I'm trying to know the average age when people had their first child. My dad was 40 and my mom was 21. How about you?

My mom was 28 when I was born and my dad was 30. I was my mom's first live birth--she miscarried once when she was about 20, I think (before she met my dad).
And for reference--I was 23 when my oldest was born and my husband had just turned 24.

Dad was 22 and Mum 17 but they were married in 1947, so that was quite normal for that era. In our case, my husband was 29 and I was 25 when our son was born. :)

My mom would have been 22 when she had my brother and 27 when she had me.

My dad was in the military and they traveled a lot. I think my mom didn't want to be changing 2 sets of diapers.

Mine is Abigail in English. There is a character in the Bible of this woman named Abigail who despite the hardships she was to face could maintain the noble life she was to take. Like a saying that the most beautiful flowers of all are ones that grow out of adversity =)
