This thread makes me feel much better about being 25 and both not having any kids and feeling like I'm still way too young to think about reproducing.
I'm so terribly awkward at life I'll probably just end up at a sperm bank when I feel old and lonely enough and chuck out some money to get a special test tube kid just to see if it really works. I have brown hair and hazel eyes, I think I could manage to buy a black haired, green eyed genetic slurry son. Always thought it sounded sort of unreal that we can do things like that now
Unless I meet a human being who can well... go easy on me because I have difficulty being human. Yeah.0 -
Place: Sacramento, CA, United States
Age with 1st: 24
Age now: 42
Incredibly lucky I had two of mine young and never foresaw the future pregnancy issues I have had. I also have a 5 year old that we thought we could never have. I was one of the first of my friends to have kids- most of them were in their early to late 30s before they had one. It seems the more educated you are, the longer you wait to have children.0 -

I don't think it's generational, per se. I think it's more regional and cultural.
ETA: I got my divorce out of the way before I had children. 1st marriage at 25, ended at 27. My real marriage happened at age 33...followed by two beautiful baby boys 3 years later.0 -

i recently lost a baby to an ectopic pregnancy, i am 24. i have noticed that a lot of women seem to be young having babies, i am not sure if that is more accepted now. if you are ready then that is fine, it is a shame to see all the young ladies with unwanted pregnancies. still a blessing though.0 -

I am from Alaska. I am 42 now and my baby girl was born when I was a 35 (2 months before i was 36). I did a lot of school and work before I thought about getting married and having kids. If I knew what I do now, I might have tried to start a little earlier -- maybe around 28-30.0

I really am relieved in this thread down here everyone seems to be having kids young and my cousin is a yr younger than me with three. I am one of three out of like 15 grandkids that doesn't have kids. I read these threads and realize everyone else seems to be having them around my age so i don't feel rushed. I am 240

I was 20 when I had my first but now a days it varies there is some having kids at 13 and some having them in their 50's so all it depends on if it accidently happened or if it was planned cuz I can honestly say that I didn't plan on having any until I was in my 30's but it didn't happen that way lol0

My mom was 36 when she had me. I think she made a good decision by waiting until she had her own place, car, and a good job to support us.0

1st was born 3 weeks before I turned 20. (in 2000)
2nd - 22

My grandmother had her kids at about the same age and spacing as I did. I have noticed many times it seems to be a family thing. If a Mom has a daughter early in life the daughter is likely to have a kid early in life. My first was about 4 years earlier or 1 year after many of the girls I knew in school.0 -
