How Old Are You? - Cherryville,MO

Updated on September 19, 2013
S.J. asks from Cherryville, MO
60 answers

And how old were you when you had your last (or only) baby?

I am just curious! I am always thinking like the other S. (S. O) about whether I will ever not yearn for another baby....

So I am just curious to know how old you are now, and how old you were when you gave birth to your most recent (or if you are currently preggers!)

I'm 43. I had my 3 kids at 35, 37 and 39. I sort of wanted more for a couple of years after my third was born and wished I had started younger, but now I feel satisfied and hope to adopt or maybe acquire some step kids one day.

45, had my third and last right after I turned 31. I was pretty sure I was done but I often had yearnings and doubts for about 10 years.
But having teenagers made me KNOW I was done, they are the best form of birth control!

almost 55, had dd at almost 45 (surprise pregnancy despite all the doom and gloom statistics about getting pregnant at an older age)
I tried to get pregnant younger, but couldn't....I guess I just needed a little age on my side

I wanted another, after I had her, but knew it probably wouldn't happen....as it turns out, I'm glad I only have one. She's everything to me, but I don't think I could do it again.

answers from Seattle on

I'm 52, will be 53 this December.
I was 41.3 when my last was born.
I never understood the 'empty nest' syndrome, but I have definitely been sad over the 'empty breast' scenario. I loved nursing my babies.
I was sad we started so late having children, and wish we would have conceived earlier, as I would have loved at least one more. But now, I'm so achy and tired most days, probably best another baby did not happen, although I'm still fertile and have not gone through menopause.

answers from Cincinnati on

Had my last at 33. And yes I am done. I knew it right after he was born. I have all I can handle!
While I miss snuggling a baby, and watching all the milestones, I am also enjoying sleeping through the night (most of the time) no diapers, being able to leave them for a few hours w/ out so much worry etc.
I think as moms we'll always miss having a baby around. Just natural I think.

answers from Columbus on

I'm now 54 - I was 35 when I had my son and 38 when I had my daughter. I knew I was finished because I wanted one of each and that's exactly what God gave me! Because of my age, if I hadn't had one of each, I really don't know that I would have had any more.

I've always wanted more babies but I didn't want any more children!! I absolutely loved loved loved being pregnant and then taking care of the babies, nursing, etc. I just don't think I could handle raising more children. I guess that's why God created Grandparents!! lol!!

Also, a consideration for us was financial. We are by no means rich but knew we would be comfortable with just the two children; any more and I'm not sure what we would have done. Although, with all the lay-offs, etc., we've had to endure, we're surviving!!

Good luck!!

Hi Mama!
I just turned 35 in August. I had my first (daughter) when I had just turned 22. I had my second (son) when I was 24 and then we had our third (daughter) when I was 28. I am SO glad I had then when I was younger because I am out of the diaper stage and out of the packing everything but the kitchen sink when we go somewhere! :)
