Too young??

hotpinkangel · Sep 29th, 2010, 04:53 AM

Sorry if this sounds like i'm ranting..(ok, maybe i am a bit!!) but in the past 3 weeks i've been showing properly, i've had people saying, is this your first baby? when i tell them it's my third i get horrified looks and, 'you look far too young to have 3 children, how old are you?' and 'you'll have a lot on your plate!' why do these people feel the need to comment? it makes me feel like i've done something wrong

for their information i am nearly 27, not that it matters, and there's no right or wrong age to have a baby is there? or am i too young to have 3 children?? please tell me what you think. xx

Why do people think they can say whatever they like when you're pregnant!?

You're not too young to have three children! It's such a back handed compliment - in that you still look young

but really, what business is it of theirs!? You should be proud of yourself for having a happy growing family and ignore these people and their silly comments.

I think you deserve to rant hun.

I'm 34 and expecting my first and I know I'd feel the same if people told me I'm 'far to old' to be having my first!

There is no right and wrong age to have a baby - it's more about what is right and wrong for you and of course when nature takes it's course

Not that it's anyone elses business anyway but do you look younger than you are? When my nephew was born people used to point and whisper about my sister when she pushed him down the street in his buggy. She was 22 but people assumed she was still at school!

Ignore them though - you have done nothing wrong x

id dread to think what theyd say if they saw me then. Im 21 i had my 1st at 17, my 2nd at 20 and now im pregnant with twins. To be honest i dont care what anyone says, these will be my last babies and hopefully sometime after that i cant still live the life i want to and get the qualifications i need. So no hun i dont think your too young lol xx

There's still some old fashioned people out there, course your not to young and whats it to them anyway? I know its hard but take no notice of them hun, they'd probably say it to an older lady having her first baby

I don't think they are old fashioned, our grandparents had children at young ages. My grandma was 21 with her first. People got married young. They have probably just been brainwashed by the media.

take no notice hun my friend had her 3rd yesterday she is 24, as long as you are happy and the babies are looked after what does age matter ?

You should have replied to that well are you too old to be alive. Now sod off - Sorry having a very ragey day.
you are deff not too young to have 3 children just ignore peoples comments they obviously have nothing better to do.

Thanks girls, Starlight, maybe i look a bit younger but not THAT much!! i find myself saying, this is our last, but why should i? Three children is definately enough for me but i don't want to feel guilty! maybe i'm just super sensitive with these hormones!! we can afford to have 3 children, my two little ones are clean, happy and well fed, and very loved xx
