    And just to add my tuppence in,

    I had my 1st at 19. Now 31 and onto my 3rd.

    I was told with the first, that younger mums have more time and energy to devote to their kids, but the older mums have more money and patience!

    Swings and roundabouts.
    SNAP Charlotte-lol :rotfl:

    Congratulations MM,very happy for you.I had my first at 19 and was frowned upon for not being older.Now friends that are older are looked down on for not being younger-you can't win, so just make sure you please yourself! :D

    Congratulations Milky Mocha! I have posted before on another thread and have the same dilemma so maybe mine will be solved for me too unexpectedly in the same way! Enjoy your pregnancy and keep us updated.

    Congrats Milky Mocha.

    Just read this thread. I have two kids and gained another two with my new partner (some sort of warped BOGOF offer! :) )

    My stance is that there's never a right time to have kids. You just gotta go with the flow.

    I always encourage my friends to have children. After all, as they say, misery loves company! ;)
  • Congrats MM. Wonderful news.
