I conceived DD1 at 28, younger than both of our sets of parents were to have number one, actually. I wish we'd started a few years earlier! We met when I was 22, but I had always assumed two kids, so no rush. We were waiting until our 30s and DD1 snuck in.

I had no idea how much we'd both love parenthood and we could have managed more children if we'd started earlier. Although you never know what the future holds.

Also, we are extremely fortunate and fertility isn't an issue for us at this point. I have lots of other friends who did wait and suffered the heartache of infertility and multiple losses in their late 30s. If I had a do-over I wouldn't want to take that chance.
