I was 23 when I had Harrison. I'll be 24 in December. If I could have chosen though I'd have had Harrison at 20 when we first started trying. But only if I could have Harrison the same

XxX

I've had one at 19, one at 23, one at 30 and one at 31.
I wouldn't change it, there's not really been any difference, it was just less tiring when we were younger, and i didn't put on much weight and sprung back more easily after pregnancy lol

I was 24 when DS1 was conceived & 25 when he was born x

I was 25 when DS2 was conceived & born x

DD1 - I was 21.

DD2 - 23.

Twins - 30.

I wouldn't change anything, I was happy having my 2 older daughters young - when DD1 is 18 in the November I'll be 40 in the December.

I do feel much more relaxed with the twins - not sure if that's cause I'm older or because their babies 3 and 4! x

I'm 20, was 19 when I had Lilly. I like being a young mom. My whole life has pretty much been on hyper speed since I was 16!
I used to never want kids, or I at least wanted to wait until I was 30. Now, I wouldn't change a thing. Me and my husband are happier than we've ever been and we are just absolutely in love with our daughter.

Alexandre- 26
Philippe- 28

I wouldn't have changed it. I liked being under 30 but also living up my party days until 23 without any responsibility except remembering to drunkenly stumble back to the right house at 6am with the same pair of panties on....

I was 17 when I had my first, never stopped me from doing anything in my life got to finish college and go to uni with the help of my family, wouldnt change x

 

[TiffanyBrown]

I was 21 when Lily was born. Although it's been difficult juggling motherhood and my senior year in college, I wouldn't change it. We don't plan on having any more so it's nice to know that inforty years or so, we'll be able to enjoy retirement

Honesty, i never even wanted kids! After taking care of my sisters at 12, and not just watching them, but changing the old cloth diapers with pins, to feeding them to pottytraining, well.. I didn't want anything to do with havin my own kids.

I even told dh the night I met him i didn't want kids nor ever get married! I was 24 when we met, he was only 19! Ok, so I look and act extremely young for my age, and thought he was just gonna be a "fling".

Well, i never expected to fall in love with him,nor expected him to ask me to marry him just 9wks after bein together. So after saying yes and talking our intentions over, i finally decided that if the partying days were done, i'd commit to "settling down" and wanted to start a fam of our own. We got married on our 1 ye ann of meeting, figured that was enough time if either of us changed our minds or the way we felt about each other. We didnt start trying with ds though til after a yr married, so we enjoyed just being married for almost 2 yrs.

We were established in our own apartment, with good jobs, and at 27 i had our first. We wanted 2, but didn't want kids after 30. Just my own personal thing. This lo took 10m ttc but am still 30 and she's here.

I've changed alot since 24, don't think it would of been wise for kids any younger, i was alot more careless and immature. Dh for being younger is alot more mature than me ,lol!

We own our own house now and are alot more responsible than we ever been. Everything happens for a reason, and at the perfect timing. I wouldn't change anything.

I had Ivan 3weeks before my 29th birthday. I'm happy with my decision to wait, I've done the uni thing (more than once) and I'm happy and well established in my career. For me it wasn't just about partying, I've got my designer clothes and fancy restaurants out of my system! I'm now willing to sit around in my pjs covered in baby sick!

 

[Missy86]

23 with Rhys
25 with Liam

I think its a great age to have babies

 

[freedom08]

Ok maybe its just me that has the regets. Had lo when i was 34 she now is 10 months old and i am 35. Wish i had her years ago as i don't think age is on my side. Do/Don't want another one but if we do i want a gap between them maybe 2-3 years that will leave me 39 if i do. Worry about difficult in pregnancy over 35

 

[leahsbabybump]

I was 18, 23 and 24 when mine were bron wouldnt change it for the world i love being a young mummy

 

[bumpbear]

Wow, im surprised by how many young mummy's there are. My circle of friends and family don't start having babies til they are close to thirty generally!

 

[Qqltsmejen]

I had Arielle when I was 20 and Maelee when I was 33.

I wouldn`t change anything but having a baby at 33 was alot easier because i have a great job, I own my home, I have an amazing husband, and lots of help.

At 20 my body bounced back better and it made me grow up faster and learn responsability alot faster than i would of other wise. I always looked younger than my age so most thought Arielle was my little sister instead of my daughter.

 

[Bunnikins]

28. Was just right for me, not too young so have a settled job, my own home, and married.. not too old that i felt pressure to have one before it was too late.

 

[wishuwerehere]

I was 20 and honestly, honestly, honestly if I could go back again and have exactly the same LO maybe 5 years later then yes, i would change it (she was completely unplanned). I wanted to do a PhD and I just can't right now, it was enough of a struggle getting my Bachelors with a baby! It's also affected my relationship with certain people in my life and that makes me a bit sad.
However, don't get me wrong, i love my LO and I love being a mum, I just wasn't in the place I wanted to be career wise when i had her. I will probably have the rest of my kids younger than i thought now and maybe I can pursue a more academic path again when I'm older...

 

[highhopes19]

I was 20 when I had Isabelle. When I found out we were expecting we both had stable good jobs but still lived at home with our parents. The one I would change would of been to be able to bring her back to our own house rather than still be living at home.

Other than that I wouldn't change a thing. I love being a young mum

Xx
