How old was your mother when she gave birth to you?

[DebbieB]

My parents were both 25, I was the oldest of 3.

My mom was 29- she turned 30 three days after I was born. Dad was 33. I am the youngest of 2- she was 26 when DB was born.

DH and I were both 32 when DD was born.

My mom was 24 when she had me and 21 when she had my brother. I had my first at 23 and by the time I was 28 I couldn't have anymore. I don't see me encouraging my DD to wait too long!

My Mom was 15 when I was born. She had my sister when she was 19. My parents are still together and will have been married for 36 yrs in June. I'm 37.

I had my first child at 24.

My mom was 21 when she had me. I'm the oldest of four, and my parents are still married after 40 years. I can't imagine having had a child when I was 21!

mom was 22, dad 30. I was their first.

I can't imagine being a parent that young either. I was still in college having a wild time. I had my DD at 36, after a few years of trying but having problems.

36

My mom was 16. She and dad got married at 16 & 18. They went on to have 2 more children in 2 years and she had 3 before she turned 20. They did a fabulous job for how incredibly young they were.

My mom was 30 and my dad was 39.

Im kind of shocked to see how many responses there were of 21 and younger. I'm going to be 21 in 5 months....i cant imagine having a child yet.

I dont think anyone in my family (at least not in mine or my parents generation) was even married before 25. I think my mom was the youngest to get married at 25. Most in our family were/are between 25 and 30 when they have there first kids but a lot of that in my moms generation has to do with the fact that most of my relatives went to law school or medical school and waited until they were done.

My mom was 21 and dad 23 when they had me, the oldest. She was then 26 when she had my sister.

I had just turned 18 when I had my son. Very young......but when I got married at 22 and didn't get pregnant by 25 I went to several infertility specialist. Each told me I would not have children (for several reasons) and were always shocked I had in fact conceived my son. So, while I was young....he truly was a blessing. He's 17 now and I cannot imagine him getting ready to have a baby.
