How old are you?

I know I'm being nosy, and feel free not to tell, but how old are you all? It seems to me we have quite a range of life experiences here, and I was wondering how old some of you are. Yes, you can be shy and tell us in a range (25-30 or 30+ or something like that)

I'll 'fess up first: I'm 24.

28 - 29 this July

I'm 20 and the youngest at hannah's creche. I've actually found that once you have a kid that age doesn't seem to matter! Even the older mothers seem to treat me as if I'm one of the 'parent club'

(by the way - LOVE the parent club. Made a million new motherly friends in parent's rooms all over the country!)

I turned 21 at the beginning of March. Had the best 21st party thanks to my grandma looking after Alex so I didn't need to worry too much about him :-)

I turned 27 this Jan.

My mum says I waited to long to have a baby....she had me when she was 19. I think it is a good age??!!

no kerryberry that makes me grandma - 36 in may, oh my gosh thats next month.

Im 26 turning 27 september. I always said I wanted to be a young mum but now I feel so old.

Just turned 24. I was 21 when I got pregnant with Maya,and I was the youngest person at my antenatal classes, which freaked me out coz I didn't feel that young. And I'm still the youngest mum at Playcentre but the other mum's are really down to earth. I am in kind of a different league tho, they're all married with the 2.5 kids and the mortgage, and when I started there I was this 22 year old unemployed single Mum.
I never pictured that this is where I would be at this stage in my life, Mum was 27 when I was born and I thought that is a good age to start having kids, but fate (and dodgy contraceptive use had other plans. But I am pleased with how things turned out, and even tho it's been really tough, I think having Maya has been the making of me as a person, and I have opened a lot of different doors careerwise too just from the sheer instinct to get out there and provide for my child.

Hey Emma, just worked out your step-daughter is 12???? So, you started looking after her when you were barely out of teens?????? WOW!! My hat is of to you....well, it would be if I was wearing a hat!

I know what you mean Emma, being a young single mum does make you stronger and more focused. I guess it's cause there's noone else to do it for you! I'd just turned 20 the month before I found out I was pregnant with Kiya... and I found out at 18-20 weeks! I wouldn't change things though... I've grown so much as a person since becoming a mum.
