When Did You Have Your First Baby (Poll)

I'm just wanting to do a poll out of curiosity on what most of the people's age is on here. Today DH and I was talking about the average age for women to have their first baby. How old were you?[Poll]

How about a Special Snowflake here?
This will be my first baby. I am due in October AND my bday is also in October, so 28 or 29. :P
Not everyone on 3rd tri is a second time + mom!I know. I'm a first timer as well, but I was just trying to clarify. That's awesome about your birthday! DH's birthday is 4 days after our LO's DD. It doesn't feel like it should be almost Oct. yet.

I was wondering bc it wasn't worded that way, ya know? Plus a lot of people ask questions on here that would probably be better answered on the other boards, like 0-3 and so on.
DH's bday is my EDD (We're all October babies around these parts!) I wish it was October now! I am more than ready for this to be over with.

I was 18. Just out of highschool, literally a couple weeks. Finding out I was pregnant was deffinatly an unexpected surpirse, but I couldn't imagine my life without him and wouldn't change anything about my life now. Now I'm expecting my second at 20.
DH is two years older than me so he was 20 when DS was born and will be 22 with this one
No way!! I've seen your pics on FB and you look younger than I do! Dang! Hot momma!
thanks!
Isn't she!?!?!?!
I agree!
I had my first at 24. That was perfect. I feel ancient to be 31 and being pregnant. I definately am feeling this one way more.
aren't you all too freakin' kind! If it matters I don't feel that old either
I was 23 with my first, and 35 now.
I am 25 and this is my first. We've been married since we were 19 and weren't preventing at first, just wanted to let whatever happen. Then when I was diagnosed with PCOS we decided not to use fertility meds until after college.
Out of my married friends (not very man) I'm one of the oldest though (other girl was also 25 then). Most of them had their first (at this point only) LO when they were around 21. At my church in previous generations the average age the girls got married was 19-20 and then they had their first LO about 2 years later. With this generation more of us are waiting to get married (seriously, never ever thought I'd get married at 19!) and are going to college etc. So right now I'm one of the oldest, but in a few more years I will be young compared to most of my friends' age when they have their LOs.
I think it depends on where you live and what your goals/values are. My BFF had her LO at 25 (one mentioned above) because she wanted to finish grad school first (got married after she got her BA). My current non-married friends are pursuing law degrees, grad school, opening businesses and travelling. Whereas DH and I had already been married for a number of years, I'll be in school forever and don't want to wait until I'm done (probably 35 at this point), we owned a condo, had health insurance, life insurance and a retirment plan (while in college). So we felt we were ready, regardless of age.
Not so sure about that now! Though the age wouldn't change it.
30 with my first
33 with my second
35 with this one.
