Hey all,

How old were you all having your first child? I'm 31 and husband is 38. Just wondering if we are quite old or not to be having first child?

What aspect of your ages are you concerned about?

26 with firstborn, 29 with second. Getting married again next year so haven't fully ruled out another one (fiancé doesn't have any biological children) but I'll be 39 when we marry and sons will be 10 and almost 13 so not sure if it's a good idea...

I’m expecting my first at 40.
I’ve been a nanny for over 24 years, so know what it is like to kids, so wanted to wait.
But everyone is different.

I was 31 with my first and pregnant with my second at 37 Smile

Beckanne90 · 14/04/2019 14:04

I was 17 and dp was 19, we was 18 and 20 when he was born.
Second I was 20 when he was born
Third I was just turned 23
Fourth I was 24
5th I was just turned 26

And this time I should be just turned 29, however I’m feeling like it will be before my birthday.

Dc1 pregnant at 19 gave birth at 20
Dc2 pregnant at 20 gave birth at 21
Dc3 pregnant at 24 gave birth at 25

Now 31 and expecting dc5 before my 32nd birthday

Bamchic · 14/04/2019 14:22

21 with first (TFMR at 19w2d)
Hoping for another soon (24)

LetsDoThisAgain · 14/04/2019 14:44

37 for me, husband is late 20's.

Aimily · 14/04/2019 14:49

I'm 28 and most of my friends were 25-30 having their firsts too. It seems late 20s-early 30s is more normal nowadays, so I think you're more average than quite old in all honesty.

gossipgirl28 · 14/04/2019 15:24

Pregnant with my first and I'm 29!

meow1989 · 14/04/2019 17:34

I was 28, DH 31

PhoebeBear · 15/04/2019 08:43

I'm 26 with my first and my partner is 25

Rememberallball · 15/04/2019 08:56

I will be 47y & 9m when our twins arrive later this year. DH will be 50y & a couple of weeks off his 51st. He has adult children and was 20 when his first was born!! I am aware that I’m not just old or geriatric but a positive dinosaur in terms of first time mum age!!

MsSquiz · 15/04/2019 09:04

Both DH and I will be 33 (due in December)

I also thought I'd be a mum in my early 20s, but it's just not how it all worked out

My DM was 28 when she had me and I always thought that made her an older mum! Hmm

Helbelle17 · 15/04/2019 09:11

I was 41 with our DD, DH was 43. I'm now 43 and ttc #2. Most of my friends were late 30s/ early 40s.
