I just realised that I got a bit of this yesterday at the hospital (if anyone wants more, I had a bit of a rant on the April 16th-30th due date thread)...

Just before we left, the midwife looked at me and asked how old I was. I replied "twenty three" and she looked a bit relieved and said "Oh, well, at least you're not really a young mum then, you're a bit more knowledgable"

Hmmm... Okay, a couple thoughts (both good and bad...) that ran through my head:

1. So because I'm 23 I know more than a younger mum would? If I didn't have the internet and my drive to know everything, I'd be stuffed! I look at some of the girls here that are younger than me and have kids and I feel intimidated!
2. Please, oh please say that again so my dad can hear it when I tell him I'm pregnant!
3. I'm half sick of people thinking I'm younger than I am, and half never want it to end...
