I think my children keep me feeling young.
I'll be 35 next month, and I'm one of the youngest mums at school. However that is not likely to be the case when my 17 month old daughter starts school. ooohh I dont even want to think about that
When I had my 9 year old son I was the youngest on the hospital ward but when I had my daughter I felt really old.
The girl in the bed oppersite me had also just had her 3rd but she was 12 years younger than me!!!!!!!
When i had my son i was 32 and the midwife kept banging on about how old i was and that i should be prepared about having a downs child i was 14 weeks pregnant and all the excitement of having our first child went as we were in shock. She kept shaking her head in silience looking at the results and tutting.So first time round i was treated very different to when i was having my second x
Thats shocking treatment from your midwife.
At a time when its really special too.
I had a lovely midwife when I had my 2 sons then we moved and the midwife I got then with my daughter was a cold fish. There was no raport there at all. But she never said thing like that to me.
I hope it did'nt spoil things for you.
I think after a couple of weeks i got over the shock of the midwife saying what she did but my Husband had to wait til the birth. He seemed quite distant into touching my tummy as though he didn't want to bond with baby. I didn't care either way this was my baby that was inside my tummy and i had bonded very early on. Still everything was fine with both my kids. Just wish sometimes that the older midwives and others wouldn't think just because years ago everyone had kids in there late teens that if you go beyond that age then you shouldn't have kids because your too old.When i was having my daughter i had a lovely midwife aged about 30.x
