POLL FOR SCIENCE: HOW OLD ARE YOU?

Inspired by someone saying they feel like they are older than everyone else here

Turning 40 a week after this baby is born!

ETA Hopefully. I am due on May 27th and my Birthday is June 5th. I think the latest that they would let me go is to June 3rd and they wouldn't induce me but do a RCS (I think). I keep replaying the scenarios in my head that could possibly lead me to be 40 when this baby is born and I don't like it at all. I purposefully tried to conceive this child so I would have him before I was 40 and will be annoyed if that is not the case. Hahahaha

Turning 31 on Sunday.

k2k2tog · November 2018

31. But whenever someone asks, I have to do the math in my head. For some reason, I always want to say I'm 32.

eatinwatermelonseeds · November 2018

I'll be 30 almost exactly a month after baby is due (June 14, due May 13... Kind of hope baby waits a day 😂).

GeorgiaGirl1230 · November 2018

I’m 32, will be 33 next month. I struggle with remembering too @k2k2tog 😂

beccaneu · November 2018

I’m 34

mrsdee15 · November 2018

Kind of funny with timing for our kids, DD was born right before DH's birthday (I felt really bad for not really having gifts for him last year), but this one will be born pretty close to mine if he makes it to term. I'll be turning 34 shortly after he's born.

Turn 40 in August

bpietronicco · November 2018

@mrsdee15 my 5 year old was born a couple of weeks after my birthday and this baby is due one day before my husbands!

MaggieG183 · November 2018

I love that the survey puts 35 with the 31-35 category...makes me feel young in my AMA stage.

sleepy33 · November 2018

I am 37 and literally never remember how old I am when asked.

kvh22 · November 2018

@MaggieG183 I thought the same, usually it;s 20-24, 25-29, etc.

mcewen3 · November 2018

@eatinwatermelonseeds May 13 is my birthday! I’m 32 and both of my other babies were a bit more than a week overdue, so more than likely will be 33 when this baby comes. DH is a year older than me, also with a May birthday so he’ll be 34 when babe comes.

eatinwatermelonseeds · November 2018

@mcewen3 my son was a week over, but this baby has been measuring ahead the whole time. I'm hoping this one will be on time. DH and I are only 5 days apart. I'm 14th, he's 19th. So, baby could come May 14 or 5 days later and both would be cool (please be 14 🙏😂).

DH and I are 5 days apart too, but the other way around. He's the 8th, I'm the 13th. Your DH is sandwiched between my DDs, they were born June 18 & 20th. I'm due May 28th and based on my history it is pretty likely this babe will be June too, although not quite as close to the other two.

@mcewen3 I'm such a nerd about these things, I think these coincidences are so cool lol.

expandcontract · November 2018

Wow! So many of us in the 31-35 category!

eatinwatermelonseeds · November 2018

I'm actually really surprised how many of us are 26 and up. My last group we had quite a few youngins. 19-22 was the average.

mrskoz428 · November 2018

Youngin here! Date of conception is my birthday...oops! 🤷🏽‍♀️

coffeeislife · November 2018

38 next week

laeberge3 · November 2018

31 until tomorrow!

DuchessOfCambridge · November 2018

28, will be 29 when baby is born

RoseShadow873 · November 2018

I turn 31 in 2 weeks, so I voted as 30.

truth_trust · November 2018

I'm 28, will be 29 in March

brie_and_almonds · November 2018

@sleepy33 as someone who just turned 30, thank-you for lumping me all the way down with the 26s.

My first bmb I was pretty young at 23/24... I was also unmarried and DD1 was somewhat accidental. It's interesting to me to think about the demographics of age-at-first-child. In my small farm-ish town, lots of girls I graduated HS with had babies before 23/24, but in DH's suburban area, none of his friends had kids before us.

truth_trust · November 2018

@brie_and_almonds wow I had my first daughter at 23 and now im 28 will be having this baby at 29. So we had our babies the same ages. I thought I was late this time around.

Jess4us · November 2018

33 turning 34 in April so not long before baby comes!

brie_and_almonds · November 2018

@truth_trust definitely not late! We are in the middle of the pack!

eatinwatermelonseeds · November 2018

I had my son at 24, and I was actually older amongst my group of friends. One of my friends had her first at 19, the other 21. So, while looking back and thinking "man, I was so young" 😂 I definitely did not feel young. I got married at 22 and I was like "man, I'm so old to be getting married" 🙄 I was a bit obnoxious 😂

robyn2201 · November 2018

I had my first at 28 and most of the ladies on that BMB were are around the same age and having their firsts as well. Now I’m just old at 36, haha. Baby will be born right around my 37th birthday.

MelissaMay82 · November 2018

I'm 36, I'll be 37 in April.

Happy belated birthday!!

knarlytaurus · November 2018

This so awesome! So many of us are in our thirties. I'm 37 now, will be 38 when the baby's born (my birthday is at the end of april). I feel like a lot of the people around me were all having their firsts in their mid-thirties, but know it's not the norm everywhere. Where I live (somewhat rural with farms, but some areas emerging suburban) you occasionally see the high school teenage single mom or couple with a newborn, and I think of how incredibly hard it must be to be in your teens with a baby. But I'll bet people will be saying that about me and DH (his birthday is June 2nd and he'll be 54!😳) I'm hoping what we lack in energy will be made up with patience 🤞

imrachellea · November 2018

I'm 33, I'll turn 34 on 5/12. Given that both my girls were born after their EDDs (4 and 7 days) I have no doubt I'll be 34 when this baby arrives. It will also likely be a June baby with a 5/30 due date.

I am the lone wolf in the fertile octogenarian category.

Wait what?! You're actually in your 80's and are pregnant?

jkduer · November 2018

I’ll be 33 when baby comes and I’m the first one from my close childhood friends to have a baby. Plenty of other people from my childhood have had kids in the last 5 or so years, but it feels weird to be the first of my close friends this “late” in the game.

bgdwg · November 2018

I'm 26 and turn 27 on May 31. EDD is May 13 but he/she is my first so I'm sure they'll come late. Hopefully baby doesn't come too close to my bday!! May is the month of bdays for my family. May 1, 3, 9, 11, 12, 19, 29 and 31 (Mom, brothers, sis in law etc). My family is all trying to guess who's bday will be closest to the new LO.

As for age - I didn't want to try for a baby until 28 but when condoms break, condoms break lol. Que sera, sera.

bgdwg · November 2018

Ps. Not sure if it matters but DH is 32. Love our age gap! It's been so good for us.
