POLL: I know we've asked this before

But how old will you be/were you when having your last (biological) child?

If life went swimmingly to plan (ha!), I think I will be 36. But that's still 4yrs from now so who knows what'll happen in that time?

Re: POLL: I know we've asked this before

  • I think I'd like to have my last no later than 32. I'd like to be a relatively young mom.
  • We want 5 or 6 so I will be older.  I would like to be done around 35 or 36.

    My original plan was 27, 29, 31, 33, and 35 but I am ahead of schedule.  I had/am having these kids at 26, 28, and 29. I like their spacing so I am leaning towards a new plan of 27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 35.

  • I was 28 when I had Natalie and 30 years old with Owen and I am done (I am 34 now).
  • If we had 3 kids, I'd probably be 36-38.

  • No older than 32 per Drs orders based on complications in my first pregnancy.  Luckily I'm only 28 now, so that fits into what we had planned anyway.

  • two and done. So I was 28 when I had DD and that was good for me!

    I thought I would be done having kids by 30 anyway.

    Holy moly, woman! You are much braver than I!

  • Ideally, 30 or 31. I'm 27 now and will be when I have this one. We'd like a 3rd, but I want #2 and #3 to be more like 3 years apart.

  • I had my last 2 weeks shy of 29.
  • I'll be 32, almost 33 when this baby is born.

  • I had my first at 30 (turned 30 six days before he was born) & my last at 31.

    How funny, I turned 30 six days before my first too! And, even weirder, that 30th bday was the day your 2nd was born (3.17.07)!!

  • If things start working, I'll be 26.  I won't want to have any children past the age of 30, though.

    How weird - Nick & Abbie (sp?) are very close in age! :-)

  • 36.  I am going to be 35 this year and if we have another, I'd like it to be sooner rather than later.
  • If everything goes as planned, I will be 35.  We are going to start ttc soon, so I should be having our 3 rd (and probably last) around my 35th birthday.

  • I'm 32 and just had my last.  I got a late start (sort of....didn't start TTC until around 27.  Then, it took 27mo to conceive her.  Then, I had them in rapid succession, so I've been able to "finish" by 32. 

    We're both getting fixed and moving on with life.  

    Pregnancy takes a horrible toll on my body and I could never be a spry 35+ and pregnant.  I'm not even "spry" now and my body can't handle it.  

  • 30- we are done now
  • One & Done 38 when I had her

  • I turned 40 three months before DD was born. That has always been my cutoff age.

    We are so done.

  • I was 28 when DS was born...and I think we're done.

     

  • I'll be not quite 30.  DH will have just turned 37.
  • I was 35 and 36 when they were born. Done!
  • Honestly, I really wanted to be done by 30. I'm 29 now, not having a baby in the near future...so now I'm aiming for 31 (maybe right before my 31st b-day). I only want one more baby though.
  • If I have my way, I'll be done by 30.
  • The jury is still out. We've been TTC for several months, and if we get pregnant before the end of this year I'll be 30 when he/she is born. I don't know if we'll have more after that or not.
    She's crafty - and she's just my type.
  • we will try next year for #3 and i will be 28 when we start trying.  i would like to be all done by 30 if we had a 4th.

    Im up for having a baby until Im 35.  Im only 25 now so I have 10yrs of baby birthing years in me.  Too bad we are leaning towards only 3.  We orignallyl only wanted 3 anyways but lately we have thrown the idea of a #4 around.  Not any time soon though.  One or both of us need to go back to school first. 

    Is it bad that I secretly wish we would have a set of boy/girl or b/b twins when/if we try for #4? 

  • Hopefully 32 (age I am now).  Possibly 33 if it takes 3 cycles.
  • Back when I actually had a plan, it was 30-32.  Now I actually don't care anymore.  Nothing in my life is really going according to plan, so I will figure it all out somehow.  I don't *think* I will be older than 40.  That will give me 11 years if I (I mean we) decide to have 4 kids.

  • Our youngest DS was born one month before I turned 32.  If we have one more, I would like it to be in 2 1/2 years or so, so I would be 35ish.  I am not sure that we will have another, though.  That is still up in the air.

  • I was 26 when he was born we're one & done, so 26...

  • I'm 36.  We don't plan to have any more after the twins.
  • I was 33 when I had Ben and we are done.
