I know I am far from the oldest but I was 36 when I had my last child. 29 when I had my first. And 2 in between.
How old were you when you had your last one?

    None so far! I am 32 years old.
    My plan is to start no later than 35 for two - three kids...anything older than that and I will probably only have 1 or none.

    I don't know the exact age her momma was when she gave birth to her, but a girl who I went to high school with was a GREAT AUNT at age 16.

    Apparently her parents were very elderly, and her brothers and sisters treated her as their own daughter since they were closer to the age you'd expect a 16 year olds parents to be. She had nieces and nephews that were around her age, and even one of them had a child, which made her a great aunt at age 16.

    My dad's mother got pregnant in her 40s, which is why my 50+ year old dad has a 30 something brother who is closer to my age than his. And...my mom had my sister at age 38.

    And...that's my story telling for the day. LOL

    Ask me in a few years. At the rate it will take to save for IVF (my only chance), I'd be close to 50 before I had enough for one round.

    My first one that I lost, I was 29. I thought that was the perfect age for me.

    One of my guys at work has a nephew that is a few years older than him. His mother had him (my coworker) later in life, and his siblings were much older than him.

    Glad to hear some people were in their late 30's and early 40's! I'm 30 and I'm not planning on starting a family for a good few years yet. I still feel too young but I know I can't wait forever!
