I was 27 when I had my first baby. It was a girl, and I was SO thrilled that I was finally going to be a Mother! How old were you when you had your first?

Oh what a beautiful baby girl you have! Just look at how bright and alert her eyes are! She is definitely a little angel. Thank you for writing and sharing.

Well, looks like I was younger than all of you before me! I was 19 when I had my first and I was 24 when I had my second. Both boys. They are now 6 and 1.

I never said it was good or bad, I just noticed I was the youngest on there to have a baby.
As it happens, I don't think it really matters too much what age you have children as long as you can look after them.

He wasn't planned but I was in a stable relationship and had been for 2 years. My partner and I were both perfectly capable. I could never say it was a bad thing to have had my children, however old I was.

Yeah, I really am. I am still young enough to have a ton of fun with him, I have more energy, and my hubby and I want to have time when we get older and he is off to college to travel and do things together.

They are all spread apart in age. I am thinking about waiting for our next child so we can spoil our daughter. We want to be able to put her in some real active classes when she's a little older. We'll see. God will decide when the best time is to have a child.

Congratulations!! You had better let us know when you have her, and what you name her. Maybe even share some pictures if you like.

Actually, I never had any that lived, as I had a couple of Miscarriages. I was 22 when I had my first miscarriage, otherwise I would have been 22 when I had my first child. If they would have lived, I would have one almost 20.
