When we have our babies: women share their perspectives on the age to have children

2 min read

Hear from women who had babies at different ages about what they have sacrificed, why they chose to have children at that age, any judgment they received from others, and what some of the joys (and challenges) of having children at different ages have been.

I gave birth to my first child when I was 25, and by 30, I had three little boys running circles around me each hour of the day.

Checking out after food shops, I remember cashiers looking at my overflowing trolley and three rambunctious boys, and asking if they all belonged to me. “Yep, all mine,” I would say with a smile.
