How old were you when you had your first child?

[Andaiz]

My first at 31y2m; 2nd at 33y1m; 3rd at 34y8m...

each one's gestation period got shorter and shorter...38w; 35w5d and 35w (last one with all that jab and NICU because of size, nothing else)....think that's it for us!

I had my first child when I was 40 - had no problem conceiving then. Pregnancy was an absolute breeze - no cravings, no morning sickness. Doctor asked if I wanted to do an amniocentesis but heard there is a risk of miscarriage so decided against it. I was blessed with a perfectly healthy boy. After that though, I had a few miscarriages.


Pros of being an older mum? I am more patient, more tolerant and take things in my stride.

Cons - No energy! As an older mum, I can’t enjoy too many sporting activities with him - except cycling. I’m drained sometimes…

For me, an ideal age would be 30 and below.

I had my first when I was 24 yrs old. No.2 at 25....just as draining seriously...actually, I think older is better cos u're more patient...


I'm so tired...I fell 100

This question is specifically targeted at all mummies. With advanced medical science, will you want to be a mother again after age 40? Why and why not?

Anyone has tried any good fertility doctor to recommend??

Hi Insider

Congrats to your friend! She can try Dr Chan Kong Hon of Gleneagles. He specialises in Infertility. Though I didn't have fertility problem I still went to him because he is a very reputable gynae.
