I am 33F, yearning, hoping, praying for a husband and family one day. But alas, here I am, as single as a Pringle, after calling it quits like 6ish months ago with my ex.

I am low-key scared that I am going to be too old to have kids or have a really difficult pregnancy because of my age. And I want two kids, at least O.O

I was on dating apps for a while after the breakup, went out on a few decent dates but eventually deleted all my profiles after getting fed up with all the losers on them.... SIGH I guess I will give OLD another try soon. Maybe it will be better now that the the breakup is more of a distant memory.

19, 27 and trying for our third at now 32! (DH is 38 now).

We’ve stretched it out a lot 😂 pregnancy was a lot harder emotionally at 19 but easier physically.

I was 26 and knew NOTHING about life. My sister was 43 and still knew NOTHING about life. She went through countless boyfriends letting her down then was financially fortunate and stable enough to go it alone went to Greece got a donor and had a baby on her own. Better to be a single Pringle than to end up being in a god awful 2 parent relationship with a child that ends up watching a catastrophic break up in my opinion. 33 is young, wish I was 33 that’s for sure. I’m 46 and 33 seems like yesterday… sigh…

Title just says "how old were you when you had your first baby,"not the second,third, fourth.

41 (second at 43) got pregnant very quickly both times, so it’s not a given that it will be difficult for an older mother.

I was 33 for my first and 35 for my second.
