WE ASKED AT WHAT AGE YOU HAD YOUR FIRST CHILD AND GOT SOME WONDERFUL ANSWERS.
HERE ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITES. IT’S FUN TO LEARN WHAT OUR FOFRIENDS DID ‘BACK IN THE DAY’ AND WHAT THEY’RE THINKING AND DOING TODAY.
“I had my daughter at 17, finished school, and worked towards my career. My daughter is now 34 with a masters degree, married and has a beautiful 3-year-old son. See, young parents can be good parents, too ?”
Dawn Barboza-Holden
“I was 26 when I had my first daughter and 27 when I had my second daughter. They are the same age for 8 days out of a year. Why didn’t somebody tell me to just have twins!? The easiest part about having them so close together was potty training them at the same time. The best part of them being born so close together is they’ve always been the best of friends. It was a lot of work, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Kudos to you mamas of multiples. You are amazing!”
Paulette Greyn
“My one and only at 43 after trying many years of failed fertility treatments. Gave up—-surprise! He’s 7-years-olds now, and perfect. I wish I had the energy of a twenty something mom- but that’s okay- we’re doing just fine! ❤️”
Suzanne Molter Bagg
“19, people judged and said too young. Now I’m 51 and those same people say they wish they had their children when they were young. I now have two beautiful grow-up daughters, both living in their own homes, and I have the best of both worlds.❤️❤️ “ Catherine Marie Ruff
“35, loving it though don’t have the energy I did 10 years prior.”
Gillian Prowse

“Twins at age 29 finito” Heather Cook
“Married young (16), had my daughter at 19 and my son at 22. 46 years and 9 grand kids later we have been blessed. We have had a wonderful life, wouldn’t have changed a thing ???” Sue Brown

“My hubby and I married late…neither of us had been married before…that said, I had my first at 39 (I turned 40 10 days later,) my second at 41, and my 3rd at 43! All healthy pregnancies with no complications!”
Kathy Russell Kliewer
“I learned I was pregnant with my daughter on my 37th birthday! Best birthday gift EVER! I’m born in June so I was still 37 when Cassandra was born. She is now 15 and she is my dream girl, miracle child and an exquisite soul. Every moment with her has been true joy!” Cindy Anelante
“20 and never regretted it. Had my second at 23 and then I was finished and we grew up together. Now they treat me like their child. Love them to the moon and beyond” Helena Leavy Rutkowski
“Cheers to ALL of these amazing women and moms! What joy you must have and I thought that I was late with my first at almost 30…you all are blessed…wishing you all of the joy and much love in this world…”
