How Old??

17 yrs old, 19 yrs old, then 24 yrs old

you are not old--my mom had me when she was 35 and that was 28 years ago and science has really progressed since then

i was 22 with my first and 26 with 2nd

First one at 31, second one at 34.:happy:

I had my first baby at 32, my second at 34, my third at 36, and my fourth at 42. I was in better shape for the last one and it was my easiest pregnancy.

It's slowed up here at work...had a few min's and was just wondering...how old were you ladies when you had your first baby?

I'm 34, have had miscarriages, trying to lose the weight for health reasons and to attempt a healthy pregnancy since there seems to be nothing wrong with anyone's "machinery"...i'm just starting to get this feeling that baby wise....I'm OLD!!!! I have friends my age who's children are in high school!!!!!!!!

I'm 29 and no kids yet....although I haven't been trying, I am worried that by the time I get engaged, get married and then start trying....well let's just say I feel your pain somewhat. I also worry about "what if I have problems getting pregnant". I guess we cannot worry about the what-if's, just live in the moment. Think of it this way, it's better to have a baby now that you're more mature, probably more financially secure and will be in better health for your baby than had it just happaned unexpectedly when you were younger.

I sometimes feels pangs of envy for my cousin who is two years younger than me and has a six year old and has been married for just as long....but then I realize that she may be envious of me. Up until this year I lived alone, could come and go as I pleased, eat cereal for dinner and not to dishes or laundry for days on end if I didn't want to....appreciate the good things you have now, because despite how badly you want a baby, I am sure you'll miss some of the freedom you have now. Good luck!

I was 20 when I had Skylier, I am now 27, 28 in August and hubby and I are gonna try for #2

I had my first at 16 and my second at 25. Your not too old, just get healthy and stay fit and you will have plenty of energy to keep up with them!
I don't think my mom had me until she was the age I am now and i already have a 12 year old! She was always very active with us and had tons of energy, coaching all of our sports teams and hauling us back and forth to all of our events. I still think she's super woman but who doesn't think that about their mom!! lol :happy:

Well I don't have kids yet, but I plan on having 2 kids about a year and a half apart and i want to have my first on at age 23.

Had my first at 24 and second at 27. My goal was to be done by the time I was 30, so I guess I made it! Wouldn't have minded a third one, but hubby was done and after a couple of years with my youngest, I decided 2 was just right :laugh:

I was 16 (this teenage mom did not quit High School Graduated with class) when I had my first and 23 when I had my second.

26 and I want more!
It sure aint gonna happen at this rate.:ohwell:

I was 20 when I had my first baby and 32 when I had my second.

I was 32 when I had my son.

I was also 255 at my first pre-natal appointment! I was very overweight but I had a healthy pregnancy anyway. I was still active and healthy in how I ate, etc. Yes, it is generally better to start out at a healthier weight but it's not completely impossible to be heavy and have a healthy pregnancy too.

It's amazing, we are planning to start trying for baby #2 around Sept/Oct....it will be interesting to see how different it is to be pregnant having lost so much weight now!
