Age

I'm pregnant with my first at 37. I didn't meet my husband til my late 20s and then we struggled with infertility for over 8 years until we was finally able to do ivf, so we didn't have a choice. I would have loved to have had kids younger but it wasn't possible so I don't let myself get upset by it. Lots of people have children older now, it's very normal. 31 is quite young these days, especially in the UK where I am

@Sam I just have a hard time and I hear people saying it’s selfish the older I get but I was infertile for a long time

40!!!

Don’t let other’s opinions bother you ever. You did what was right for you and had them exactly when you were supposed to. So many people say oh you were so young, ohh too old to start, that is too many kids. Let them feel whatever way if they are in your life and can’t keep the comments like that to themselves they aren’t worth your energy.

@Amber ohhh ignore them saying it's selfish! It's not selfish at all, they don't know what they're talking about. I bet you're an amazing mother 🥰

I didn't have my little boy until I was 35. I wasn't ready before then.

Thank you all so much

@Sam just want to say I hear you! Had my first when I was 37, and felt super old, lol. My husband likes to make jokes, but honestly I just feel like it was the right time, and we wouldn't have our girl if we'd had kids any earlier, she would have been a different kid, and I wouldn't change her for the world. 💜

@Melissa that's so lovely to hear 🥰 i cannot wait to have my baby boy this year, I'll be 38 when he's born in June

I had my first at 42 second at 46. Love them with all your heart and enjoy it. Find a healthy way to get rid of the guilt and love yourself.

Not at all. I’m a much better mom in my 30s than I would be in my 20s- much more wise and much less selfish

If I started earlier, I definitely would have ended up with more kids. Possibly way more kids. Perhaps it was for my own good. 🤣
