Babies and Your Age
How old are you?
Do you currently have kids? (If yes, how old were you when they were born?)
At what age will you TTC?
Re: Babies and Your Age
29 since Monday!
Nope.
Right now I'm thinking I'll start TTC at 31.
Lucy Elizabeth 10.27.12
26
Nope.
I have no clue. DH is 29 - and he already has the itch, he doesn't want to be an "old dad". I on the other hand want a house, and would prefer to travel with out baby for a little bit.
25.
No kids.
I don't know! I grew up with "young" parents (they are not 50 yet!) and saw so many benefits to that. We were so close to all 4 of our grandparents as they were still young and vibrant when we were born. There are negatives too, but this was always my "normal" and I always thought I wanted to be on the baby train by 25. DH's parents were married at 20 and waited until 30 to have him, so 30 is his "normal". I have the itch, though practically want to wait until our careers/finances are even more stable. All that to say, I'd like to be TTC around 28.
I am 23, DH 24
Nope
We are hopefully going to start TTC this Fall. Both sets of our parents are getting up there in age (55+) and we want our kids to be able to know and spend time with them.
I was 27 (3 weeks shy of 28) when I had my daughter.
I was 29 when I had my son.
I am thinking we won't have any more babies so not TTC.
26
No kids yet.
DH is just under a year older than me. We both have older parents (currently 64-67), and we both want to be fairly young parents, so we are thinking we'll have our first kid before I am 30 (plus this is also a smart thing to do to reduce breast cancer risk, and I have a strong family history of it). So I think we might start TTC when I am 28 and he is 29.
Oopsies! Duplicate post.
I'm 29 and DH is 30. We're going to start TTC within the next year because we want to have 2 or 3 and I'm hoping we won't need outside help, but who knows what will happen!
Both of our parents were young parents. His had him when they were teenagers, my mom was 30 when she had me, but I'm the baby. She had my oldest brother at 19. He in turn had his first at 21, making my mom a 40 y/o grandma and me a 10 y/o aunt! DH's parents have been pushing us to have babies for years (even without being married) because that is their norm.
My Bio (wedding pics added 7/6)
My 101
1) I'm 24
2) No kids.
3) 28. At that point I'll be done with nursing school and hopefully will have been working at least 1 year.
I'm currently 26 and DH is 27. I don't think we will ever try until at least 30 (assuming we want to try at all, this is still up in the air for us)
How old are you? 28
Do you currently have kids? (If yes, how old were you when they were born?) No
At what age will you TTC? Now. We're expecting difficulty due to my past fibroid/myomectomy & possibly from my Hashimoto's disease. I have an appt with my reproductive endo tomorrow to see how I'm doing with fibroid regrowth and scar tissue from my surgery.
I'll be 26 in 2 weeks
No kids
Maybe in a year or so... we're not in a huge rush. We definately want to buy a house first, and travel a little more
We're both 28 right now.
No
We started TTC at the beginning of March of this year, found out we were expecting last week and I'm due in Feb 2011. I'll be 29 and DH will turn 29 mid-March. We want to have 2-3 kiddos and be done before I'm 35.
My parents were really young when they had me (24 and barely 21) and were done having kids by 28 and 24. It was great because they are still so young and now get to enjoy their time together to travel and have fun but it was also tough on them becuase they didnt have much money and hadn't had a chance to do much. DH's parents were in their 30's and now they are in the 60's and they don't have much energy and don't do as much. I'm much closer to my grandparents (because they are younger and not in nursing homes) than he is. I also knew all but one of my great grandma's and he never met any of his. When I was young, I thought I wanted to have all my kids before I was 30 but then I decided I wanted to experience a bit more first and finish college/grad school etc.

I'm 26, he's 31 -- we'll be 27/32 this summer.
No babies yet.
Not TTC. We're still in the "selfish phase" and the idea of adding a kid to that is just NOT appealing right now. We want to just be us -- buy a house, travel, enjoy one another. We do like the idea of a family, and we can see ourselves being parents, but probably not for a few years (maybe three to five?).
How old are you? 29, will be 30 in Sept (my husband will be 37 this year)
Do you currently have kids? Nope
At what age will you TTC? My standard answer to this question is "Never", but I'm actually reconsidering that. I've never really wanted children and the thought of pregnancy makes me sick, but I'm thinking of standing in the "maybe" line now. Ugh, I just don't know.
hyr - baby/health dust to you!
I am 28, DH is 32
Amelia is 6 weeks old as of yesterday! Wow, time flies!
I don't know if we are going to have another. I think DH wants one more because he would like to try for a boy but between the morning sickness, PUPPS and HELPP syndromes, plus general aches and discomforts, it was a miserable pregnancy and I'm not sure I want to go through it again. I've heard conflicting info that if you have a preemie you are more likely to have another preemie and the past 6 weeks have been physically and emotionally draining. And that's only if we are lucky enough to have a healthy baby....
I'm 27 - Alex is 31
Spawnless
In a perfect world, I think we'd wait another 3-4 years, but both of our dads are older (mine is 75, his 77) and don't have grandchildren, so there is a lot of pressure. We've been together 10 years so we feel very settled and it is the next logical step, but it is just so, so expensive to have/raise children here we cannot be impractical. All that being said, I have debilitating baby rabies. F being practical. I want one now. ::stomps foot::
I survived the RoLex wedding and all I got was this lousy husband.

Im 23, David is 28
No kiddos for us yet
We are planning on atleast being pregnant by the time he is 30.. which he just turned 28, 3 months ago. It isnt necessarily determined by age.. we are trying to sell our house.. once we are in a new house it would be happily welcomed or before for that matter... just not trying until later.
Thanks!
I am 21. J is 28.
No babies for us!
I don't know when we will have children. I want to wait 5 to 8 years, but DH wanted them yesterday. In reality it doesn't have anything to do with how many years, though. It will be when I finish school. I am already pretty settled into my career. I have plenty of room to move upward if I ever get my degree. So, when I finish school we will reevaluate.

hyr-baby dust to you. Hope your appointment goes well!
35-eek! (I'm the old lady of the group
Yes-34. Ayden was born 33 days before my birthday
Already did...we plan to have one more since I was an only child and feel a sibling is important. At my 6 week appointment, asked my dr. about TTC #2 and she said the optimal time to wait between babies to get everything back to normal is 9 months to a year, so we'll try again in January.

~All AL'ers welcome~
We are both 24, turning 25 later this year.
We don't currently have kids
We plan on TTC at 27. We have a bunch of savings goals including a 6 month e-fund, car fund, house fund, and a baby fund. We also want to take one more really big vacation and do a Mediterranean Cruise. If all our savings goals go according to plan we will have the money to do this in the Summer of 2012 and start TTC after.

I'm 30, DH turned 35 yesterday
No
Not sure. We want to move. We may have just adopted a cat (it followed DH home, and we've had it for 9 days with no responses to ads) and we already have a big dog. I just lost my position at work, DH wants to quit his job... so now is not an ideal time :P
I'm 27 and M is 28
No Babies!
I don't think I want them at all. As of right now, I just like being able to do whatever I want whenever I want. We have lots of neices and nephews so I'm okay with being an auntie. We don't plan on thinking about kids for another few years...we'll see if I'm singing a different tune.
I am 26. He'll be 28 tomorrow.
We are without spawn.
Right now I don't want any kids. There has never been a second in my life where I said "I want to be a mom" or anything like that. I generally don't even like kids. I wish I did, but I just can't do it. I hope someday that all changes and I want them. H wants them, but I've never hid the fact that I don't so he's either okay with the possibility of never having any, or really believes I am going to change my mind someday. In that case, if I am 35+ and still don't want any, I probably won't ever have them.
23. Birthday is in September.
No.

PG!
I actually wish, theoretically, that I had been a bit younger when I started, just to be a younger mom. But at the same time, practically, I fell I'm not prepared now, so I don't see how speeding up the timeline would have helped too much.

This was me, pretty much until I turned 27. Of course, that was also the age when my husband and I got serious. I can't explain it, other than just one day I wanted them and that was it.
