Age of your parents when you were born

My mum was 19 - I was also a surprise!! She had irregular periods before me but went on to have 2 further surprise babies and no other issues.

I'm 32 and hubby is 42. Sometimes I feel like we've left it too late and he won't enjoy being an older dad but this thread makes me realise there's a lot more "older" dads out there than I thought! I guess I only think of when people have there first child and not when they have the last one - there's a bit difference in some cases!
 
Such an interesting thread. its almost like its went full circle, a lot of people my age (27) were getting pregnant at 18-21, my mum (and dad) were 33 when she had me and 37 when she had my brother. She said both times she had no problem at all and age was never a worry back then, she says we are all obsessed with being ticking fertility timebombs these days, probably accurate! However she also had regular as clockwork periods, she decided to have a baby and knew she was pregnant as soon as AF didn't show that day, she never even took tests. I am the total opposite and also have only recently found out her sister conceived my twin cousins through IVF so if there's any kind of pattern in my family I don't know what it is, and my dad was one of 17!
