Hi I'm 22 and due my 2nd in November. Had my 1st when I was 17Smile hope everything's going smoothly so far x

CobaltRose · 31/07/2018 19:22

I'm 22 and my first baby is due in March! Smile

olderthanyouthink · 31/07/2018 19:25

22 due 17th November

Not gone to any classes yet partly because I look so much younger than the average FTM nearby.

Kate123cl · 31/07/2018 19:30

19 and baby due in January, I'll be 20Smilex

CobaltRose · 31/07/2018 19:32

It doesn't help that I look even younger than I am! I'm often mistaken for a 15/16 year old!

Kate123cl · 31/07/2018 19:41

@CobaltRose Haha me too!Grin

Amcg7 · 31/07/2018 19:51

olderthanyouthink · 31/07/2018 20:09

@CobaltRose yep, same here

Katy96 · 31/07/2018 20:32

Hi @Meganc559 ! I’ve just turned 22 and am also due 16th October!! I know exactly how you feel, everyone I know with or expecting children are a lot older than me, none of my friends have any kids so I feel like the odd one out quite a lot.
Did you find out what you’re having? Mines a little boy 😊 and congratulations to everyone else!

jlm2514 · 31/07/2018 20:42

@Katy96 I'm due 19th November pretty much bang on a month after you, I'm having a boy too good luck!Grin

Katy96 · 31/07/2018 23:40

@jlm2514 how exciting!!😁😁 congratulations and good luck!

sirmione16 · 31/07/2018 23:56

user1906 · 01/08/2018 08:03

Feeling so exhausted all of the time, can’t stop yawning all day when in work! Xx

Sunflower2018 · 01/08/2018 21:57

This is brill! I often see posts for older mums but never younger! I'm 20 and due 28th November. I'll be 21 then... has everyone found out what they are having yet? X

CobaltRose · 01/08/2018 22:07

@Welshgal18, I'm also 22 and due the day before you! My birthday isn't until May though.

Angharad07 · 01/08/2018 22:55

Hi, I’m 23 but will be 24 when I’m due in February...does that still count as young?! 😆It’s nice to see people a similar age it can feel like your the only one! x

giraffelovesbaking · 02/08/2018 13:23

Hi all, im 20 and going in for a section on Tuesday! Pre op checks tomorrow, getting a bit nervous now. Im expecting a little boy Grin

jlm2514 · 02/08/2018 13:35

@user1906 I wasn't nervous at first but now as I'm getting further along I'm starting to panic. I think 1st time was different because you go in not knowing what to expect now second time round we know 😳😂
