    22 and 24, its a personal thing, for me I wanted to have them young because I felt ready, been with my husband for a long time and just felt like it was right. But you just need to wait until it feels right for you!

    22 years old with my first, and 26 with my youngest. There are positives and negatives to both sides of the older parent vs. younger parent argument. Do what's best for you and your hubby! Best of luck to you!

    My first one was in 1970, and i was 19. Back in those days (the sixties) you married after high school (parents would not let me to go college, that was just for boys, they said). It was too quick a marriage, and i divorced 12 years later. My second one I was 26. I had 13 foster kids at different times over the years. I am raising (adopted) my grandson, who is now 10. If i could do it differently, looking back, i definately would have.

    I just had my first child, I just turned 43 in Feb. He was born in Sept 2011. Healthy and perfect. I am glad I waited until I was actually settled down and got EVERYTHING out of my system.
