Granny - 19 for the 1st and just pushing 44 for the 8th.

Great Granny - 21 for the 1st, 41 for the 9th.

Hallelujah for contraception! What a hard life they had with 20-25 years of multiple pregnancies, childbirth and breastfeeding.

My parents had 3 children while they were still at university. They had no family help and sorted it all out themselves both logistically and financially. Can you imagine trying to do that nowadays!

MissGeist · 04/04/2025 14:06

Mum 27/29 and Dad 30/32

Anonym00se · 04/04/2025 14:08

My Dad was 20 when his first was born (my half sister) and 60 when his youngest was born (my half brother. He had another 4, including me, in between).

My youngest (half) brother was a great uncle when he was born, to our oldest sister’s grandchildren.

Mum was 22 for her first, 28 for her sixth and last. Dad's a year older.

MIL was 19 for her first and 29 for her sixth and last, and FIL is 3 years older.

Both couples have been married for over 50 years and in their 70's now.
Dh and I have a lot of cousins, and seem to have a niece or nephew birthday every week.

I am youngest of 4. Parents tried for children for 7 years, married young.
I got teased so much at school about my dad being my grandad as he lost his hair and went grey young. All my friends parents were so young. I was just at end of primary when my Dad turned 50 whilst lots of my friends parents were turning 30!

Xenia · 04/04/2025 14:34

My parents were about the same age. My mother was 32 (they had been trying for 8 years). Their 4th child (who died at 21 days was born when my mother was 39.

(My father's father was 49 when he was born and that grandfather was the last of 10 children so similarly his father was about 50 - so we had 2 generations where other families had 4 in effect).

elliejjtiny · 04/04/2025 15:24

29 first and 37 last. I was really hoping to have my children a lot younger than them but I was 24 first and 32 last so I was only 5 years younger in the end.

PiastriThePastry · 04/04/2025 15:25

Both the same age, 25 for their first and 34 for their last. Quite a few siblings!
I was 27 and DH 30 when we had our first and 30 and 33 when we had our second and probably last.

Mum was 22 and Dad was 25 with their first.
Mum was 35 and Dad was 38 with their fifth and last.

I was 33 with my first, and 35 with my second and most definitely last. I'm nearly 39 now.
