A.B.
I am 50, I have 3 kids. I had my last one at 44. I am done, I want to be healthy and ready to take care for them and my husband.
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 am 50, I have 3 kids. I had my last one at 44. I am done, I want to be healthy and ready to take care for them and my husband.
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.
I'm 48. I was 26 when I had my one and only, and knew the night she was born that I never wanted another
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!
I was 37 when I had my twins.
I am 54 now.
They are my 6th and 7th kiddos.
I was done after THAT surprise.
I had my husband get a vasectomy at that point!
Now, I wait for 'grandkiddos'.
Best!
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.
I was 19 with my first and 38 with my last.
I'm 41, had my third baby 7 months ago. We had a late start, though, and my oldest is only 5.5.
31 when I had my fourth and last. Now 63 with eight beautiful grandchildren
And another granddaughter on the way.
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.
I'm currently 46, and my son is 5 (so I was 41 when I had my prince).
I was 39 when we had our son.
O. and done!
100% complete and done.
27...I've had 4 and just had my last at 27.
I'm 28 and our first is due within a couple of weeks.
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.
I'm 35. I was 30 when my first was born, 2 months away from 31, and my third was born the day after I turned 35. We want one more, so I hope to be pregnant and deliver #4 when I'm 36.
I was 36 when our son was born.
One and done for us!
I'm 51 now.
I'm 43 this year (in a month) and had Kiddo when I was 36. So glad I waited.:)
(not yearning for another)
I was 35 with my first born, and 38 with my second born. I'm now 39. (Good question! I'm always curious how many other "older moms" are out there.)
I am 32. My younger son was born two days before my thirtieth birthday.
I'm 32. I had my first daughter when I was 28 and my second daughter when I was 30. We would love to have another child. I pray almost every day about that. Just one more. :)
I love this question BTW!
Im 43 and had my son at age 38.
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!!
I was 26 when I had my daughter and 32 when I had my son.I call them my twins born six years apart since you could not tell them apart in pictures. I will be 50 next month.
I'm 38, had my first at 26, my 2nd at 31, and my youngest at 32. I yearn for another baby everyday, but I know we can't have anymore. :-(
I was 32 & 35 when I had my kids. I am now done.. almost 38!
Currently pregnant with #3... I'm 35 or 36 I forget. Whatever I am I'll still be it when the baby arrives. I think I'll always be open to another baby... Not that hubs will ever agree. We'll see.
I am 43 and I was 35 when my younger son was born.
32, three kids, had at age 22, 24 and 27 and we are done, knock on wood :) 99.95% of the time I do not yearn for a baby. My best friend just had one and I had the slightest itch for about a day...only because the baby is adorable and slept the whole time I held her!
I was 31, hubs was 33 when we had our daughter (the last of the clan). We're 35 & 37 now.
I'm due with baby #2 In a week. I'll be turning 37 in a month.
I'm 44. I had my kids at 28, 31 and 33. (Can't believe my baby is 10.5yo and my oldest is taking drivers ed). Where has time gone.
I was 33 when I had my last (just turned), and we are DONE! (I'm 36 now.)
42, nearing 43 now. When my third was born I was 38, working on 39.
Don't really plan on having anymore. If it happens, oh well, we'll deal with it. But certainly don't have any desire to do it on purpose and actively attempt to avoid it.
39 ~ my oldest was born when I was two months shy of 30 and my youngest was born one month shy of my 34th.
Hi,
I just turned 35 and am 9 months pregnant with my third. I know this will be our last.
I am 32 and I had my first baby when I was 24 and my second (and last baby) at 27.
I'm 44 now-had my kids at 31 and 32 and I am done :)
Mommyloveskids - I got that AMA designation too. It was a little rough!
I'm 46 now - I was 4 days past my 35th birthday for my daughter and was 37 for my son. And I knew I was done way before my husband, but he finally came around..
Just turned 36. Had two pregnancies, at 30 and 32. Total of 3 kids. We're definitely done but do get baby fever even though I don't want another actual child! And sometimes I feel like one kid is always the odd man out so another would be nice, but I have my hands full so I get over those issues quickly!
I'm 38. Got married at 23, had our first at 26 and second at 29. I wanted to be done with kids before I was 30. Just my personal goal.
I am 42. I had my last baby when I was 38. :)
I am 31. I was 28 when I had dd & 29 when I had ds. I struggle on a daily basis as to if I am done yet...
I was 29 when I had my third and final baby. I'm 34.
I am 30 next month. Had my son at 27. For the moment, I'm done.
I am 33 years old and I had my daughter at 27 and my son at 24.
I'm 35, had my only at 31. I'm totally done and knew it when my kiddo was 2 months old.
I'm 30. I had my last at 23 and my first at 20.
I had my last at 37. I was (and am) absolutely head-over-heels in love with him, and also absolutely certain that I was done having babies. I have never, not once, felt the desire to have another child. I have two. For me personally, that is enough.
I was 27 when I had my youngest. I am now 30. I'm done having babies. I am open to adoption.
I gave birth to Oliver a month before my 19th birthday. I will be 22 on my due date for this pregnancy.
32 when I had my two and only (twins). When I found out halfway through my pregnancy that I was having twins, I knew right then and there I was all set and haven't had the desire for more kids.
I am 45. I was 34 when I had my last (second) child. I knew when I was pregnant with her that she would be my last so I really savored that pregnancy.
I love babies but I am so done! I've never yearned for another. I'm good!
I have 4 kids. I had my last 2 months before I turned 35. I know I am completely done.
I am 36. I have 3 kids and had my last one in January of 2011. I will not be having anymore.
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! :)
I am 35. I had my 3rd at 32.
I am 38. I was 30 when my youngest was born, 22 when I had my first. I knew for sure that we didn't want more kids of our own after my youngest (he was our 4th child and we just didn't have the space or money for more) but I felt that I wasn't done being pregnant. I was a surrogate at 34 and had twins for another couple. Then I was done being pregnant ;-)
37 now, 35 when I had my third, so done! :)
Had my last baby days before turning 39. Had baby #1 at 34. Not sure I am done but not pregnant:)
