How old were you when you had your first baby?
If you dont mind me asking of course? I dont mean to be rude, its just me and my h2b are both 26, and we are getting married at christmas. The original plan was to start trying after my best friends wedding next summer, but h2b has decided he wants to train to become a teacher so we are going to have to give up our house and move in the with inlaws for 10 months whilst he trains. It means Im going to have to put off having my first baby, which to be honest, I am devestated about. I will be at least 28 when we start trying, any one got a story to share that might make me feel better?

Hubby is 35 and I am 37, 38 on the 29th of Dec and I'm due on the 27th!!!!!
So, if baby decides to have a lie in for a couple of days, guess what I'll be doing on my birthday lol
So....in answer to your question lol I'll be 37/38 xx
but ,my mum was 39 when she had my youngest brother. xx
24 with my 2nd.
And 27 with my 3rd.
xx
Was a little surprise as we had planned to wait another year or two but delighted!
I dont think 28 is old for starting to try and at least your H2b will have fufilled his teaching dream.

I was 22 when I had my first.. 24 with second and now 30 and pregnant with third...
My sister was 30 when she had her first.
My mum was 30 when she had my sister and 36 when she had me.

I think the hardest thing is that I have never been maternal or even thought I wanted kids until recently, its like ive come over all funny. Im the oldest of 27 grandchildren and I have babysat for practically all of my cousins from the age of 13 - It always put me off because I spent my teenage years looking after the puky, stinky little things and watching my mum and aunties get fat and then diet like mad women, as well as try and juggle careers and motherhood - I always thought they were mental - who would want to put themselves through that? Now all of a sudden I do, its so weird, its like my insides are tingling and I keep dreaming that Im pregnant and then get disapointed when I wake up and dont have a bump! Now I have to wait, and I know its the right thing to do for my h2b, but its hard.
Anyway, I have rambled far more than nessacary!! Thanks to all who posted xx
Some people dont believe shes mine...(See avatar pic, thats us last year on hols!)
Have a nephew who is 5 months and my daughter absolutely loves the bones of him...
Dont be worried about the age thing, im sure youll be a yummy mummy whatever age you are...

22 with second
23 with third
concidering another not too sure if id cope lol,h2b would like another boy but like i pointed out you can't choose what ou get haha,
21 with my second,
24 with my 3rd,
and Ive just turned 26 and had my 4th last week! xxxx
My h2b wants us to stop now, and enjoy it when we're older, our childless friends will be tied down with newborns and ours will be old enough to look after temselves a bit.
I don't see it like that, and would like another around age 30.
Didn't plan to be a young mum first time, but had second as wanted them to be somewhat close in age!
maybe going to try again after the wedding for our second. i would be 23 and h2b 35
I am now 30 and trying for no 3.
I still need to establish myself in my career, we want to travel first and build our own house.
I think we will probably end up waiting until I am 30 tbh as I don't think we will get it all done in 3 years lol.
MIL2B is appalled at the idea of me being 30 when I have my first child but I don't want one before then.
