How old were you when you had your last baby?

[justthatgirl1]

Just curious to know what age people had their last baby .. and did you know that you were done with kids?

I was 33. And yes I knew I was done.

Bump

I've nothing really to add but I want to follow the thread; I'm 35 contemplating a third ...

47. Definitely done

30. Only ever wanted 2

I was 29. I thought I’d have a third and was super broody in my early 30s but it didn’t work out relationship wise so I got a cat instead 😻

38 for our second. Definitely knew I was done!!! Pregnancy was harder second time around. Emergency section almost killed me. Tail end of covid ruined mat leave and baby never stopped screaming!! No way did I want to try any of that for a third time!! 😹

My 2nd. Eight years between 1ST and 2nd..due to Endometriosis/ PCOS./ Ectopic and only one tube and ovary.
Had total hysterectomy a year later.. so knew was my last.

One and only at 43. I would never have considered trying in my 20s, but might have liked to be closer in age to the average mum in our borough - circa 36

34. Second child (third pregnancy). We knew it was our last. We wanted two. Just as well, had a hysterectomy a year later.

3rd at 45 (nearly 46). I didn’t contemplate a 4th child, even though a doctor at the hospital was at pains to reassure me that having a Caesarian at my age needn’t stop me having another baby!

16 🙃

One and done and still sure of it now she's 16 herself.

3rd child at 33. Definitely done.

Swcond at just turned 41. Would have loved to try for another but dh wasn't keen. Wish we'd started sooner so I was younger now, I'm really feeling my age at 50.

23

Third at 29, yes definitely knew I was done though I was/am delighted with three

3rd at 34

Not sure if we’re done

2nd and 3rd (twins) at 32.

Yes I definitely knew I was done. Never wanted more than 3, didn’t love being pregnant and the twin pregnancy was very hard on my body.

Hasn’t stopped me occasionally wondering who my 4th would be/what it would be like with 4 etc. But it has never been a serious consideration.

5th child at 31. 6 years later and I am definitely done

26 and I knew I was done.

But then I split up with my DC's dad and later met and married my now DH. We had talked about having a baby together but it never happened. I'm 43 now and we've come to peace with the fact that it wasn't meant to be for us. DH is a great stepdad and we like the freedom we have now they're 20 and 16.

36, 2 and done. Had my first at 31.

First at 17, last at 42.

34, and I wasn't at all sure I was done. I remember discussing a posterior vaginal wall repair with a gynaecologist when my youngest was a toddler and she advised me to wait as I wasn't sure I wouldn't be giving birth again.

My third I was 30 and very much done!!!

42 definitely last

33. I never felt "done" but dh was very much so.
