when did your mom & gma have kids?

i think it's interesting to look at generational differences on this topic too.... :)

my gma got married when she was 23, which was considered an old maid then. she actually inherited my granddad's little boy when they got married (totally unheard of at the time) she had her first kid when she was 24, then had my aunt at 26.

on a totally flip side..my mom accidentally got pg with me when she was 23 and then got married. she had 4 kids by the time she was 28.

i got married at 23....but won't be having kids until i'm 28 or beyond....

Re: when did your mom & gma have kids?

  • My grandmother had her first at 25ish (then had my mom in her late thirties or early 40s...in India I cannot imagine)

    My mom got pregnant for the first time at 29 and had a miscarriage.  My older sister was born at 31 me at 33 and younger sister at 36.

    I don't think we'll be trying for another few years.  We're still in our apartment and it looks like it will be next spring before we get our land division and building permit :sigh: but I'm only 25.  My sister just had her first at 27 and I've been enjoying my niece and considering how fulfilling motherhood will be.  I appreciate our relationship kid free at the moment though.  As you can tell I am very torn haha.

  • my gma got pregnant at 16 and got married before they had the baby (ooooh gma!!)

    my mom was 22 when she got married & 31 when she had my sis and 34 when she had me. they purposely waited so they could travel/work.

    i was 22 when i got married and will wait till about 27 to have babies (hopefully, we'll see!)

    Sixth Anniversary Combo Breaker

    I don't remember for sure how old my grandma was when she had my mom...but I remember thinking that it was "old" for her generation.  I think she was close to 30 before my mom was born. 

    My mom was married at 29 and had my brother when she was 30.  She was 32 when she had me.

    I was married at 29.  Am currently 31 and will be at least 32 before I have a baby.

    5000 Comments Fifth Anniversary

    My grandma was 21 when she had my mom.  (My Mom is the oldest of 4)

    My grandma was 32 when she had my Dad.  (My Dad was the 7th of 8 kids) 

    My Mom was 25 when she had me.  Im the oldest of 3.

    I got married at 26 (29 now).  I hope to get PG sometime this year. 

  • Mom's side:
    My grandma had my mom and aunt (twins!) when she was around 21 or 22, and 15 months later had my uncle. If you're counting, that's three kids under two with no modern conveniences. They didn't even have an indoor bathroom when the kids were born!
    My mom had my sister at 24 (almost 25), and she had me at 29. She also had a miscarriage between those pregnancies.
    I had my first at 22, and will be 23 when the second arrives.
    My sister is 26, and has no kids.

    Dad's side:
    My grandma was married at 15 (I'm pretty sure she was pregnant, but no one has ever told me for sure), had my dad at 16, my uncle at 17, and seven or eight years later had my aunt.
    My dad was 23 when my sis was born and 27 when I was born.

  • This is interesting to me because...

    My mum's mum was 24 when she got married and had my oldest uncle when she was 26. Then my other uncle and mum in the 5 years after that.
