How old were you when you had your first child?

[GoofyDad869]

I was 24 - just shy of my 25th birthday. KAMommy was 25. (She's 6 months older than I am)

 

[Tantor]

I'm the oldest so far: one month shy of my 44th birthday.

We kept saying next year until I heard the clock really ticking, and then couldn't get pregnant. Three years and several infertility doctors later, we had DS. Of course, everyone thought we weren't having kids, and that he was an oops!

We did it backwards, we traveled, started a business, paid off our house, and now I am a SAHM.

Good for you!!

I didn't meet hubby till I was 34. Both of us travelled before and after we married. I am also a SAHM .
Haveing my DD at 39 has kept me very young. I am turning 50 this year and feel like I'm 40.

[jx3smom]

I was 24 for the first, 25 for the second and 35 for the third. I have all boys.

 

[mom2riceboys]

I was a few months shy of 29 with my first and 34 with my second. The sleepless nights bothered me much more with the second!!!

 

[petrymom]

I was 23 with my DS
and 28 with my DD - Both children were planned.

I was married at 21 and wanted to own a house before we had children so I could do what ever I wanted with the babies room.
With DD we got pregnant while building our 2nd house. Stupid planning, never a good idea to be that filled with hormones and going through such a life changing situation as building a house. Very Tramatic.

We are done now - with DS at 11 and DD at 6 we are feeling such an increase in independence. I am looking forward to being young when my kids become adults to enjoys their children and my independence that I rushed away (don't get me wrong - I would never trade my kids for anything. But I shouldn't have rushed things either.)

Good Luck!!!

DD was born 6 days before I turned 22.

 

[DVC-Don]

I was 39 and DW was 33 for out first child (April 16, xxxx). Funny thing is, I was still 39 and DW was still 33 when we had our second child 11 months to the day later (March 16, xxxx). Lets just say we had a busy year.

 

[MAKmom]

I was 25 for 1st DD 32 2nd DD & 34 3rd DD

4 straight years of being pregnant? That is my idea of hell!

Right now we are between birthdays but I actually had them all in 3- 3 1/2 years It wasnt too bad for the first few, but the last two were 10 months apart, THAT was hell!

 

[lbgraves]

Married at 30 on 10/28/97, DS born 11/14/98 at 31, and DD born 9/4/00.

[tae1218]

I was 23 when I had DD.

 

[raammartin]

DS @ 23
DD @ 25
Tubes tied at 25
DH had a "snip snip" when I was 30 (We were a bit paranoid of still getting pregnant. At work I see too many cases of women getting pregnant after having their tubes tied.)
"Female problems" and a hysterectomy at 32

I don't think we'll be getting pregnant again anytime soon.

 

[palmtreegirl]

#1- 25
#2- 29

and we're done.

 

[jodifla]

I was 40....we'd been married 13 years. We'd been traveling all over the world and devoted ourselves to our careers, and it was just time, we felt. I'd never have been happy having a baby in my 20s.

 

[thelittlemermaid]

I was 23 when I had DS9
26 when I had DD6
And I'll be 33 when I have #3
