How old were you when you had kids?

16... normal in our culture

I felt the same way about still being a kid myself, so I waited until I was 21 before I even had sex for the first time. I tried having a baby with my first husband when I was 23 but it didn't work out (thankfully). Even though she wasn't planned, I was 25 when I had my daughter and I feel like it was the perfect age. I set the age limit to 30 to have another and I'm 32 now so we're done.

I have four children.... gave birth at 17, 24, 29, and 35. If you aren't ready, wait. It's hard when you're younger. More patience definitely in your 30s. At least for me it has been.

I was 31 when I had my first. Most of my friends had them when they were 16-18, or they do not have any yet (either don't want any, haven't found the right person, or have tried and cannot). Whenever it is "right". Kids are with you for life. Sometimes they come when you aren't ready, and others when you've been trying forever. There is never a right/wrong answer to this one.

I'm twenty five now. I didn't plan on having children until I was 25. However because of some health issues I had them earlier. I was 21 with my first and 22 with my youngest. We want one or two more but I plan on being around 27 or 28 with my next.
