Me and my fiancé would like to start TTC (ideally we would like to get married before)

Curious to know how old people were when they had their first baby?

currently 25, will be 26 early next year

27 and my second is due next year when I'm 29

Then I'm done, couldn't imagine doing this in my late 30s!

26 it's a great age. My 2 pregnancies in my 20s felt much easier than the other 2 in my 30s.

I was so glad we got married first though. It wouldn't have been the same a wedding running around after a toddler or trying to BF in a wedding dress. Do that but first and really enjoy it OP

*do that bit first

Sorry stupid autocorrect

26! Fantastic age honestly. Just had my 4th and now I’m 34 and found it much harder physically (but maybe that’s because I’ve had 4 haha)

DutchessOfMuck · 11/12/2022 19:45

19 for my first and 30 with my second.

Magssss · 11/12/2022 19:45

I’d also agree about getting married first for sure!

lavenderfine · 11/12/2022 19:45

20, very nearly 21. Had my second at 24

30, almost 31.

h78 · 11/12/2022 19:46

23 (2 days before)

USaYwHatNow · 11/12/2022 19:46

Pregnant at 29 and turned 30 whilst pregnant. Wanted to start trying earlier but we had travel plans, then Covid hit and I went back into the NHS so had to wait til I qualified for enhanced mat leave

Mommabear20 · 11/12/2022 19:47

26,27&28

Twokidsanddone · 11/12/2022 19:48

First at 25 and second at 27. First was a happy surprise. Second we planned because it just felt right to have free childcare kicking in for both by the time I'm 30 and I can really concentrate on work etc without worrying about more mat leave

mondaytosunday · 11/12/2022 19:49

41, second at 43. Cousin had hers at 45 and a friend at 46. Couldn't imagine having one at 26!

Rachaelrachael · 11/12/2022 19:50

36 and 37 (after trying for a couple of years)

PurBal · 11/12/2022 19:50

30, a few days shy of 31.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 11/12/2022 19:50

42

4yearsandwaiting · 11/12/2022 19:50

24 and was finished at 29, can't imagine having my first now in my early 40s (as some of my friends have done). Mine are becoming more and more independent, glad I did it that way around.

mondaytosunday · 11/12/2022 19:51

41 and second at 43.

Keepitrealnomists · 11/12/2022 19:52

33 & 38, I didn't want children any earlier, I was having too much fun travelling and partying.

Bestcatmum · 11/12/2022 19:52

21 for my one and only child. He's 40 now 😀

MaryMollyPolly · 11/12/2022 19:53

I didn’t meet my now DH until I was 28. And I still think that was quite young.

StressedOutMama7808 · 11/12/2022 19:53

Just turned 25
2nd at 26

Hope to have my third before 30
