I am surprised by people's experience having babies at 27. I was 30 when I had my first in D.C. and no one thought it was young. And it wasn't. Does 3 years really make a difference?

If you have sex, you sometimes get babies whether you use protection or not.

I was hoping for a midlife baby, but it was not to be.

Sing it sister! I would not give up my advanced degrees, my time overseas or my old boyfriends for anything. When I did settle down I did it right. And I do have plenty of energy to keep up with my kids.

That’s the weirdest thing about this story by far.

Nobody does that in this day and age.

People thought I was young having my first at 27! You’d have thought I was a teenager by their reactions.


Oh pipe down. I had two at 24. I was happily married, educated and a home owner. Some of us mature faster I guess.


Facts are most highly educated people of a certain socioeconomic level are not having their kids by age 24 anymore. It's very regional too. But surely you must know that. So yes, in DC proper and inner ring more expensive suburbs, a woman is young to have a baby at 27. It's not about you. It's called data.


This was 20+ years ago...


My kids are 17-23 (4 of them) and the same was true 20 years ago. I had my first at 27 and was by far the youngest of my peers. With my oldest in particular, I am really always the youngest parent by a good margin.

OP, you realize that there are things you can do to (a) avoid getting pregnant and (b) stop being pregnant, right?

It's stupid slang. You guys sound like idiots with your slang use of past tense.
