November 2013 Moms

Any other first time moms over 30?

People always tease us because we take everything slow, and having a baby was just one more thing we waited on.

We met when I was 2 and he was 3, but didn't date until we were out of college.  Got married when I was 27 and he was 28.  Waited 3 1/2 years to buy a house (this past summer) and are now expecting our first child (I'm 31, he's 32).

Anyone else over 30 and expecting their first little one?

Re: Any other first time moms over 30?

  • Yup. We're both 32 and this is our first.

    We never felt rushed to have children and only TTC when we were ready. We didn't really care what others thought.

  • Yep. I'm 33 (will be 34 when I deliver) and DH is 39 (turning 40 in December). We waiting a while so we could have fun being married for a few years. In hindsight, with all our issues, we probably should have started earlier, but it really doesn't matter.

  • 30 here, DH is 32.  We'll be 31/33 when this baby is born.

    We got married at 27/29, started TTC at 29/31 - I was really hoping to be pregnant by the time I turned 30, but life rarely goes as planned :)
  • I was 29 when I had DD and I'll be 31 for this one, so I guess I didn't quite make your cut-off.

    I don't think around 30 is old for having kids. Seems about on par with my circle of friends.
