I was 21 years old when I gave birth to my first child. It was traumatic experience because I think I was not that prepared for that. My younger sister gave birth when she was 17, I could not imagine how hard it is for her. Do you think a more mature age will have something to do with lessening your giving birth?So how old are you when you had your first baby?As for the boys, how old are you when you got a partner pregnant?And for those who have no kids yet, when do you plan to start making little you?

Oh you were 10 years younger than I was when I gave birth to my one and only son. I married at the age of 29 and it took me a year before I conceived so I delivered my first and only child when I was already 31 years old and it was by ceasarian. It was a very painful experience. After the delivery I mean. When the anasthesia have already lost its effect and I woke up feeling the pain of the wound. Oh my goodness! I was terrible! It traumatized me that on that very day I told myself, I would not want to deliver a baby again. Maybe God heard my cry and He really did not allow me to get pregnant again. I had 2 miscarriages after that.

Oh I have all my babies delivered normal. I was very young when I decided I want to have my own family. And now only 26 and with 3 boys, but I am very happy with them.

I was 15 when I got pregnant and 16 when my first child was born, 21 when my second, 22 when my third and 24 when my 4th was born. I kinda knew what to expect with my 1st but not really. With my second, third and 4th I knew what to expect and was more scared then with the first.
