    I was 26 when my first were born. I got married at 22. I'm from the midwest. I met my husband in college and we get married a year after graduating.
  • I'm 32, never married, and no kids...but maybe someday. I've got family members who got pregnant near/after 40, with healthy kids, so I like to think I have more time.

    i became a mommy for the first time this past march at 29...i wanted to have my first by the time i was 30 :) i made it with time to spare...i think to a certain degree being a super young mom is sensationalized in the US...but to each their own :)

    My 1st was born when I was 23 (1 month before turning 24)
    (Married when I was 22)
  • I married at 21, currently 26 with 0 children. We are thinking maybe in our early 30s which is VERY uncommon here in North Mississippi. Women my age already have 2-3. The few that do not have children don't plan on having them at all. I actually had a complete stranger in a bar tell me last year that I better start having kids NOW or my eggs were going to dry up! Jerk :noway:
    I was 34 when I had my last one, I'm 38 now and my doctor says if I want more to keep on, but my hubby and I think 5 boys is plenty.
