there's me :) i had ozzy at 31 too - no accident but definitely a surprise! i wanted kids way earlier, at about 25, but it took me while to meet the right man and then it took me a while for him to be ready:rolleyes: i'm so glad to have my darling boys but part of me wishes i had done it years ago. then i might have the energy to have another 1 or 2!

I am 30 :D I never really felt ready before I guess...was at Uni then working then travelling - even when 1st married thought we'd wait for 5 or so years...as I still wanted to develop my career and we wanted to save...but then we moved back to Oz and I don't know my hormones went wild and I was pregnant within 2 months!! It jsut felt right I guess...:D

Hi all

I am 30 I turning 31 in sept
I think we just wanted our time and I'm glad we did because when it happen I think we were as ready as we would ever be
I feel for us we have lost that selfishness that we had before not the being selfish is bad I just always wanted to give all I could to my children.
Plus I wanted to be able to stay at home

So there are a few of us here, I'm not really up with the postcodes of Perth but it looks as if most of you are SOR or close to?

yup - Orelia - was renting in Belmont but just bought & moved down here...
We actually looked to buy Clarkson/Merriwa (my 1st choice) but prices were just shooting the roof of our budget...we made a couple of offers and the propertys went for way above asking price...so we decided on down here...we got a much nicer house than we could have got for the same amount up there...:smiliedance:

Hey all,

I am 36 and have 2 boys, a 9 year old and a 1 year old (plus a 22 year old stepson). I had my 9 year old with my ex hubby but kicked him out when my boy was 8 months old, his priorities completely differed to mine on what was important. Well done, Lynda, you got huuuuuge bonus.

I have now remarried (my best friend of 25 years) and we had planned a big wedding when we discovered I was pregnant. Thank god he was happy about it!! We are currently trying for a little girl to make our family complete.

All the best,

Anita :wave:

I'm a 30+++ mum to be. I was told I had a 5% chance of becoming a mum and that would be with medical help. Well my little miracle is on her way without medical assistance.

I live in Fremantle would love to make contact with other mums.

Hi, how are we 30+ mmums in Perth going? Has anyone starting putting their heaters/fires on yet?

I'm 34 now. I didn't have children any earlier because I was never that maternal. Then one day I heard the clock (tick tick TICK TICK). At first I thought it was just a phase, so I went travelling and changed jobs and started new hobbies and did more study, only to realise that waht I really wanted was have a baby.

Best decision ever!

ozzysmum - you aren't that far from me. When you get settled and are ready, drop me a line and we'll have coffee if you want. :)

Thanks tash I'd love to :) it'll be tea for me though - i quit coffee when i got pregnant and am still BF and the last thing my little guy needs is caffiene in his system! I can't wait to be a real grown up again and have a big yummy coffee :D

Hiya, I'm 31 and had my first at 22, second at 27 and next one should be along soon (get a move on!).
This is it now though, 3 is enough for me!

BTW On the subject of fires, we're using the wood burner and have been waiting ages for the plumber to install our new gas heater... it's flued and no-one seems to know how to fit it! :banghead: We have one coming Monday/Tuesday :fingerscrossed: that's if he doesn't vanish like the others did!

I love being a mum & I LOVE my beautiful baby girl!

Tuls will be my one & only bubs. A decision we are both happy with :D

Hi my names Lynda and I ws just wondering how many of us 30+ mums are in Perth.

I became a first time mum when I was 31, not by choice but defantly by accident and the best thing that's ever happened to me. :smiliedance:

My boy is now 2 :yelclap:

I was told I could Never have kids and I found out I was pregnant at 7mths and I became a single mum right from the start.

When did you first become a mum and why at that age?

I am 30 with my first child. I wanted to respond to you as you were single before giving birth as was I. I left the father while I was 3 months pregnant. He has never seen his daughter, she is now 4 months old. I had not had a child until now due to medical complications involving Endometriosis and Polysystic Ovarium Syndrome with 5 miscarriages. She is a miracle and I am completely happy.

Hello,

I am over 30 too and have a six month old baby girl. Just moved to Perth two weeks ago. My first time in Australia too! I would love to meet up with other mums. Anyone interested? I am NOR and I have the luxury of being a stay at home mum!

Women are just wonderful:yelclap:

Not to degrade our mothers or grandmothers etc.. but I'm so glad a lot of women are not setling to just get married and have kids by the age of 18 these days. I'm not saying that's wrong if someone chooses to marry and have kids by 18 that's fine. But to read and hear that women these days want to study, have a career and be an equal is great.

To the ladies like me who didn't have a choice about waiting so long, because of medical reasons, I know I am glad I had my DS later in life, I was able to finish my apprenticeship and do a little travelling, so all is good. For those women who started young and are still going a big Well Done, your tops in my book.

It doesn't matter what age we start or finish giving life to a child to the most amazing thing us as women can do. :thumbsup:

just goes to show how much things have changed hey! I think its great for those mums that work and raise a family, and even more so all you single mummies out there, what a great example you are to your kids :yelclap:

I am "old school" where I want to stay home and be there for my kids when they get home, and if they are sick and need to come home.. When Little Miss is about 8, then I will think about working. I have thought about night fill too, just to get out there and earn a few dollars, but I dont trust DH to get the kids fed and to bed on time just yet.

I seen in the kids school newsletter asking for volunteers to help with mums with depression and twins for at least 5 hours a week, and I am thinking of perhaps doing that, helping out there.

Wow Mel, you are just amazing, you want to volunteer to help someone else when you have 6 kids of your own. Well Done it sounds like a great thing to volunteer for women in need of some help.
If you do have the time go for it, maybe this could be astart in social work when the kids are old enough.

This is for you :yelclap: :smiliedance: :yelclap: :smiliedance:

I would only be able to help mostly in school hours though, I think thats why it was advertised in a school newsletter. I would have DD with me of course, but mum has said she can already watch her in the day time if needed.
