I was 31 when I gave birth to our first baby. Well, I got married when I was 27 but I got pregnant after four years of our marriage. My husband was almost hopeless of having a baby, but we were so blessed to finally made it when I was 31. I really thanked God for giving birth to our first born through normal delivery.
Now I have three children, all girls. My eldest is 20 years old, my middle child is 18, and my youngest is 14 years old. My eldest will be finishing her studies this coming June 2016.
How about you?

What a blessing to have had three beautiful girls!!!! I had my first son when I was 26, by choice. I married just after I graduated college shortly after I turned 22. I wanted to help save for a house and get some more graduate school degrees.

Yes, I think our children are really gifts to us.
I have my first child when I was 30, my second child at 33, and now I am pregnant with my third child. My eldest is 7 years old now.
It's really great to see the children growing up and living well. I am sure you are proud of your daughters. They look very cheerful!

My first kid was at 23 and second at 25. Actually I had planned to have 4 kids, but during my second kid the doc fired me saying I have RHD and cant take risks delivering babies. So my husband got operated and that's the end of my kid stories.
But the two that I have were quite a handful when small. I enrolled them in athletic training so they could use up their energies on the ground and come home tired, Not only did it work at that time, but it also got my son to be National athlete . He has his Olympic selections coming up this April, but he is realistic and says need to train more, to qualify for the 2020. My daughter however is hooked to running and does it for fitness. She could have been like him, but her interests lie in Music and is pursuing a career in that.

Yeah, I know but my title says, "How old are when you had your first baby." I didn't say when you first give birth to your baby. Well, I am a woman so I discussed about me giving birth. And since you are a man then you can discuss about, what is your age when your wife gave birth to your first baby. Anyway, you have a point in there too hahaha. Thanks for dropping by here @Letranknight25

I was married at 19, and had my first child at the tender age of 20 years. I had five children (4 girls and 1 boy) before my 30th birthday. My oldest grandchild was born when I was 43. Now I am 59 and have 8 grandchildren.

Our story is very similar. I was 26 when I married and our first and only child came just before our 4th wedding anniversary. I was 30. Our son is 22 now. Your girls are beautiful.
