What age were/are you?!

dahnahack · September 2014

My partner and I are having our first baby and we are 20 and 21. How old was everyone else for their firsts? Are you happy with that age? (:

katenkenny24 · September 2014

29 , I'm 15weeks ... and yes even though we wanted a baby so much earlier ... This is when we were finally blessed with one and now I understand because we are a lot more mature and ready for a baby. Good luck !

JNCPro3130 · September 2014

I'm 30 and will still be 30 when I have the baby. We have a house and are financially prepared to raise our child, so we are glad we waited. Plus, I got 5 years with just me and my husband.

052806 · September 2014

When we had our first we were both 27. Had my second 2 weeks before turning 30. 32 now and having my third shortly after turning 33. I wanted to be done by 35 so yeah I'm happy with the timeline.

Bluebell0315 · September 2014

I was 26 with the first and now I'm 32 with the second.

almeyer2013 · September 2014

29 with first, H is 32.

Engineer81 · September 2014

I was 35 with my first and 38 with March baby. I'm very happy with where I am.

kella0708 · September 2014

I was (and am) 28 with my first. Going to be 29 when baby #2 comes in March.

northerngirl11 · September 2014

20 with my first 24 by the time baby comes. First was unplanned but we were still financially stable with a house and two vehicles and mature enough to raise a child.

mangomimosa · September 2014

29. Yes very happy. The men I dated earlier were great guys, but nothing close to my H. I'm glad he's the daddy.

sullivansammy89 · September 2014

I was 21 with my first pregnancy (which ended in miscarriage) and now I'm 25 and H is 27.

Skrittens · September 2014

I'm 37 and H will be 42 or 43...if Rooblet is a little late.

MissyCee · September 2014

I was 25 with DD and will be 27 with this little one. H is 10 years older than me so we didn't want to wait too long.

massiejs09 · September 2014

I'm 34 and will be 34 when the baby comes. My husband is 32 but will be 33 when the baby is born. This is a first for both of us.

I'm happy with the way this timeline has worked out in terms of age and feeling ready to be a mom. Everything works out for the best.

AshleyS512 · September 2014

This is our first, im 25 and husband is about to turn 28 this month.

Same story here

alexandria22489 · September 2014

25 and he is 26. We have been together since 15 so I feel we're at that age now that we will be just fine. Found out the day we moved into the house that I'm expecting. We have a ton to do, but I'm happy to be in the house and not still in a one bedroom apartment and panicking.

aylaroman15 · September 2014

My FI are 21 and this will be our first.

cattledogmama · September 2014

I am, and will still be, 27 and FI is, and will be, 28 when the baby arrives. We are thrilled at the timing as we both really wanted to be parents before we turned 30. We have our own home and have spent the last few years preparing for a baby.

litt1er4 · September 2014

I am 29 and will be 30 when baby is, DH is 37, I think it's good time for us, we bought a house two years ago so mostly everything is settled, I have a decent job with great benefits, saved up a lot of time for maternity leave & extra $$ for emergencies. DH will SAH. We still need to work out some details on the birth & baby stuff but all manageable before the baby comes..

rita213 · September 2014

I was 26 with first, 28 with second and will be 35 when this baby #3 comes. I was very happy with age of first two never thought I would be 35 and having another baby, but I am glad how it has happened.

JenniCollins · September 2014

Met my husband at 20, married at 25 and had our first child at 27. Glad we waited until we were more financially secure and we were able to travel before having a child. I am now 30 and expecting numbers 2&3! I wanted to be done before I turned 33 so I am happy.

klax4 · September 2014

With #1 I was 29 and H was 32. This time around I am 31 and he is 35. I think we are more established now than with our first but I wouldn't change a thing.

thejucheidea · September 2014

I'm 29 and my husband is 26. I think it's a good age -- we've both been at our jobs for over four years, we own a house, we both have dependable cars that are mostly paid off, we have discretionary income, we travel at least three times a year (one or two of those vacations out of country). My parents had me (their first) when they were both 29, so it works. I'm also glad I got to have years alone with my husband.

Critter015 · September 2014

I was 24 with my first and will be 27 with this one.

Lark425 · September 2014

30, I'm 13w 4d pregnant and my DH and I have only been together for 10 months. He's ready for kids and I'm not, but ready or not they come anyway and this baby will be loved and cared for and protected and nurtured regardless. Age doesn't matter. Eventually you just have to grow up.

gina2433 · September 2014

34 with my first and 37 when I have second. We got a late start but we are happy where we are.

amberb612 · September 2014

My husbands parents were young 20 and 22 when they had him. They said it was hard but they made it through just fine. We were 33 & 32 with #1 and this time 35 & 34.

sashass · September 2014

21 with my first and will be 25 when this one comes. I think as long as you are mature enough and responsible and know what you're in for, age doesn't matter x

chajak · September 2014

19 with first and now 23 with second. Dh and I started early

lamama3 · September 2014

With our first, I was 22 and he was 23. With our second, we were both 24. With third and final we will both be 31! I think we are pretty happy with the time line!

jordanbohr · September 2014

I'm 29 and my husband will be 31 when the baby is born. We were planning on waiting another 2 years until we had bought a house, paid off some stuff, but we were blessed a little sooner than planned. The only difference is that I will have to go back to work after the baby rather than be a SAHM, which we would have preferred. Everything happens for a reason though and I'd rather things have happened this way. My husband's parents and brother and SIL had fertility issues, so we know how lucky we are that this happened like it did.

PrimaGraham · September 2014

I was 27 when my son was born, will be 35 with this one...if no complications.

mallorym5 · September 2014

22 and H will be 24 and I think this is the perfect time for us! we will be married 3 years when baby gets here! I want to be done by 28 so I think this is the perfect starting time (:

sawyerj4 · September 2014

18 first 20 second 27 third and 30 for this one which will be my last. Very happy with my timeline. Myself and my husband have been very lucky and successful with our children and our life. It's definitely different being older with little ones. There are pros and cons to both ages honestly.

capulet · September 2014

I was 32 and DH was 28 when we had our first. I'm having #3 and probably our last at 39. I don't know if I would have planned from the beginning to have all my kids in my 30s, but the timing and spacing between kids have worked out really well and I wouldn't change it now.

LadySnowblood · September 2014

I was 28 with my first and I will be 30 with this one, unless I go 9 days late, then I will be 31. We are happy with the timing. We made sure we were good and ready.

cafecreme · September 2014

I was 23 and my husband was 33. For #2 I'll be 25 and he'll be 35.

stepherly · September 2014

This is my first. I'm 32 and my SO is 30. (We'll be 33 & 31 by the time LO arrives.) I feel like this is a good age to start our family, however we have a lot of other things going on in our lives currently. Things would most likely be less hectic if the pregnancy happened a year later, but we'll just deal with everything as it comes. We're both extremely excited to have a LO on the way!

sjep922 · September 2014

I'm 29 and will be when the baby is born. My H will be 30 when the baby is born.

This is my first and the second for my H. His first was born five days before he turned 21.

sunset30 · September 2014

I'm a FTM and 32 (will be when the baby comes as well. For us, my husband and I wanted to wait until we were firmly established in our careers and had a solid financial base before having kids. We are pretty happy with the decision since we have a lot of flexibility with what I do about work after the baby comes. That was the right choice for us, but many of my friends had kids at younger ages and are also happy. I believe there is no right or wrong answer, just what's right for you and your SO.
