Laying in bed next to my snoozing one year old and thinking about having a third child, but feeling too old at 37.

How old are other mums?

25 - 20w pregnant with baby number 2. I had DD1 at 23. Both planned pregnancies Smile

32 & currently 17w with first baby 😁

I think whatever age is fine. If your happy, that’s all that matters. My mum was 37 when she had me!

37 and pregnant with our 5th 😍

Rebecca612 · 11/01/2020 21:22

30 when I fell pregnant and I’ll be 31 when I have the baby. Perfect age for me, 37 isn’t too late!

Mysocalledlifex · 11/01/2020 21:39

WwfLeopard · 11/01/2020 21:46

I was very shocked as I was off the pill one month getting myself ready for the bar!
Best of luck to every lady 💕💕💕

35 and pregnant with my fourth baby, I will be 36 when baby is born. I had my other babies at 25, 28 and 33 years old.

sunshineandshowers21 · 12/01/2020 04:20

27, and pregnant with my 4th. i have a 12 year old, a 5 year old, and a 14 month old.

I'm 35 and have just had my 3rd. Like a PP, I feel a bit in the middle age wise. All my friends from my home town have children in secondary school now, whereas my eldest has just started reception. Where I live now, the majority of the other parents at the school gates are 10 years older.

I thought 35 was my personal upper limit, but now I'm pondering DC4, partly because being pregnant in your late 30s is so normal here I wouldn't feel old at all!

Good luck with whatever you decide. I'm a bit biased, but having 3 is really good fun (if noisy!)

Halloweenbabyy · 12/01/2020 09:06

32 with first child. However I must stress that I’m a 32 year old 13 year old who loves Marilyn Manson, cats, rabbits and anything gothic 😂

doublebarrellednurse · 12/01/2020 09:19

37 when we conceived.

Happier in this pregnancy and healthier than I was at 24 when I had DS.

Princesspickle777 · 12/01/2020 09:21

29 due out 2nd child (3rd pregnancy) in May. I’ll be 30 in June. First pregnant at 25, Had DD at 27.

Roselilly36 · 12/01/2020 09:27

Do it OP, life is too short for regrets, you are only 37.

My mum said I was too old when I had my first DS I was 29!

Wishing you lots of luck with whatever you decide.

buddhababy2019 · 12/01/2020 09:59

I'm due in a few weeks and I'm 40

Itsnoteasyfeelingqueasy · 12/01/2020 13:40

37 and first pregnancy

JJTWhite · 12/01/2020 14:29

30 with my 3rd and most definitely last

Smiffette · 12/01/2020 15:18

36 with my first due in June!

Already thinking about baby no.2 and how long a gap to leave, ideally would like second before 40!

Percephone · 12/01/2020 15:37

38 and 18 weeks pregnant with no 3.

thethirdbar · 12/01/2020 17:54

I'm 31 and currently 12 weeks with my first (and only... twins though arg!). I'm actually a little 'late' in that my husband and I married fairly early at 25, first of all our friends, whereas many of our friends who got married after us now have kid/s and we've spent years getting the 'when are you going to start a family' grilling. No fertility issues, it just took me a while to feel like I was ready!

As another commenter said it really depends on people's priorities. Pretty much all the girls I went to secondary school with (who all still live in the same small town and mostly didn't go on to uni) have between 1 - 3 children well into nursery or school by now, whereas my group of uni friends are much closer to me, some have one by now, some haven't started yet. My best friend is a year older than me and just had her first this December, and plans to have 2-3 more! And a friend at work has just turned 40 this week with an almost-3yr old, currently trying for her second. 37 doesn't seem like an unusually old age - if it's what you want, your age certainly shouldn't stop you going for it I think. :)

MamaB80 · 12/01/2020 20:12

I’m 39, and almost 5 weeks pregnant with our 2nd. I’ll be 40 when he/she is due. I was 36 when we had our first (DS). Have had two miscarriages since then so holding on with very nervous anticipation until we can have an early scan.

  1. But my first pregnancy was at 33 and I miscarried.
MummyJasmin · 12/01/2020 21:58

31 with DS. Now 13 weeks pregnant and 33.
