fIRST KID

i just had my first child, my daughter, 2 weeks ago and im 20. ill be 21 in feb.

Why are you scared of having another child? I had my first child when I was 24 and that was exactly 20 years ago today! He is 20 today! I now have 4 children. They are such a blessing, I am so happy that I was able to have 4 children. Twins are great! I babysit a set of twins and they are so sweet. Are you worried that you will have another set of twins....4 is a good number.

Hi, vidhyagowri. So, your girls are 3... based on your profile?? Don't be scared, that is a good age difference. Althought, everyone has their own opinion on age differences. I was 38 when my first child was born. I was about your age when we started trying and waited 10 years for our miracle baby.

I had my oldest when I was 22, second at 23 (19 months apart), and my 3rd when I was 26. The only thing I would change was waiting longer for my second, but considering that it took us a while to get pregnant with the first, I figured that the same would be true with the second!! Boy was I wrong!! I consider all 3 of my children to be miracle babies since my ex husband was 95% sterile!! As far as having another baby, now is a good time to try, as the twins will be 5 by the time he or she arrives! At 5, they can be very helpful, and very excited about a new sibling!! Good luck!!

Hi vidhyagowri. I was 22 when I had my first child. He's 38 now. I can't believe how fast they grow up. I have 2 boys and 1 girl all grown up. My "baby" girl is 29. ugh Makes me feel old.

i was only 19 when i had my first daughter she is 4 years old now, but i have no regrets from having a kid so early in my life, it was tha experience that made me tough and i adore her so much, she inspires me a lot and my second was a boy and he is now 1 year old

I was 21 one when I had my first one. I was 24 with my second one and 26 with my third. If your girls are old enough to be asking you for a baby brother or sister they probably don't need your full attention any more. If you think you can handle it I say go for it.

I had my baby when I was 29 years old. Anyway, at least I finished the most important and difficult task before 30 years old:) I love China

I was 25 1/2 when my son was born and 28 when my daughter was born. My daughter had her 4th and last a few days after she turned 25. Her first 2 are 15 mos apart and her last two are 2 years apart. She got started early and her children are practically grown. But my daughter-in-law just had her 2nd at the age of 35, almost 10 years after their 1st one - not really planned that way, since they had wanted a baby long before.

I was 26 when my only child, a daughter was born. I never was lucky enough to have more.

Hi vidhyagowri. My first baby will be born in Feb 2009, if according to the doctor :-) I'm now scared of delivering the child, as i have no experience at all how it will be. I have heard that it will be very hurt. :-( Quite scary for me.

I had just turned 24 when I had my first child. I had also just had my 5 year anniversary six days before his birth. My little one is now 4 and in Pre K. I thought at the time I had him I would one day want more children but have since changed my mind. I am quite content not fitting the image of the "normal" happy American family and having only one child. My son is doing fine on his own and does not really care to or not to have any other siblings. Unless mother nature seese fit to bless me with an unexpected visit from the stork my child rearing days are done.

i was only 28 when i gave birth to my first son and 32 when i gave birth to my second and I think I'm done having a baby.
