How Old Were you When you had Your 1st Child?

Kirstenmumof3 wrote: I was just curious, since we have such a diverse group of people. I was 20 when I had my first child and 28 when I had my last. I look back and wonder would I have been a better parent if I had waited?

Calimama replied: Bella was born 3 days after my 19th birthday. I dont feel I'm any less a parent than a 30 yr old.

CantWait replied: I had my first at 18, then almost 8 years later had Anthony. In some ways I'm better (my patience for example), however I don't have as much energy.

A&A'smommy replied: I had been 18 for 9 days

Crystalina replied: I was 28 when I had Izabella and 30 when I had Evan. We started trying when we first got married, when I was 18. It wasn't until 28 until it happend though and I'm glad it happend that way. We are financially and mentally stable now.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: all three of mine were born in the 20-25 category. I was 21 when I had Katy 22 with Matt and had just turned 25 before Johnny was born.

Celestrina replied: I was 33 when Ben was born. We had been trying for almost 1 1/2 years and I had given up the idea that I would get pregnant. That day I had a good cry. That night Ben was conceived.

Calimama replied:
Aww that made me cry.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I was 24 when we had Andrew, so in the 20-25 category. I wanted to have kids earlier than that, but Dh wanted to wait. Now he kind of wishes we hadn't waited.

Swood75 replied: I was 24 with Kameron, and 27 with Kyleigh and will hopefully be only 32 if I am lucky enough to get PG again.. (btw,I am 31 now..will be 32 in April) We aren't officailly trying yet but I have just about managed to talk my DH into 1 more..(*Fingers crossed*)
