My Mum always says she's a young Nanny, but she was 48 when DD was born and I really don't think it's that young for a grandchild - I'd rather be young!

Mum was just 41. Nana was 39, great nana was not quite 30 (yes, that was not a typo. Not quite 30!)! Great nan became a mum for the second time about two months before she became a grandmother... First kid at 14, second at 29 (same father), first grandson born shortly after that (nan was only 15-16)

Wow I am about to turn 42 and I have a 4 year old and an 11 month old, so absolutely no chance of me being a young grandma. My mum was 58 when my nephew was born and 61 when my first baby was born

Wow! 14!!! And then 15,16 for your gran! Was your mum the first child?

My mum was 56 when my nephew was born. She thought that was too young as she didn't have me until she was 30.
My MIL has just turned 61 so she would have been 54 when DD was born. SHe thought that was too old as she had DH at 22 and he didn't have DD1 until he was 32.
Funnily though my parents act much younger than DH's who have been 'old' forever.

Mum was 47 and dad 46 when my sister had her first child. 7 grandchildren later and both mid 60's

My mum was 39.
We turned 21 and 40 in the same year.
My grandparents became great-grandparents at 65 and 61
And my [great]Nanna would have been a great-great-grandparent at age 83, but she passed 3 years before

Nope mum was ummmm number 8 of 10 (could be 11. My eldest uncle was rumoured to have a twin but that still birth was not discussed). Three of the kids have passed (still birth and SIDS for two daughters before mum, gastro and possible malpractice for mums little sister when she was only 6)
Mum was onl 17 when she fell pg with my big brother. No one could really say anything about teen pregnancy lol
Actually no ine could say much about anything. Great nan eventually married father of her child when she came of age, nan was married and then separated after the girls passed, got together with my grandfather but never divorced (it wasn't the good catholic thing to do) and we found out the day she died that her and grandad were never actually married.

After reading all the posts so far, it seems my folks had to wait forever to become grandparents! Mum was 59 and dad was 72.

Lol, I broke tradition in my family! As far as I know, my mum's mum and my dad's mum were fairly young grandmothers, but my own mum wasn't a grandma until she was 59. It could have been a lot worse as I had my first DS when I was 38, but because my mum had me at 21, it wasn't so bad. Imagine if my mum had me at 38 and I had my DS at 38, she would have been 76! lol. Oh, and I will definitely be a very old grandma haha.
