to have a baby in your circle of friends?
Among my BFFs, I was the first when I had DS at 29. Now two more BFFs have 1 kid each, but I am the first with #2 as well. A few others are waiting to try or still single and have no idea when they'll be ready for kids, if at all.
Among DH's friends, we were one of the last. His BFF had all 3 boys before we were pregnant with DS!

middle because i kept miscarrying while all my friends are super fertile! definitely middle for my husband's friends (who are 3+ years older than me)

One of the first in my circle, in the middle for most of the friends I have in common with my husband.

I was the first, and still the only one. That being said, my two BFFs are gay men.

Middle. We have a few that had a baby or two before us, a ton right around when we had our first, and there are a few just starting to try for their first now.

Last in my husbands circle of friends, first in my circle of friends (we have a large age gap).

First! Two are pregnant now though. Their babies will be exactly one year younger than mine, so in the grand scheme I guess we''re all around the same time. Same thing happened with getting married, all within two years of eachother.

For our local friends, last except for our one close friend that is still single. Almost everyone I regularly hang out with has kids.
Overall though, probably in the middle.

One of the first. A friend had her son a month before I had LO and we were the first out of our group.

First in my circle of friends back home, almost last in DH's circle. Two of my younger sisters had kids before me, so I felt like I was lagging behind in the family.

@Littlebit: Same! 5 year age gap makes a huge difference when it comes to baby making.

@mrsjyw: Same. First in my circle of friends and last in DHs circle.
@LBee: We have a 5 year gap as well

First out of college friends for sure. I got pregnant about 3 months after graduating from college - and had two babies two years after graduation. 
Most of my friends think that is completely weird since they aren't even in long term relationships yet.

Last. I was 33 when he was born and a lot of friends already had 2 at that point.

First, but now my circle has changed and I have met some moms with older kids, so by kids age of my current group of friends I am in the middle,

I have two groups of friends. One is a little older and they started having kids 2 years ago, now 3 of them are going to be having their second this year so we keep joking that we caught up with them on the second round.
The other group celebrated a few weddings last year so we are hoping a few join us soon but I am currently the first pregnant one.

First. I got married first at almost 22 and most friends started getting married a year or two later. I'm due with #2 in August and my BFF is due with her first in September, so it's nice having close friends become parents

First in both circles. Even though my husband is 6 years older than me, his friends seem in no rush to have children.
I'm all aloooone.

Last-ish for high school friends.
Middle-ish for college friends, but we all had our first babies within six months of each other.
My friends now are all mom friends that I've met since DD1. I'm the youngest and first with #2 but one other is expecting #2 and another is TTC #2.

One of the first in both circles. DH is 3 years older, but his friends are just getting married. Mine are starting to get married too (I was 23, almost 24 when I got married, and I had DS at 26. I'll have #2 just before I turn 28). It's funny because SIL's friends all have kids, and she's 15 months younger than DH.

First to get married- last to have babies! I figured I blazed the marriage pathway and I'll have lots of people to go to for advice on babies.

Last among my friends. First among Hubs'. He's older than me but his friends are clinging to their single lives!

@LibbyLou: Me too!! Haha!
We are closer to the back end among most our friends. However, most our friends are between 2-5 years older than us... Adjust for age, and we are having #1 about the same age they all had #1 like 2-3 years ago... Among people we know, in the grand scheme of things, we are closer to middle...

Depends on the circle of friends. First in my "adult single girl friends"; middle if college friends; last of high school friends.
DH is middle of his friends.

First/same time as my bestie, early for our broader circle in general.. though my circle of friends has changed since having kids as others have said
honeydew / 7091 posts
WAY first. I have 2 and am thinking about #3, while none of my friends are even thinking about kids yet 
I have inherited some of DH's friends that have kids, thankfully.

First. I'm glad not to be alone in it anymore. I wasn't young, but being an attorney, most people wait longer than I did.
