how old were you when you had your first baby?

miamoo

I was 19 when I had DS, which was a bit young, but I had just finished a 2 year child care course so I knew what I was doing
I was 21 when I had DD and thats my lot, I'm 34 now and waiting for them to leave home lol!

Thank you for reply and though you say it's easy I am unable to find a page that offers me a Post Thread, I can't even find the list of threads.

Hi MAS

If you scroll to the top of the page, you'll see a line of boxes just below the MoneySavingExpert banner. Click on the 'Forum' speech bubble box at the far right, to get to the main Forum. You can then scroll down and look at all the different subforums. Once you find the one that you want to post in, click on it and you'll see lots more threads. You'll find the 'Start New Thread' button on those pages. Hope that helps

Theres a "new thread" button to the left of the screen once you are in a forum e.g MoneySaving in Marriages, Relationships & families. If you click that you can start your own thread within the forum you have chosen. Hope this helps!

I was 23 when I had DD and 25 when I had DS. I'm 31 in a few weeks and find it hard to believe that I'll never have another. It's a little bit sad that my babies are both at school now and don't need me so much but it's all about moving from stage to stage in life.
DH doesn't want any more and I can't see me suddenly morphing into supermum were I to have another!

Wow sooo many people have had children at a young age! I'm 22 and don't have any children. Neither myself or my partner can even imagine ever having a child. Does this feeling change when you get older?

Just wanted to say that up until Christmas this year I had always been anti-babies.
Excuses
Want to buy a house first
Can't afford it
I have a career to think about
Me and OH were fine as we were
Whenever I saw kids I ran a mile!

Then just before Christmas we started talking about it and planned to start trying this summer. Well, as my Dad said 'you must have done more than just think about' coz as you can see from my sig Beanie is due in September and was conceived sometime over Christmas and New Year!

I was 24 when I had my first and 27 with my second, she's now 3. I'd love another but in final year at uni and want to finish and get settled into a job before I do so there could be a fair gap between them!

I was 32.

Personally I think anyone who gets married or has children before the age of 25 is crackers!

Oh, how amazing!! I saw my beanie on a 3D scan at 13 weeks and it looked horrible - like a little devil child!

It was where the skull hadn't developed yet and you could see the brain :eek:
