I was surprised how many people in my office commented on me having a baby so young. I'm 30 which I didn't think was especially young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871975 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:27:15 +0000 MrsSCB 871975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does my mom count? Haha, she was 42 when she had me and 45 when she had my sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871967 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:25:45 +0000 JessicaMcB 871967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I consider older FTM's to be 40+, and the city we lived in previously was rife with them- I was often made to feel like I was crazy for having a child under 30 which was frustrating. Mommy groups were a nightmare. The town we now live in I've yet to see one older mama with a baby, FTM or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871950 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:20:39 +0000 birdofafeather 871950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i know someone currently pregnant with her first at 39. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871922 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:12:43 +0000 Pepper 871922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the oldest FTM would be 35-36, but I don't really consider that old for having a child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871918 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:11:29 +0000 anbanan15 871918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin, due same day as me, will be 41. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871912 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:10:13 +0000 Lozza 871912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know plenty who had their first in the 37-40 age range, but not many who had their first after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871841 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:52:32 +0000 mrsjazz 871841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's older? Is it "advanced maternal age" at 35? I had LO a couple of weeks before my 34th birthday. </p> <p>I live in NYC, so yes, I know many "older" moms who had their firsts between 37 and 40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871778 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:39:54 +0000 littlek 871778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first LO when I was 33.

I think they are the oldest I know personally, but I don't think that is that old. I'm 32 and most of my friends are my age, so I'm sure there will be more as we get older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871747 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:34:38 +0000 googly-eyes 871747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My in laws were in their early 40s when DH was born, and late 30s when his older brother was born! My grandma was a young mom and an older mom, though not ftm; she had a lot of kids!! I know that I know more but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I know a LOT of young mamas since I'm young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-older-ftms#post-871746 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:34:15 +0000 BlueWolverine 871746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Me too!
