Similar to the other thread, how old are the fathers of your children? My dh will be 46 soon and I'm 35. We're not pregnant yet. It would be second for me and third for him

ButterflyRuns · 12/01/2020 18:44

Should add that it's our first baby! ^

NamiSwan · 12/01/2020 18:44

I'm 34 now, will be 35 when baby #3 comes. DH just turned 35.

We were both 28 when DD1 was born.

AliasGrape · 12/01/2020 18:45

I’m pregnant with our first, DH is 42 will be 43 by the time baby arrives. I’m 40.

So we do have some older dads! We were pregnant but lost the baby just after new year. I'm hoping we get a rainbow baby soon

I'm 24 and so is he, first baby. But we did everything early, got married at 20! (Met at school) I'll be 25 when baby comes next month.

Roseinbloom20 · 12/01/2020 19:31

I'm 31 next month and DS2 is due on DHs 32nd birthday! I doubt he'll actually arrive on his due date though so DH could still be 31 or just turned 32. We were 27 and 28 when DS1 was born.

Rachael321 · 12/01/2020 19:50

I'm 25 hes 45. 1st for me, 3rd for him Blush

Engard · 12/01/2020 19:50

I'm 31 he's 32. Had our first at 28 & 29.

Not pregnant now but DH was 55 when DD born (I was 36). She's now 4 and he's heading for 60. First child for both of us. We're considering a sibling...

It's fine. We get tired but so does everyone. We have greater financial security because of his age. It's made long term planning easier as I'm doing the bulk of the care now, but then he'll retire and he doing the school run whilst I concentrate on my career.

Good luck!

Sorry for your loss OP.
I was 43 and DH was 55 when I had DS.
He already had 2 older DC and was widowed when we met.

RidingMyBike · 12/01/2020 19:54

PS at antenatal class there were two other dads who looked older than DH (then 55) too!

Dandelion1993 · 12/01/2020 20:08

When Dd1 was born I was 20 and he was 29.

When dd2 was born I was 25 and he was 34.
