avg age for having bebes
what's the avg age for having babies where you're from?
Re: avg age for having bebes
my hometown: honestly, a lot of girls got pg in high school or right after. most girls who don't get out of town don't go to college or only go for a year at the jr. college and then have babies. for those of us who got out of that town, we're all still mostly childless.
in bham: i consider bham to be more 'professional' in that women are college educated, seek out their careers first and then go into mommyhood. honestly, most of the people i work with/know in town start having kids in their 30s. it makes me feel better about waiting later
Around here in podunk, it seems like all of the pregnant ones are teenagers.
In my hometown, I know of 2 or 3 girls that were pregnant during/right out of HS, and I would say maybe 60% of my graduating class had families by mid to late 20's. Some of my classmates are like me and just starting now. It's weird to me when I reunite on FB with a HS friend and they have a 19 or 20 yr old kid.
I wasn't able to take care of myself in my late teens/early 20's, much less a baby.
I really, honestly couldn't tell you. I just have no idea.
Within my group of friends, though...most of my college friends and a lot of my high school friends were married right out of college (at 21/22). Most of them started having kids within a couple years. Of my close group of friends, the oldest child will be 9 this fall. A lot of my friends are on child #4 or #5 by now.
Needless to say, that doesn't do much to make me feel better about not having a baby.

I think it is very mixed here also. Sure there are pg girls in the local high schools, there are pg girls at the university, there are pg girls in their mid-late 20s and there are pg girls in their 30s and 40s. I meet a lot of new moms at a support group at my hospital and we are really all ages.
I often if myself being one of the youngest moms (at 26) in many groups of moms such in moms group and in Luke's school.
