Age when you had your first kid?

[househunter]

Non clicky poll: How old were you when you had your first kid? Did you have any trouble getting pregnant?

I'm almost 27 and I'm not ready by any means for children, but my mother keeps getting on my case about being an "old mother". FWIW, I plan to start trying when I am 29, so not super old by any means!

I will be 30 assuming all goes well and this kid is eventually born, and yes I had trouble.

[malibu]

30.

ETA: I can't honestly say if I had trouble or not. DD was an oops. All we ever used for the 6+ years before she came along was pull n' pray. I have no idea if, when we do decide to try for another, we'll have trouble.

Pregnant at 30 and had him at 31. It was the perfect age for me.

eta: Sorry, didn't see the second part. We didn't chart (well, we charted for one month before I said "fuck this shit"). We tried for 7 months before we got pregnant.  I tried for five months at 34/35 with no success with charting.

I turned 30 three weeks after she was born.
Eta: it took almost two years including two rounds of clomid. But I had no issues conceiving the following kids, just the first.

35. No trouble.

[ginap]

23. She was not planned.

[polka]

27.

[escrow]

31 - she was a surprise so no trouble

[icechalk]

28. No trouble

[Deleted]

I just turned 32. We were hoping to not take too long, maybe 3-5 months but we got pregnant right away. DH was both very happy and a little sad about that!

[urbancowgirl]

33. No trouble.

[Deleted]

30.

[dbsk8dance]

27

[dramallama]

23 when I got pregnant, 23 when he was born. Planned pregnancy. No trouble. It took 3 months which was in the normal range for couples TTC.

25 - 4 days before my 26th birthday!

She was a surprise baby. I wanted to wait until I was 30.

[underwaterrhymes]

38

He was a surprise. We had been charting to avoid.

[SpartanGirl]

28 - no trouble.

[thebreakfastclub]

I got pregnant at almost 36. I did have trouble - we tried for over a year, and I ended up having some tube blockages. Once those were cleared out, I got pregnant almost immediately. I do not feel the pregnancy or delivery was any more challenging than if I had been younger.

25. We got pregnant the first month with identical twins.

[berbles]

[hopecounts]

29, we had to save for IF treatments.

[Deleted]

25. We didn't have trouble.

[deanlicker78]

I turned 21 the month after she was born.

[daisybuchannan]

A month before I turned 28. Took a year and about 5 months of fertility treatments.

I'm happy I started younger bc I didn't expect to have such trouble.

[daisycat]

I will be 42

[game blouses]

29 when he was born, but we started trying when I was 27. I did have problems but they weren't related to my age.

ETA: I'll be 31 when this one is born, and we had no problems getting pregnant with him.

[schitzengiggles]

I was 24 when I had DD1 and 26 when I had DD2...no troubles.
