I hope I'm not being rude but I'm curious to know the ages of people on the boards
I'm 25 and this is my first baby (Husband is 29). I was shopping at the mall today and got a snarky comment from a total stranger saying I looked way too young to be having a baby. She said something along the lines of 'You're a baby having a baby!' but when she said it she wasn't smiling or joking I sort of backed away slowly and continued on shopping. Yikes.
Re: How old are you May mommies?
31
I'm 30.
This is my first baby. I will either be 30 or 31 when this baby is born. She is due on my 31st Birthday!
I am 31 and DH is 33.
28 (will be 29 when baby arrives).
This should be a clicky poll.
Baby #2 on the way!
This is my 2nd, but I'll be either 29 or 30; DD is due 5 days within my BDay.
FF Confession: I hope she's not born on my birthday... Mother's Day might be nice though!
The Baby Blog.
40 and this is my first...
I find it amusing she said that because when I was a baby, women had kids very early. My mom was 22 when she had me.
Maybe it's just a compliment because you look really young?
I get people looking at me cross eyed when i say i'm pretty old to be pregnant, when I explain to them i'm 40 they usually say "holy *** i thought you were like 26"
I am 21, will turn 22 on May 14th so my lil princess and I will share a birthday month!
OP I get those comments all the time! I do have a young looking face, I barely look 17, so people assume Im a pregnant teen! haha
I was with DFs mom on the local sportswear store picking up his brothers jersey and had one of these moments. The owner went to school with his mom so she was telling him how she was going to be a 'Mimi" and pointed at me. His eyes got really big and he blurted out "How old are you?!?!" After I told him , he looked visably relieved and said "Oh ok..."
19....I'll be 20 when he's born.
I hear it all the time. Lol. But it's true, I am very young!
FI & I had planned on waiting until we were about 25, so I don't think you're young at all!?
23 on May 17th ? due the 23rd.
People think I'm 15/16 when they look at me though (no matter how I dress), who I am with, or what I am doing ? my mom's just turned 40 and still gets ID'd all the time, even if I'm with her! My family just looks young I guess.
So maybe the lady thought you you're much younger than you really are (though I still don't think people should judge).
I had planned on kids while fairly young so I can run around with them I LOVE having a young mom (other than her issues of being less mature than me most of the time).

I will be 28 next month and DH is 39. This is both of our first.
We're both 26 - DH will turn 27 in early May, so possibly before baby is born. This is our first.
How rude of said stranger! I would have asked her why it was any of her business!
Me and DH will both be 28 when LO is born. This is the first for us.

I am 26 and DH is 30 (we will be 27/31 in March).
I had a lady at the gym last week ask me how old I was. She seemed relieved when I told her 26, as she said she thought I was 20/21.
I'm 26, DH turned 27 TODAY! I was 23 when I had my son.
You should have asked this women how old she was when she had her first. It seems they started waaaay before we did. My mom was married at 18 first baby at 19, and had three of us by the time she was 26. My grandparents were the same way!
Woo hoo! You go girl. I thought i was robbing the cradle at 40 with a 36 year old husband
You must be a cougar! Rarrr

I'll be 30 when LO is born, DH is 37. I don't look near 30 so I'm sure people wonder how old I really am. At 25, I think people should lay off... what about those 15 & 16 year olds having babies? That's who they should be targeting with their comments.
Disclaimer: My niece was a young mom and my cousin was a young dad so I'm not criticizing, just re-routing their comments to make them more appropriate.
BFP 1.11.10 - Natural M/C 1.21.10 (5w5d)
BFP 9.19.10 - Mia Lynn born 5.4.11 (36w6d)
BFP 8.05.12 - waiting for Baby G2, edd 4.10.13
This! I thought I had a big gap with DH being 6 years younger. More power to you.
