feeling low about turning 30.

[Rubys mummy]

Oh you old fart, here have a hug

Idreaded turning 30, I was fretting sooo much but do you know what, my life changed at 30...

I was divorced @ 29 and felt lonely and horrid. I tried lonely hearts adverts , met lots of cranks then decided just before my 30th I didnt need a man.

2 weeks after my 30th I met OH and now we have the most beautiful daughter (I fell pregnant @ 34 with our first child) and I have never been happier with myself or my life. Something clicked when I turned 30 and I suddenly feel comfortable in my skin and relaxed about everything.

I have a great job I love, a great OH, a fab house, af the most wonderful little girl in the whole wide world!!!

30's ROCK!!!!

p.s I am fast approaching 40 so dont know if I will feel as positive about hiting that milestone

When I turned 30 I felt really down about it but I git through it ok lol. I'm turning 34 in May which I think is depresing me more.

On my 30th I went out with my friends and got very drunk...we had a great time.

Probably a mixture of emotions especially with having quite a new baby which must make you tired

I'll be 30 in under a year, though not a daunting feeling. My DH is 34 & I look at him & he has more energy & more fashion sense than me & I'm in my 20's! Can't be all that bad

I'm 33 in a few weeks and often wonder how I made it this far

But trust me, you are not alone in dreading the big 3.0.

29 was my worst year because I felt like I hadn't achieved anything I had wanted to achieve by 30. I think thats the issue for a lot of people as 30 seems like a goal post, a "by the time i'm 30 I want to have this/done that" kind of thing.

But its not like that atall!

I am LOVING my 30's! I realise that I am still very young, that I still have 30 odd career years left to achieve what I want to. That I can still do all the things I did in my twenties but I have more money to do it, and im more mature and responsible so I can have a good time without the consequences I found when I was younger and wilder. I am more respected by my peers, wiser and more insightful, and can still pass for 25

30's are where it all happens babe, believe me!

Well, put the numbers in the back of your mind and have a fantastic day. Having your little lad will make it extra special
