I was 15 when I got pregnant with oldest DS (who will soon be 15) and 16 when I had him. I had my second child 2 years later when I was 18 (17 when I got pregnant).
Third child came almost 6 years later when I had just turned 24. 4th when I had just turned 27 and 5th came a month after my 30th birthday
which means if she was still alive she'd be older than I was when I had her... Geez I feel old (and a little grateful cause if the cycle continued I'd prob be a grandma by the time I was 30.. scary!)
I had my first at 30, followed by a miscarriage at 35, a baby at 37 and the last baby at 39. Two of my sisters had their babies at age 40. We say in our family "we couldn't figure out how to do it until we had grey hair."

Sad? Why would you assume it's sad to be a Gma at that age? I'm a Gma at 38 and I adore it!!! I could have been a Gma at 30, I wouldn't have said it was "sad" at all.
