I am only 24 and right now, I can't wait to be 30. It seems like such a fabulous age.
-
No different than hitting any other age for me. But it was extra special to have my baby girl to celebrate with.
-
Well, truthfully I felt a little bit of panic, biological clock wise. I knew I had plenty of time, but still, it was one of those big "checking in" times to determine what I wanted/how soon/etc. I ended up getting pregnant about 3 months after my 30th birthday. I do have to say I feel more "settled" about things now.
-
You know, I felt really good. I think I've always felt 30 - it was like finally catching up with myself!
-
Just another birthday . . . you truly are as young as you feel. FWIW, I feel waaaay more confident in my 30s that I ever would have imagined I could feel when in my 20s.
-
I felt great! I was in love and happy with work!
-
I felt Awesome with a capital A! I had a great party. I had a great boyfriend (soon to be fiance, now husband). Life was great.
about to be 35 this year and feel like a frumpy mom. UGH!
-
30 wasn't a huge milestone for me, I finally felt comfortable in my own skin around age 27.
As I get older, it's def. been different. Not better or worse, but as I work harder, I can play harder!
-
I felt okay on my actual birthday and some days I still feel pretty young. Other days, I feel like I'm behind on my life. I just got married and we're not TTC yet while some people I know are having their second or third child and have been married for a while.
-
No different to 29! I found 25 really hard for some reason... maybe I considered that to be "old"! Once I was over that, every age has been fine!
-
Ugh, I'm turning 30 this year and I am not happy about it. I don't know why it makes me so depressed, but it does. I really want to have an awesome get-away with friends to celebrate, though, so hopefully that happens at least.
-
I turn 29 soon, and I'm already sort of dreading hitting the big 3-0. My husband is quite a bit younger than me (24), so it makes it even harder to think about. But then again, it doesn't seem like such a huge deal because I still feel young. Who knows how I'll feel the day of....
-
I am turning 30 in a few months, and I am OK with it. I am happy with where I am in my life.
-
I was a little blah about it. DH and I had been together about 9 months so while I knew we would get married but I was still depressing to be 30 and not engaged or married. Of course my biological clock was ticking as well. I will say DH threw me a surprise party with my friends so it turned out great!
-
I turn 30 in August this year... !! Not sure it's hit me yet, I'm just excited for the trip DH is planning for it!
-
I'm turning 30 a month from Thursday and I've planned a tropical vacation to celebrate. I sometimes get panicky that I'm not pregnant yet at 30, but at least that means I can drink my weight in margaritas on the beach next month!
-
I'm terrified of it (this year)--mostly because I'm not where I want to be in my life. I'm sure it has more to do with that than the actual age.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I loved 30. 31 was hard for me for some reason. I actually blocked it out and thought I was turning 31 again this year. I like the 30's so far though. Feels more settled (in a good way). More sure of myself and what I'm doing.
-
I was excited for 30. I was tired of my 20's, felt like I went through all of that. I was ready for 30. I didn't conceive LO until I was 31, so I felt super ready for parenthood, babies, etc. I'm a little nervous for 35 because I want another LO before I reach that age. I'm 33 right now.
-
Dreaded it. I hate getting older. Now I'm 32 and the years just keep passing! Ah!
-
Turning 30 was fine, I was totally cool with it and felt great. Turning 32, however, hit me like a ton of bricks. Partly due to the struggles of TTC and partly due to the fact that meant I was sort of the mid-way point to 35. Now I'm 33 and I'm fine with my age, just not the TTC part.
-
It felt great. I was in a good place and the years have only gotten better since then.
-
I was thrilled to hit 30. I wasn't married (not even engaged) but I knew it was coming, so I knew that my 30s were going to hold big, exciting things for me! I was over my 20s and all the drama they held. Funnily enough, 26 was the worst birthday for me because to me it meant I was on the "downhill slide" to 30. But then I ended up relishing turning 30!
-
I really liked turning 30. My 20's weren't that great - I spent a lot of time single, overweight and unhappy. In my late 20's I had finally lost all the weight, met DH, gotten married and by the time I turned 30 had a job that paid well that I really enjoyed, dressed a lot better and had so many more friends. So yeah, I couldn't complain about turnign 30
-
It felt the same as any other birthday, but DH put together a bug celebration, so it made it feel really special.
-
I just turnedd 29. But my 30th will be a good Birthday. DD was born on my Birthday so on my 30th she will be turning one. I think it will be a great year. No different than this year really.
-
I felt great. In that year before the big 3-0, i got married, bought a house, and ran a marathon. I was more aware of my ticking biological clock though.
-
No different for me! I just turned 30 this March, and DS was born at the end of Feb so I barely remembered my own birthday.
-
I am 32 and am loving every minute of being in my thirties! I am more confident and self assured. I know what I need and want which is such a great feeling. Way different than when I was in my early twenties. You couldn't pay me to go back lol
-
30 was GREAT for me! It was turning 32 that was hard...
-
@meredithNYC: I felt exactly the same! AND also got BFP 3 months later, lol. I love being 30 now, better than I did being 20 at any rate.
-
I felt sad but moved past it after a day of moping and what were surely psychosomatic minor medical issues. I am not very good with birthdays.
-
It was very mixed for me. I was single, no boyfriend, no dates, nothing. I threw myself a HUGE blowout with 40+ friends, bought a fabulous new dress and shoes, and celebrated in style, but I was really not feeling so secure with where my life was at that point. Looking back, if I had known I was going to meet my DH 9 months later and be married and pregnant by my 35th birthday, it would have helped a bit, but I'm not going to lie and say it wasn't hard.
Everyone told me how much better your 30s are than your 20s and on that point, I have to agree
-
@evenstar982: My husband still jokes with me that I "tricked" him into getting pregnant so soon. Basically I told him that I wanted to start trying a little earlier than planned because I worried about not being able to conceive easily and then I got pregnant on the first try - hahaha! Ah, well, it worked out nicely in the end.
-
@JoJoGirl: I didn't meet my DH until I was 31 . . .
-
@MsLipGloss: I was 3 months shy of 31 - amazing how 'old' i felt
-
I plan on being 29 forever so I don't ever want to know the answer to this! lol!
-
@prettylizy: I don't ever plan on turning 40 . . . I will gladly *hold* at 31(ish) for as long as I can (I am older than that now . . . obvi!). Then I will *graduate* to 35 . . . and so on.
-
Like @meredithNYC: @evenstar982: at 29 all I could hear was tick tick tick.
I never would have guessed that I would be in the hospital on my 30th holding my newborn son. -
I loved my 20s but really love my 30s (I just turned 34). There were so many ups and downs in my 20s (dating was fun but exhausting)...turning 26 was super hard for me for some reason but 30 was just like any other birthday
