I'd always wanted one, but I knew I needed to finish school and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358898 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:05:19 +0000 WALLAROO 358898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year when my cousin had his son. He was so adorable and the only baby that stirred up the baby fever. I was 30-31. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358854 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:50:13 +0000 littlebug 358854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the day we got married, ha ha. I was 31. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358850 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:49:02 +0000 SugarplumsMom 358850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 30! Maybe 31. DH and I just got together. I never really wanted kids before him and I've always known he's always wanted them. Once we had gotten together, I just knew he was the one and it made sense :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358828 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:42:28 +0000 MrsBrewer 358828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Young, probably 21-22. I'm just ready! I'm now 24, and still not financially ready yet though :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358760 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:10:53 +0000 Tidybee 358760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Serious baby fever? July 2010, a few months before our first anniversary so I was 27. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358746 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:58:10 +0000 ladyfingers 358746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 29 or 30. I always supposed I wanted kids but never REALLY wanted them until I was that age. I was also dating DH so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358744 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:57:15 +0000 meredithNYC 358744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @yoursilverlining: @Coco Bee: I am the same as you ladies! Never did feel the clock ticking. When I turned 30 I started thinking that I wouldn't want to miss out on having a baby and figured I had better start trying in case we ran into any issues. It only took one cycle and now LO is 5 months old and I'm a pretty happy new mom, for the most part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358697 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:36:50 +0000 MrsTiz 358697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, young. Like..18 haha</p> <p>@annie624: young mamas are the norm here too. If anyone around here waited until 30 to TTC they would be verrry strange but I guess thats most common elsewhere? Seems to be online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358596 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:02:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 358596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never!!! hahaha... it was DH who convinced me we should TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358595 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:00:55 +0000 tororojo 358595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably age 28, which was our first year of marriage.

Then I went through a phase (mid 20's) where I didn't want any at all. Then last year around Thanksgiving it hit me hard. Babies!!!!!! ha ha So, I was close to 29 (I'll be 30 in Feb). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358525 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:42:12 +0000 Adira 358525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 25.

Right after we got married (May of this year). It was like a switch flipped in my head and I was all BABIES!!!!! I am 28.</p> <p>I know that we are still 12-18 months from TTC though, as I have to finish school and find a job and whatnot...basically we need to be more stable before we can bring a child into our family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358512 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:37:36 +0000 wahine08 358512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started getting the itch after we got married.

We decided to wait until we bought a house, which we did in June, and then we started trying in the beginning of August! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358014 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:07:53 +0000 alayaya 358014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty young, like 23 or 24. I knew we were going to wait until we got married though, so my baby fever didn't ever get serious until just before the wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358004 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:05:17 +0000 Alivoo01 358004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @lydg: in that I always loved babies, but didn't truly get the fever of having my own until about a year ago so 26? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-358002 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:04:55 +0000 annie624 358002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always loved babies, but never really even thought about having one myself until about age 24. And it hit hard. ;) Young mothers are the norm where I live, and I had a coworker tell me at 24 that I was getting behind. Ah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-357991 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:02:15 +0000 matador84 357991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always loved babies but the fever hit around 26-27 when everyone around me was having babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-357985 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:00:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 357985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted a baby eventually, but it got BAD the beginning of this year-- we'd been married over a year, and planned to start trying in the fall of 2012, but once the year ticked over to 2012, it hit hard. I turned 31 right around then.<br /> I think it was a combo of age, everyone around me making babies, and just generally feeling like we had done the stuff we wanted to before kids so what is the point of waiting another 9 months? We waited until our agreed upon date and now I wish we started just a month or two earlier... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-were-you-when-you-first-felt-baby-fever#post-357973 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:56:47 +0000 Andrea 357973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really had it? Just decided to start! </p>
