I'm in a small town in the south most people I went to school with have 5 to 8 yr olds.(18 to 22yrs old) DS is 6 months. We're also the last to have a child in DH family and both his sisters are younger than me. I'm 28</p> <p> It's so strange how things differ by just a hundred miles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580417 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 10:15:24 +0000 LilSprinkles 2580417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle.

I was 28 with my first, 2 weeks past my 30th birthday with my last. Only one of my closest college friends has a child so far, many aren't even married yet, or just recently are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580365 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 00:01:43 +0000 jill_a55 2580365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess young/average? I had my LOs at 27 &amp; 29. But really to me everyone is pretty young since my step mom just had a baby at 50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580361 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 23:31:44 +0000 kakimochi 2580361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ollllldddd :) 37 with my 1st, 40 with my 2nd. i'd say most of my college friends are similar age with children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580345 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 21:27:36 +0000 Kemma 2580345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smack in the middle all round, first baby at 30, second at 32 (almost 33) and will hopefully have number three at 35ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580339 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 21:15:19 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2580339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Young in IRL and HB - had DS 1 month before my 27th birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580259 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 14:37:11 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2580259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Young!

When in pregnancy did you find out? Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580229 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 12:42:02 +0000 gentlelunette 2580229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess young/middle. I had my DD a couple months before I turned 27. For where I live, this seems to be on the younger side, but it feels pretty normal to me. A lot of people I went to high school/university with are also having babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580211 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 11:58:49 +0000 agold 2580211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love reading all these responses. I'll be having my first at 33 and I still feel way too young! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580158 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 09:20:09 +0000 WinterBee 2580158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm a 'somewhere in the middle mom'. My DH and I are having our first at the end of this year. I'll be 28. We have lots of friends that had their kids in between 21-25 and we have some friends who don't have any kids yet and are our age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580123 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 07:03:28 +0000 dc yoga bee 2580123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In DC I'm a teen mom lol. The average first time mom is 37, and I had LO at 27. My job always teases me I'm a "baby" having babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580115 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 06:27:43 +0000 MrsSRS 2580115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Young on HB, average for where I live. I had babies at 25 and 27. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580067 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 20:51:01 +0000 mfa_lady 2580067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think middle-ish. I had just turned 28 when DD1 was born, and will about to turn 30 when DD2 gets here. </p> <p>I'm totally on the same schedule as most of my coworkers, but most of our friends are still single or just getting married. So, young in our circle of friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580061 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 20:28:22 +0000 Finfan 2580061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of my high school and college friends got master's degrees before having children (as did I). By that standard, I'm a young mom. My first was born when I was 28. She's 4 now and I also have a 8 month old (born when I was 31). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580058 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 20:15:38 +0000 Rocker2014 2580058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Old for HB, average for my group of friends.

Especially feeling it this (third) time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580018 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 18:28:37 +0000 Alba4 2580018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle for real life (had my kids at 33 and 36). I seem to be on the older end of HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2580016 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 18:28:20 +0000 babypugs 2580016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First at 27, will be 30 for my second. I'm young within my friends and co-workers but around my area (south!) I'd say older middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2579989 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:13:50 +0000 chopsuey 2579989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle. Had my first at 31. My 2nd at 32. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2579987 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:02:34 +0000 jhd 2579987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel old IRL! I had LO at 31. I live in a smaller town in the South. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2579923 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 15:10:53 +0000 Amorini 2579923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Old IRL, feel kinda ancient on HB, but right on time for me/us. Well, we would've loved to have avoided IF but we were lucky that it only set us back a year or so. I'm 40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2579915 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:51:56 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2579915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle on HB, younger IRL.</p> <p>I had my first at 27 and second at 29. Having any kids under 30 is considered young around here. Most people I know start trying for kids in their early to mid-30s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-old-mom-a-young-mom-or-somewhere-in-between/page/3#post-2579911 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 14:43:45 +0000 travelgirl1 2579911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very old within my family. About right in DH's. Old for where I grew up. All my uni friends started having kids about a year after I did. I had my first at 32 and my second a week after turning 35. We will likely TTC again soon, a few months after turning 36. </p>
