Trying to Get Pregnant
How old were/are you for baby #1?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: How old were/are you for baby #1?
I'm 36, DH is 40. I WIN, I WIN!!!!!
Oh, wait . . .
Baby Etch at 10w3d and 20w3d.
I planned to have children earlier, but it took me so darn long to find my husband! We had our first at 33, and we're trying now, I'll be 35 next month. DH is exactly one month older than I am.
We started trying immediately after we got married. When we got pregnant, my mom said "You're what? Why did you do that?" Like I said, we were both 33. We own our own home, have no credit card debt, we were married, I have a master's degree, DH has his bachelor's, we were both gainfully employed, what more did she want? Sometimes, it's hard for parents to see I think.

We are both 28, TTC#1, married 5 years in October.
I can distinctly remember saying I'd be done having kids by the time I'm 30 just a few short years ago...30 seemed a lot farther away then
I had my first at 33.
My sisters had their firsts at : 30, 36 & 34. My mother was 31 when she had me, 32 when she had the youngest and 26 when she had the oldest. She married my dad at 21.
TTC #1 since Aug. 2010

I'm 34 and DH is 36, and we're TTC #1.
I totally agree with the others: when you're ready, you just know. We were in the "we don't want kids" camp for quite awhile, and had a slow, gradual change of heart over the past two years that included a lot of wavering on the topic. But now we know we're ready. GL!

I'm 28 and hoping to have a baby while I'm still 28... ::crosses fingers:: but this will be my last possible cycle for that since my birthday is in April...

My IF blog
you are so super right!
anyways, i'm 25, my husband's 26, and we're TTC #1
BF help & support * My Charts
I'm 28 and my husband is 29 (both born in March). If we conceive within 12 months we will be 29 and 30 when we become parents.
I agree that age doesn't have much to do with 'readiness' or how good a parent you will be.
We are settled in or careers and have a house, and are emotionally prepared, so we feel like we tick the big boxes, but in truth I wonder whether anyone is really ready, in the sense that no-one who hasn't has a child knows what it will be like.
It's hard when family aren't 100% behind you (this is my personal case, too) but you have a head on two shoulders and if you know you are ready I know you are right.
Good luck!
