HI again, I started this thread so wont repeat myself. I’m now 38.5 and 6 weeks pregnant with my 5th child. Hope to have more…

I think it was Krisha who said she wasnt having anymore because she cant afford it in India. I wish you could all move to Australia…you could afford plenty…we get $5000 foe every child we have, then $600 per child every July, and in response to the current financial crisis the government are handing us in December an extra $1000 per child. I really feel for those that aren’t so fortunate because of where you were born. When I had my first and decided I wanted a large family we didnt get anything back then. (13 years ago). No big lumps sums, just the usual fortnightly Family payment most people here with kids get. We are very blessed here (which isnt fair).

I was 37 and my wife was 34. Believe it or not, in a few days time we will have been seeing each other for 20 years and married for 4 years. It took us a long time to go down the kid path, and even when we got pregnant we still weren’t 100% sure it was what we wanted. Now the little one is here, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Many people ask us if we wished we had of done it sooner, but this was the right time. We are settled in our jobs and home life and can give the little one what we want. :slight_smile:

I was 34. That worried me a bit as, as with most people I was worried that something would go wrong. During the delivery I kept blacking out and it felt like I was just floating above everyone. Nothing was wrong, but because of that I’m reluctant to go through it all again. It was such a strange feeling. Now that Koen is here, I feel being a bit older works for me. I seem to let things not bother me as much, don’t worry about the little things I can’t change or the mess. For me, if I was younger I don’t think I would be as easy going. Everyone tells me how relaxed I am with him and I think that comes from being older. Only problem is that I feel like I’m going to be the old mum in the playground or at the school yard. But as I said earlier, can’t do anything about that, so move on and forget about it :slight_smile:

I’m 23 now, and I was 21 when my son was born. I certainly wasn’t expecting to have a child that early, but we had a lot more than the normal 21 year old has (good, steady jobs, advanced degrees, and a home).

I always said I wouldn’t have my first child until 27, but I’m glad God had other plans for my life.

33

I was 25

I was 27, I had everything planned out. Had a nice job, house, car. I was all set.
