  1. I am 36 now and am happy with just the one - especially as I will have the place to myself once Dd's started uni next year!

First at 22 (unplanned complete shock!) second due in 5 weeks at 25. I want a third and final by 30.

I had similar coffee but at 36. There's no way in hell I'll be having another. DC is 2.3, I have just had sex for the first time since his birth Sad

Thanks for us and our poor bits.

29 first baby. But my marriage ended when I was 31. I met my second husband a few years later and we had our first baby together when I was 38. I am now 41 in my third trimester with number 3. In an ideal world, I would definitely have completed my family before 35. I would have had my first before 29. But life forges the path for you at times. I feel very blessed and so happy to have been given the chance to remarry a wonderful man and to have (almost) 3 kids. I never, ever thought that would be the case. I am truly grateful for this. Had I not divorced though, I wouldn't have waited into my late 30s to complete my family.

First at 30, second and third at 35 with new partner who had two older ds of his own. Decided that was enough between us Smile

1st at 37
2nd at 41
3rd at 43

Married at 20 and divorced at 25. Married 2nd husband at 32 and tried for 5 years with multiple MC till we had DC1 with help. Started trying almost straight away for no2 and had him with help. Was told I couldn't have any more as my body just wouldn't do it, 22 months later and DC3 puts in an appearance with no help at all Grin . I'm now 48 and although I haven't taken any contraceptives I haven't been able to get pregnant again.

oodyboodyboocs · 13/03/2014 10:40

I had my 1st at 25 and my last at 32

Dontbugmemalone · 13/03/2014 10:40

20 and 24, no more for me! I can't go through it again.

Foxeym · 13/03/2014 10:45

DC1 at 27 with ExH
DC2 at 30 with ExH
DC3 at 42 with DP and haven't decided yet, DP would love another but realistically I would be about 44 so not sure?

Shellywelly1973 · 13/03/2014 10:46

I had 2 dc in my teens.

I had 1 dc in my 20's.

I had 2 dc in my 30 ' s.

Just had dc6, I'm 40. If dp & I reconcile our differences there will probably be another 1...

oscarwilde · 13/03/2014 10:48

Two kids at 36 & 38. I'm done (hopefully) as it's my personal preference not to be having children in my 40's. Too knackering Grin

GotMyGoat · 13/03/2014 10:49

Not. Ever. Again.

Me23 · 13/03/2014 10:50

Dc1- at 23
Dc2- at 29 thought I was done but then....
Dc3 due oct I'll be 32.

SaveTheMockingBird · 13/03/2014 10:51

I was 31 and 32 when had my 2 DCs and I'm done.

giggly · 13/03/2014 10:54

First at 38 second and last at 43.

BettyFriedansLoveChild · 13/03/2014 11:13

First at 35, second will arrive when I'm (just) 37. Though that I didn't want children in my twenties, was ambivalent in my early thirties, and at 35 something suddenly kicked in! Two is enough for me, and we're aiming to have no more nappies in the house by our 40th birthdays.

CrispyFB · 13/03/2014 13:59

DC4 and the last at 37 (last week!) Have been told not to have any more due to a thin c-section scar, not that we wanted more than four.

Lamu · 13/03/2014 14:00

I had Dd1 at 25. Currently 32 weeks with Dd2 at 28.

I have absolutely no intention of having anymore past 30. Although Dh is very keen on trying for a Ds. I would do it in a heart beat if it meant I didn't actually have to be pregnant or go through childbirth.

ToriaPumpkin · 13/03/2014 14:05

I was 26 when I had DS, and DC2 is due three weeks before my 29th birthday. We're not having any more after this one!
