    Married and impregnated at age 20. I turned 21 one month before I had the little turd. She's 7 months now and such an awesome, cute little bundle of happiness. :smooched: I am from Lula, GA. We are not planning on having any more. So she will most likely be an only child.

    Great topic!

    About to turn 29, no children yet. Let me tell you ladies, baby fever is for real! Hahaha!

    It just worse and worse every year! Anyone else around my age feeling this?

    Haha, baby fever is why I had my first baby at 28. The logical part of me wanted to wait a few more years, but that obnoxious primal urge got the best of me (well, that and my husband kept pressuring me, lol!). Enjoy your child-free years!

    Age 41. Had DS@28, DD@38 both after being told I would never have any. Heavenly Father has a sense of humor with me and I'm hoping I don't add another @48!!!

    I was never that bothered about having a baby, but then I got engaged on my 30th birthday, married 10 months later and couldn't wait to try for a baby! Luckily I got pregnant the first month trying....he's 3 now! Loved him so much I tried for our 2nd when he was 13 months, and she's 17 months now.

    I'm now 35 and would like another, possibly thinking of trying for one next March/April so I'd be 36 by the time s/he was born. Even with 2 kids I feel the baby fever!

    If it gives you any hope, I'm 20 and still have not had one. Don't plan to until mid-to-late 20's, either. And my mum was 30 when she had me.

    I'm 43
    first child age 21

    However, I'm surprised by my classmates from HS...they're all grandparents more than once already and a lot of their grandbabies are a few years old.

    Second - my husband's sisters had their firsts in their 30s

    Then I have some friends and a classmate having their first now (at age 43)
