I will be turning 34 when I have #2, not 33 like I said. The years are slipping away from me! :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/3#post-1810830 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 07:18:59 +0000 ValentineMommy 1810830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: You're not behind!

Hanging out in the recovery room from my D &amp; C and glad to hear I am not "behind." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/3#post-1810539 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:21:03 +0000 SweetiePie 1810539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I turn 33 in early Sept and I'm due mid-late Sept. So I think I'll be 33 for my first :-) But we'll see! Maybe I'll be 32 :-)</p> <p>We may try to have a 2nd very soon after. But that's mostly because it will have to be via IVF w/PGD again and my odds are low. So it could take a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/3#post-1810522 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:12:14 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1810522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 34 when I conceived my son and 37 when I conceived this baby. All of my friends have been over 35 when they had their babies. Sending you :heart: I know it's scary but you are still very young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/3#post-1810521 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:11:57 +0000 Meridian 1810521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 34 and having my first LO in November! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/3#post-1810519 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:10:13 +0000 catlady 1810519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out I was pregnant with DD right after my 32nd bday. I hope to have a second before I'm 36.

If we have a #2 I'll be 36 or VERY close to it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/3#post-1810220 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 16:56:51 +0000 mdf106 1810220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first at 33, and I hope to have a second at 36. From what I can tell, fertility does not decline much until about 38. Among my peers, 33 is not late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/3#post-1809139 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 09:44:27 +0000 snowjewelz 1809139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd just turn 30 when LO 1 comes so you are def not late in any sense!

She is one now and we have just made the decision top put off TTC#2 a little while longer - so I will most likely to be around the 35 mark when we have #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/3#post-1808633 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:31:19 +0000 looch 1808633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was born when I was 35.</p> <p>Frankly, my husband put it best. He said that if you were going to have problems, you would likely have them when you were younger as well. Just because you "turn 30" it doesn't mean that you're no longer fertile.

I definitely want 2, and my age does affect child-spacing concerns. So I'm thinking I'll be close to 36 for #2 if we're lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/3#post-1808514 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 00:02:09 +0000 PurplePeony 1808514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was conceived on or around my 31st birthday. If we decide we want another, we want a couple years between them so we probably wouldn't start TTC #2 until I'm close to 34. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/2#post-1808488 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 23:24:10 +0000 lady grey 1808488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had #1 a week before I turned 34.

I turn 30 in September, so will have just crossed into my fourth decade as I become a parent. Although I thought I'd have at least my first kid a few years earlier (my husband and I have been together for nearly 11 years now), it's worked out this way and I am just feeling lucky now that we're able to have this baby. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-their-first-lo-past-30/page/2#post-1808424 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 22:08:38 +0000 Bluebonnet 1808424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first LO just after my 34th birthday.

I still got lots of comments that I was "too young" to be having a baby, so depending what peanut gallery you want to listen to, you should be in good shape! </p>
