From a panicked 29 singleton.

We are very happy, but in hindsight we were both too young to be married at 25.

BeautyQueenFromMars · 24/04/2015 16:09

I had a child just before turning 27 - didn't marry the father.

I met 'the one' when I was 33, married him at 34.

Lotsofponies · 24/04/2015 16:35

1st child at 18

Married at 21

Divorced at 23

Met 'the one' at 24 - didn't bother getting married

2nd child at 37

3rd child at 39

Now not sure 'the one' is ' the one', or if I am 'the one' for him - time will tell.

LegoLady95 · 24/04/2015 16:54

I met DH 3 months before I turned 30. He was 27. Moved in together after 6 months. Had first baby at 31, second at 32, third at 37 and married at 38! Plus two house moves in there somewhere. Plenty of time for you op.

badtime · 24/04/2015 16:56

Met at 36
Marrying this summer (40)
No children, but my granny was cranking them out until she was widowed at 47, so I think there is still time if I decide I want one.

DC1 due in 3 weeks, I'm 25.

That's unusual though (not smug, I get that lots of people think I'm ridiculous and must not have 'lived'!)

Met at 27 / married at 28.
No kids, not my cup of tea. We did ttc for quite some time with no success (hence my finding my way onto the mn boards and never leaving) but the older I get (am 36 this year) the less and less appealing the thought of it is.
