I felt so sorry for one of them her parents wouldn’t have anything to do with her and the only visitor she had was a social worker.
She was there when I arrived and still there when I left 2 days later, I’ve often wondered what happened to her and if she was ok.
The other 3 girls all seemed to have lots of support from family.

I was 29 when I had my first in 1980 and had 'Elderly Primigravida' plastered across my NHS blue card Today I would be considered a spring chicken

My youngest was born when I was 38.

Trust me multi layered families are not always the idyll they seem, I was the middle of a five generation sandwich and it was very very demanding, physically and mentally. X

I was 28 with my first and 34 with my second. I felt like an oap sat in the waiting room for my 20wk scan

I read once that becoming a new parent at 40 is rather like turning up for Wimbledon men’s final with your old wooden tennis racket

I was 23 with my only son.

I was 29 almost 30 with ds1 and 33 almost 34 (10days before) with ds2. They are both in 20’s now but I can’t see me ever being a granny but it’s not something I worry about.
