I'm turning 30 in a couple weeks. Only 12 days left of my 20s. Eek! Just kidding, really... I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. I've been feeling 30 for a long time...if that makes any sense...so might as well make it official! Ha! I voted on the 30-32 range. Bring it on.
@PSUBecky23 I definitely agree that once you're over 30, you forget. My theory is that it's because there's more math involved! @KarenBeth714 Don't worry, I'm older than you (37), and apparently so are 9 other people. Most everyone I know from high school started having kids within the last 5 years. I had DD at 32. My sis just had her LO2 at 40!
@JSAH082215 same here! Currently 21 but will turn 22 just a few weeks before baby is born (: My mom was a teen mom and had me at 16, and I always loved the idea of being a young mom myself. It just happened to work out that I found a husband who wanted the same thing too. I'm so glad I'm not the only one this young on here!
@KarenBeth714 --I'll make ya feel young! I turned 39 four months before LO #1 was born and turned 41 days before this one was conceived! DH and I got married when I was almost 38, so we got on the kid train pretty quickly, but most of our friends have kids who are between 8 and 20! I find that when I connect with other moms who have kids my son's age, the gap in our ages tends to disappear. Also, come hang out on the pregnant over 35 board if you want. There is a growing group of us there!
I'm feeling old, too! I'm 37, and DH is 41. I think there are benefits and drawbacks to being this old! The two-hours of sleep thing is certainly harder now than when I was 20!
I was 18 when I had my 1st and I looked at all the 30+ plus moms and was like dang they are old. I turn 35 two weeks before this LO is born and now I think I am one of those "old" moms. I was so naive back than haha
27! I'm lumped in with the almost thirties! It will be weird to not be a "young mom" this time around. I know 27 is young but for where I live and what I do, 22 was freakish! Eta: I was 22 with my first

Okay, now I read the replies and I shouldn't have said I wouldn't be a young mom this time. I'll still be young just not like "whaaaaat?" Like I used to be. Also I hope I'm lucky enough to have a baby when I'm in my late 30s!

I'm 22, I should be 23 right around the time the baby is due (: I usually don't even remember how old I am though, I stopped counting around 18, I still keep telling people I'm 19 because I forget and think that's right lol
