FTMs here. I'm 32, C is 31. I'm very pleased with how this turned out. We partied hard in our 20's and we wouldn't have it any other way! By the time our kids are grown and out of college we'll be ready to retire and party again This time with adult kids and (hopefully) grandkids in tow.
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.
30 is older???? A lot of women don't start having children until they are in their 30s.

Eh, it's all relative @FrecklesInside It makes me break out into a rash thinking about having a baby at 18 but some women are happy that way. If I had babies that young I'd probably perceive 30 as older, too.
I think I am the official granny panty in the group. 39 now, 40 by March. Not "happy" like yay! about age but not much I can do about it now. Glad to be here nonetheless. H is 43.
I was 34 when my son was born and 37 this time. My husband is 4 years younger than I am. It's all about your circumstances and mentality, the numbers mean very little.
I will be 25 and my FH will be 30 when the baby is born. I'm happy with our situation, I wanted to try to have all my kids before I'm 30, but we will see.
I was 31 when my daughter was born and will be 35 when this one comes. I felt ready a few years before my daughter was born, but I was in medical school and residency and wanted to wait until I would have more control over my schedule and time to spend with a child. This timing has worked out well for us though- we definitely made the most of being kid-free in our 20s, and I'm happy to have had these years to focus solely on our daughter without a little sibling.
XH and I were 18. Young and Foolish - thinking we were invincible. I used to joke that having my son early was part of my early retirement plan. Having my 2nd now at the age of 34 kind of kills that sorry excuse. Though I am not happy with the timing of my first, I did the best I could.
Great question! My H and I were 20 with our first, 22 with our second and now 24 with our third, couldn't be happier! We always say we are blessed to be able to have full grown kids by the time were in our mid 40's. We will still have half of our lives to live as newly weds together God willing!
We'll be 34 and 38 when our baby arrives and this is our first (and probably only!)
I wouldn't have done it any earlier. We're happy we're settled in our lives, have good jobs, have a nice home and can finally, truly feel ready. I'm not saying that can't happen earlier for some, but for us, this is the perfect right time.
I was 29 when my son and daughter were born (H was 31). I'll be 32 and he'll be 34, about to turn 35 with this one. I couldn't imagine having them when we were younger...we're much more comfortable financially now and we were able to get a lot of the wild, & immature stuff out of our systems before kids.
Both my husband and I were 21 with our first and will be 23 with our second baby. We were ready and excited to start a family early so when our kids got older we would be able to do things with them for longer
H and I have been together for almost 10 years. We were 17 with our first and 22 with this one. I only want two, so this is it for us. We have always worked hard for ourselves with no help from parents and we both have great jobs and feel we have succeeded so far in our lives. We are very happy to have such an early start.
I was 19 and graduated high school 8 months pregnant . Met my hubby when son was 4 years old. Hubby adopted my son when he was 7. We are having our first baby together. I am 15 weeks now will be 33 on Friday and hubby is 32 (33 in April). I personally am looking forward to being a older mom.
I was 15 and him 18. We made it through, super hard but I wouldn't change it for the world. We had our 2nd at 19 and 22 3rd at 21 and 24. We are 25 and 28 now and this is our last.
I was 17 when I had my first. Young, but I had already graduated early, we lived sufficiently on our own, and I was with her daddy for over 3 years at that point. I wouldn't change it. She pushed me to be the mom and person I am today. 19 with my second, and I'll be 21 with this one. Dh will still be 22 with this one. We plan on having one more in 5-10 years, so we will see.
I had just turned 28 (9 days before) my first. My husband was 30. I think it was a good time in our lives. We are financially stable and more mature than we were in our early 20s.
23 this will be my first and my SO 4th (he's 28). My original plan was to wait until I was at least close to 30 but we weren't doing anything to prevent this pregnancy. I am beyond happy that I am pregnant now after thinking I might have fertility issues.

We will be 29 & 39 with our second!
Hubby felt like he had a late start... So we wasted no time for round 2!
Haha. I'm very happy with our timing

I definitely wanted a child before I was 30, but I'm glad it didn't happen until I was in my late 20s.
I'm much more prepared, especially emotionally.
