Met at 24, DC1 at 27 then (very happy!) gunshot wedding at 28 and DC2 at 31. Been together nearly 20 years now.

Unusual in my circle, though. My three closest friends were early-mid thirties when they met their partners and mid-late thirties when they started families.

Met 20, married 25, babies at 29 & 33. I was lucky .

Met age 19! Married at 27. First dc at 31, then another at 34.

One of my closest friends met her now DH at age 31, she is now 37 and they are married with three dcs. So although she met her DH 12 years later than I met mine, she is ahead in terms of dcs!

I spent years so anxiously trying to meet 'the one' as I longed to start a family from a young age. I dated the wrong types of men and had my heart broken what felt like many times over. In 2015 aged 37 I met a lovely man, a friend of friend of mine. Aged 39 our first son was born and last year aged 41 we had our second. Never lose hope.. my mum must have told me a million times 'it would happen' but I never believed her.. once I started changing my outlook and started enjoying my life and being happy with me things started to happen
