I had LO at 31. Having #2 a month shy of 33.
Hurmm...
I like that I had my kids when I did because I got to live life for myself for a nice long while.

I do, I had DD at 22 (I turn 23 next week) and am happy that I had her young.

I had just turned 35 when we had Charlie, I think. I don't think I could have had kids much earlier than that, since we were both focused on building our careers at that point!

Yes, 1 week shy of 30 which was my goal to have my first before 30! But I would not have mind if I had her a few years prior either.

Had DS at 22 - I think it was a little early. I might have waited until I was 25-27 if I could change it, but then I wouldn't have my precious Cobi
I liked the idea of being really young when he goes to college, gets married and have grandkids.

I was 26 when she was born (then I turned 27 3 weeks later). I'm glad we are at the financial stage to provide for her, but I wish we could have gotten there sooner.

I had DS at 19 & DD at 26....... I kinda would've liked to be at the end of my having kids season at this point but alas it didn't work out that way & I'm looking at closing the baby making factory closer to 35. =/

I had DS at 19 and think I was WAY to young but I wouldn't change anything. I grew up alot when he was born and he is my little man. I am now married and pregnant with DH's and I's first child together at the age of 23. I think right now is a perfect for us.

Yes! I had DD right after I turned 24 & will have DS @ 25. I do wish I had more people around where I live my age with little ones, but I am glad we decided to have kids now.

I had DS 1 month after my 30th birthday. I would have preferred to have kids earlier, but this is how it worked out and I'm ok with it hoping to have my 2nd before I'm 32 and then we'll probably be done

I had DD at 32 and will wait a couple of years at east before trying for number 2. I'm really happy with the timing, waiting has allowed me to have an absolute blast and made my transition to motherhood easier.

I was 30 when LO was born, and it seemed kind of young to me lol. Your 20's are the easiest time to "do you"; it will never be that easy to focus on yourself. I'm glad I spent my 20's exploring the world without the restrictions children place on you. Now I'm ready to move into a new chapter, without any "I wish I had"s.

I had LO when I was 30. Although I'm glad we waited (for financial reasons), I wouldn't have minded having her a few years earlier.

I always said I wouldn't have children before the age of 30 - the 20s were mine to do whatever I wanted with minimal responsibilities. I'm so glad I adhered to that - I lived abroad for most of my 20s, travelled around the world, and just lived the dream life. DD was born when I was 32 and I wouldn't have it any other way.

38 and 40 were perfect for me! I'm such a more patient person than I was 10 years ago

I turned 25 last month and my first will be born in a couple of months. I'm glad to have started young (I always thought I'd have kids in my 30s). I didn't have a ton of time to just be young/married/childless, but I'm looking forward to being in my early 40s when my kids are graduated and moved out of the house, and I expect we will be better off financially at that point and will finish up our travel dreams and selfish-type spending at that point. I'd rather do it then than in my early 20s when I was broke. Obviously I am just assuming that we'll be rolling in the money by that point, but that's my hope.
