Am I too late to find love and have children at aged 28

[RachE6]

I'm unexpectedly single. Without going into the particulars, We were trying for a baby but I became unhappy with other things and I left.

Now I'm worried about the future, I know my biological clock is ticking. I wanted a baby in my twenties, I was certain I wouldn't bother in my thirties. Now I will have to meet someone new which I don't know how long will take, I'm heart broken so I need to get over this relationship first. I'm scared to start again.

I met dh at 33, married at 36, baby at 39. It is not too late.

Definitely not too late. I met my husband at 24 but most of my friends didn't meet theirs until 29-35. We will all be 34-37 this year and the children age between 2 months and 5 years.

Oh my you’ve made me feel old lol. I met my amazing husband in my late thirties (he in his 40s) and we had our children with no issues whatsoever.
The most important thing is not to settle, life is too short for the misery it brings.

Met DH at 29. Had DC when I was 34 and 37. Lots of my friends had DC later.

Not at all late. I had 2 DC mid-20s with the man Id been with since 18, but with hindsight waiting would have been better. Not that I would wish away my DC - obviously not - but my ex wasn't right for me and he was not ready for fatherhood, so I basically did it all myself and missed out on a lot while he carried on being young.
Divorced at 32. Met my now DH at 33. Had DD2 at 35, and we would have another but DH sees us as a family of 5 and we agree that's big enough! This time around has been amazing because he is fully 'in it' with me.
I know it's daunting, especially if your hormones are telling you to have a baby (the feeling can be overwhelming), but see it as lucky - you have plenty of time to find a real life partner.

No. I spent all of my twenties in a relationship I was convinced would lead to marriage and babies and happy ever after.

Needless to say he was a knob and we had a very long, drawn out, horrendous split when I was 29. Thought that was it, I was on the scrap heap. Then a year later I met DH. Had first DC at 33. You’ve got loads of time. Make sure you have a bit of fun first before settling down with the next one

You'll be needing contraception for at minimum another 20 years. You quite easily have 15 years of healthy pregnancy ahead.

New research implicates father's age in many abnormalities (i.e. 42 year old mother but 55 year old father), rather than maternal age.

You'll be fine. 💐

No way you have loads of time. I was divorced at 35 but had first baby at 38!

I became single at 28- met someone (Now my ex- that’s another story!) on a chance night out with friends a few months later and had my DS a month before my 30th. You never know what each day could bring!! You could meet the right one in Tesco’s or bump into him while walking one day- my point is- you never know what’s waiting just around the corner for you! Xx
