I was 33 when I had DS and DD has just been born and I am now 36. We would of liked to have had our children a few years earlier, but we had trouble conceiving, thankfully they are here now and we only have to contend with sleepless nights, which we are happy to do.

Penny-Pincher!!

DD was born 2 months after my 20th birthday (I am 34 now) and I am very glad I had her young. If we would have waited, because of health problems, I wouldnt of been able to have a baby now anyway. We were married 12 months before DD born (aged 19) and were going out a few years before then.

OH & I's personal cut off age to have children was 30 as his mum was 37 when he was born and had 5 other siblings and he loathed having older parents. So we agreed to have children early on in years.

I was 21 when i had DS1 two months before i turned 22, I had DS2 a month after i turned 26. I'm 28 this year and waiting to be sterilised, DH and myself definatley don't want anymore children, i certainly don't want to be pregnant again, i love my boys to bits but don't want to go through that again.

Well all of you lot have terrified me! I'm going back to uni in september and I'll be 28 when I graduate. I want to get a good few years in the workplace before I have a kiddywink. Figuring I'll be in early thirties, am I taking a gamble?

I had mine at 33 and 36. No choice in the matter, I didn't meet my husband till after I was 30. We lost the 1st one when I'd just turned 32. On all 3 occassions I conceived within the 1st month. My neighbour has had fertility problems since she was 21. The problem is you don't know till you try.

My husband researches his family tree, regardless of which line he goes down he finds the same thing- women having babies until their early-mid 40's.

Im 27 and have no children, nor am i married. Moved to the UK from Australia as met my boyfriend online, been here since i was 21. The time has flashed by in a second.

Where engaged, but cannot afford a wedding, don't have my engagement ring anymore either as had to sell it last year when he was outta work, needs must.floor flat and they advertised with part exchange. Catch on that is the same company had to of built this, fat chance of that its a 1970's leasehold building. So we'd have to sell and then re visit the idea, no chance of that either as would be in negative equity.

Just today we went to look to see if we qualified for those housing schemes as we currently live in a 2 bed ground

We want children, but our pokey little place makes me not ready. I want the space, a 3 bed and as our debt is quiet high i can't seem to think that everything is just against us and we shouldn't bring a child into our lives when its the way it is. No way would we qualify to adopt with the little flat so why bring our own child into it....

I can see us being in our 30's to be honest or maybe it just mean't to be never.
