby at 23 and am now pregnant, aged 24, couple months off 25 with number 3 due November 2nd, very excited!

Our family had a lot to say about us getting married young let alone once we announced a baby too!

We had the "we're too young to be grandparents" comments too although I always thought in my head when they said it that they got married in late teens and had children shortly after so they were always gonna be young grandparents as they started young themselves

22 and just had my first two weeks ago. :)

If you're looking for an average, googling stats would prob be more conclusive
