Any 21/22 year olds in the uk?

Haydenmummy- aww dear not good that you had a section i had a section with my daughter. hope ur recovery is going well. and i feel really good i really do enjoy being pregnant. but what im always thinking about is whether il get the birth i want this time and whether il get an easy ride with breastfeeding lol i can hope! lol xx
 
LOR- - wow amazing! how are you finding being pregnant and having 2 little ones running around? and anymore for you after this one? i remmeber saying i want to finish all my baby making by 30 but id like to finish by 25 lol.

I'm doing pretty well thanks :) tend to be shattered at the end of the day, as expected!! But we are redecorating at the momeny aswell so there is zero time to think about being tired haha. I *think* this is it now, OH said no more after our second but knowing how desperate I was for a third we went for it :) but I dont think we will go further, if I had unlimited income, time and space then Id love a huge family :) do you want close age gaps then?

Haydensmummy - congrats hun! Forgot you were due already!!! :D
i say exactly that if i had more money and mmore space id have maybe 5. i dont think if i have a 3rd they will be as cllose. probably 2 or 3 yrs gap between them as i need a break!! x what sort of redecorating are you doin x
 
:hi: i'm 22 with 2 kids, my own house and live with partner.

I have a degree also but people still assume I'm thick sometimes since I'm a younger mum.

Haha yeah I had thought about TTC our third a bit later so my daughter would have started school and my son in nursery two days a week, but OH said it was sooner or never (doesnt want a large gap as he figures once we are in our 40s we can live our kid free time) so mine are pretty close.

I've been redecorating our room to be the kids room, all painted now bar some paintings of undersea.creatures now and their new.beds arrived today :D
 
Stevensmummy- hello! And 6 yrs is along time too wow ! how old is your oh xx

Raisinkane- Hello! I guess being from the uk isn’t so relevant when you think about it! So you meet it just fine! Ha also when I said “ Long term” I don’t really know what classifies as long term but I gues just a serious relationship as apposed to just dating, as when me and hubby were dating it was not longterm before we got engaged lol. We were friends for 2 or 3 years. Got together then few days later engaged then 2 months later married then 2 months after that pregnant lol. Were people happy that your expecting? Do mums in America have babys earlier than over here? Because all the mums I see are in there 40s!!

Linzi- your counting down till 21! Gosh I didn’t even wanna think about it when I was turning 21 lol I don’t like getting older lol. How olds ur oh? And how did people react to ur pregnancy xx also I like your quote were did you get it from xx

Tinkerbelle- congrats on being engaged. And weldone for buying a house! Whats it like? And wow 18mponths time that’s far away why so far away? Lol I hate waiting I planned my wedding in 2 months lol . and true the list does go on! Ive noticed most the mummy friends I meet are realy a lot older. But I look old which I don’t like lol . everyone thinks im in my 30s anyway.. so when I say “ its my 22nd birthday next week”.. they think im joking lol ahhwell!

Magicstardust- aww so exciting your gonna start trying!! And its so good that yoru planning it out our babies were planned too and I didn’t tell anyone oapart from y mum that we were ttc and didn’t say anything to anyone apart from my mum that I was pregnant till I was 14 weeks with first and almost 20 weeks with second!. How old is your partner? Are you taking folic acid at the moment? When we were ttc I took folic acid 6 months before we started trying. And then during trying then till 12 weeks x x

Pinkribbon- heyy hun! How old are your kids? And wow 2 kids and a degree when did you fit it all in! that’s so amazing hun what did you study? Im not think either but not smart enough for uni lol I think im more of the commen sence street smart kinda gal lol xx

Lor- your oh has the right idea it will be so cool when your kids are grown up in ur 40s when some people are just starting then!! And aww that’s lovely we are redoing our whole kitchen . well we have done the plans etc and all the work men start January 8th! Which I am excited about our theme is black red and white. So we have some red accent cabinets and black flooring. Black worktops white cabinets too and its gonna look super modern!! We bought this house maybe a year ago I think but it doesn’t seem so homely as we haven’t personilized it at all so this I think wil really make it more of our home.xx


Question to all:

How old are you?
How old is your Oh?
How many kids do you want in total?
Are you working? On Mat leave? A SAHM? - If you are on Matleave how long are you off for?
If your a SAHM mum how long have you been? and do you think you will be a SAHM permintently or till at school etc?
if you are working how are you finding being at work with a baby?
Are your baby/babies at nursery? How many days?


Im 21
Oh 26.
2 or 3.
I was on matleave for a year But i go back to work in january 10th for a month till my next matleave starts. to be honest. I have not missed work one bit and i dont wanna go back :( i thought i would have one the lottery by now haha and not needed to go back! .
Daughters gonna be in nursery 4 days a week Tuesday-Friday 730am-630pm and then saturday i think my mum will have her as i work saturdays. i am nervous about her going to nursery as someone else will be doing stuff with her . other people changing her nappy etc. im not used to not being in control!!
 
How old are you? I'm 22
How old is your Oh? He's 22
How many kids do you want in total? 2 - so i'm done!
Are you working? I'm on maternity leave too but I was part-time.
If you are on Matleave how long are you off for? 9 months to a year I haven't decided yet, I might not go back I might try and find a new job. I don't think I'll start my career until Lucas is about Jake's age though so about 2 or maybe even 3.
if you are working how are you finding being at work with a baby? I'll answer this cause I worked while Jake was a baby before I had Lucas. It's tough the first few shifts cause I worried to death about whether he was happy and settled cause we'd never been apart but I soon learnt he was happy and it was some 'me' time although I wasn't relaxing of that made sense.
Are your baby/babies at nursery? How many days? Jake's at playgroup 2 days a week 9:10am til 11:40am

And to answer your other questions, I have two boys, Jake is a bit over 2 and Lucas is 5 weeks. I fell pregnant after my 1st year of uni during the Xmas break so I did my second year pregnant and handed my last assignment in 3 days before my due date :haha: then I took a gap year and went back after Jake's 1st birthday. I then got pregnant a little into my 3rd year of uni which was hard as I was in the middle of writing my dissertation which was 10,000 words and I had morning sickness. Sometimes I wonder how I even managed it cause I was working part time too ontop of looking after Jake. So I'm kinda proud of myself :haha:

Oh and I worked part time at a supermarket and studied advertising. For all I enjoy media and stuff I wish i'd done something else cause it's the kinda career where hours aren't at all flexible.
 
Hi :D Nice to see some other lovely ladies around my age with kids/pregnant :) I'm 21 and had my first baby six days ago :)

How old are you?
I'm 21 :)
How old is your Oh?
22
How many kids do you want in total? I might stop at this one! We'll see, I'm undecided.
Are you working? On Mat leave? A SAHM? - If you are on Matleave how long are you off for?
Not working, I'm a SAHM for now :)
If your a SAHM mum how long have you been? and do you think you will be a SAHM permintently or till at school etc?
I've only been a mom 6 days lol, but I dropped out of uni when I became pregnant pretty much :blush: I hope to be a stay at home mom until Jamie is in nursery/school, though I might go back to uni before that if I can go part time x
 
Stevensmummy- hello! And 6 yrs is along time too wow ! how old is your oh xx



Tinkerbelle- congrats on being engaged. And weldone for buying a house! Whats it like? And wow 18mponths time that’s far away why so far away? Lol I hate waiting I planned my wedding in 2 months lol . and true the list does go on! Ive noticed most the mummy friends I meet are realy a lot older. But I look old which I don’t like lol . everyone thinks im in my 30s anyway.. so when I say “ its my 22nd birthday next week”.. they think im joking lol ahhwell!


Waiting that long cause we need to save, plus round here you have to book venues quite a long time in advance :( If we could afford it I'd get married tomorrow! Getting a house felt brilliant, although it did mean having to live with my parents for a year with my OH to save up and we had to be so tight and strict with money. And, I am the opposite haha, I look younger than 20, more 16ish. Would prefer to look older because I hate getting 'looks' when I'm out and about with the buggy lol! xx


How old are you? 20 (well nearly!)
How old is your Oh? Nearly 21.
How many kids do you want in total? Definitely another one, then maybe a third.
Are you working? On Mat leave? A SAHM? - If you are on Matleave how long are you off for? I work part-time 3 days a week at Mcdonalds :( Although I am applying for other jobs. I worked full-time whilst pregnant, had paid leave then returned to part-time when LO was 9 months. I am also halfway through an Open University degree in English Literature.
If your a SAHM mum how long have you been? and do you think you will be a SAHM permintently or till at school etc? I was a SAHM for 9 months during my mat leave, always intended to return to work (although only doing part-time. I like the extra money and the variation it gives me in life.
if you are working how are you finding being at work with a baby? Well I only do three shifts a week so I find it great. It's easy once your baby is in a bit of a routine and I look forward to doing something a bit different, as well as having lots of people my age to talk to. I also think it's good for Oliver to have a bit of time away from me and spend it with his daddy or my mum.
Are your baby/babies at nursery? How many days? Nope, not currently. I usually schedule shifts when my OH is off work so he can look after him, or if not my mum will happily do the odd bit of babysitting and refuses to take payment. I would love for LO to go to nursery a day a week next year so I can crack on with studying. I think it'd be nice for him to interact with lots of other babies every week, as well as all the different activities they do there.

xx

Thanks :) Planning is so exciting! we've each told our close family and they're pretty supportive! I think we'll tell them pretty soon after i get pregnant so they can support us if anything goes wrong as well. I've told one close friend who is really supportive but not sure that the rest of my friends will understand - i know a few would think their lives were over if they had a baby and think everyone else must feel the same :dohh: i've just finished my last pill packet today and started taking folic acid today!!
i'm 21, my other half is 29. we want 2 or 3 kids.
I'm at uni right now, my course finishes in April which is when we plan to start TTC. I'm planning to take two academic years off to be a SAHM, and then i'll go back and train to be a primary school teacher! :)
 
:hi:, I'm Charlie and pregnant with my first but me and OH are young in comparison to many:

How old are you? 21 but with be 22 when LO arrives
How old is your Oh? 21
How many kids do you want in total? I wanted 2 but OH has always wanted 3 so think we're just going to wait and see
Are you working? On Mat leave? A SAHM? - If you are on Matleave how long are you off for? I'm currently working full time - work doesn't know that I'm pregnant yet either. Not sure how much maternity leave I will take tbh :shrug:
If your a SAHM mum how long have you been? and do you think you will be a SAHM permanently or till at school etc? :nope:, haven't got my LO yet!!
If you are working how are you finding being at work with a baby? :nope:, no baby yet
Are your baby/babies at nursery? How many days? :nope:, no baby to send to nursery yet but I think I would like my LO to go for at least an afternoon or two for the socialising

We're both very excited about the pregnancy, it was planned as we own our house, both work and felt that we wanted to be young parents so decided there's no time like the present!!!
:flower:

ooh how is the open uni going? how long is the course? i was thinking of trying to do open uni but then i remembered when i wanted to do a course after college coz i didnt complete it it was those home courses and i didnt even do it. but who knows maybe i can now im motivated. but im also easily distracted.. id love to be a psycologist or something similer. and thats true it is nice for the kids to interact with the other kids! and so nice that ur oh ad mum look after oh the problem with my oh job is his shifts change every week so with nursery you have to pick set days and if i choose not to bring lo in when oh is off work you still have to pay anyway! x

:flower:

your so right there really is no time like the present! i am really suprised about the people who have bought there own house by our age.we bought our house when i was 20 when we bought this house. and noeone i know is even renting . so its nice to see x and when do u think ul tell work xx
 
Hi i'm Mana, i'm a bit younger than the age you've asked for but I feel I fit here as i'm in a committed happy relationship, and I see myself as "starting a family" rather than simply "having a baby" if that makes sense? :) I hope that's ok

How old are you? - 19
How old is your Oh? - 22
How many kids do you want in total? - i'm thinking 4 would be s good number, but I suppose it depends on finances...
Are you working? On Mat leave? A SAHM? - If you are on Matleave how long are you off for? - i'm working atm, I start maternity leave in January, but I don't really intend to go back. I want to be a full time mummy :)
If your a SAHM mum how long have you been? and do you think you will be a SAHM permintently or till at school etc? - I hope to be in the future, but I might get a job once all my future children are at school, I'd like to work at a primary school, I enjoyed volunteering in one :)
 
Hey MANA! Obcourse thats okay! thinkign about it i shoudlnt have chosen that spesific age. as its more about the family unit vibe than the age itself xx im 24 weeks so were pretty close! what made you decide to go on matleave so early? i went on matleave early with my daughter due to spd but i wish i didnt! lol this time round i am taking all my holiday and if i have spd bad again il just go off sick then take matleave as last minute as i can. and also if you get enhanced matleave from your employer you have to go back for a certian amount of time or yu have to pay it back xx
