Hi
I had my first Josh at 17, he's now nearly 14yrs and had mc at 20, got pg straight away the following month and had my daughter Jaimee who's now nearly 11yrs and just found out recently that i'm having my 3rd, due July 09! Bit of a gap! Im now nearly 32! And i still get ID sometimes!

My kids love having a younger Mum! We have such a good relationship. They feel that they can come to me and tell me anything, We can have a laugh together and their friends are always saying you're mum's really cool! (nice compliments!).

My children are looking forward to me having another baby, especially my daughter who will be 11 at the time. Nicki

I am 23 and TTC my first, I just wanted to say that my Mum was 19 when they had my brother then 21 when I was born. We had an amazing childhood, it was so much fun and have some amazing memories and I think it's directly because they were so young. Ignore the looks, people can judge you but they have no idea who you are or even how old you are so sod em! I was a nanny for 3 children under 4 when I was 21 so you can imagine the looks I got, I felt like being really rude but at the end of the day the children were well looked after, polite and happy and thats more than a lot, age means nothing, maturity means everything!!

I miscarried an unplanned pregnancy when I was 18 and I always wanted kids but not as early as I finally did when I fell pregnant again at 19, I had really bad food poisoning and my pill didn't work. My daughter was a tough bub though and I had her at 20. I looked way younger than I was and that made it hard. I now have Emily 5 and a half and Elijah 4 and we are trying for another one. I think its a good thing as I am 26 now and I can get all my babies out of the way before 30 and then get on with things. My miscarriage really did a mind job on me and I didn't finish College but I have been offered to do a course in councelling next year which will be great.

I was 20 when fell pregnant with my first daughter, had her at 21!
23 for my 2nd
34 for 3rd
35 for 4th
38 for 5th

I can see things from both sides. I had more energy in my 20's but I did not have much patience. I was envious of friends going out and having a social life while I struggled for babysitters etc. .. We did not have too much money either so there were things I could not get like baby monitors or nice prams/moses baskets etc..
In my 30's I am not as energetic but I have so much more patience. We are also very finacially secure and I can get (within reason) nice things for the kids.
Like anything they both have their pros and cons. However, age, money etc.. count for nothing. Its how you bring them up and most importantly that you love them with all your heart that counts!

hi there.
i was 22yr when i had my oldest son, 24yr when i had my daughter and had my youngest son at 26yr. I never thought that i was that young a mum but peoples perceptions are all very different! I looked young for my age then (and luckily i still do-not easy with three under 5's!!) so maybe that played a part, i also worked in a night club til i was 7months pregnant which meant lots of funny looks.
I think its funny how others react tho-can remember being in a shop struggling wi the pram trying to get out the door but the shop assisatnt wouldnt help-just stood staring, it was a very chavvy, but polite teenage boy that actually helped!
Anyway its not your age that makes you a good or a bad mum. And it is really hard not to care what people think but so as we all know that we are doing the job properly, then stuff them!Smile
