I was my mums youngest she had me at 41yrs also.

I have 5 Grandchildren, 2 Handsome Grandsons, & 3 Beautiful Granddaughters. The oldest 15yrs and the youngest 3yrs.

I was 24 when I had my first daughter, she was 22 when she had her first baby - so I was 46 when I became a granny! I was well chuffed- I'm the(much) youngest of 4 - and I was the first to become a grandparent - and we were well past teenage years (daughter & I) when we had babies!!

I now have 3 grandchildren - and a great niece who calls me 'granny' (my sister is her 'grandma') - and one of my grandsons calls my sister 'grandma' (the other isn't talking yet!). Great niece has a 3 week old brother now, so I may have 3 grandchildren, but am 'granny' to 5!!! :-D

Sorry I have no children but ..........

My Mum married when she was 21, had her first child when she was 24 had her last (me) when she 34. Had her first grandchild when she was 54 and if all goes as it should her first great grandchild is due in March. If it is before the 7 she will be 82, after 83

My mother became a great gran at 72, my gran became a great great gran at 98. Sadly she died at 99, but we have a photo of the five generations, with my eldest grandchild aged 3 months, sat on her lap.

when im out with my grandchildren im always asked if they are mine,people are either being polite or they need glasses.x

Im still waiting too but am happy to wait for them!

I had my eldest at 17, next at 19, next at 20, next at 22 next at 26 and last at 33... I am now 40 and they are gradually getting older.... The only hope is the 20y who is getting married in a years time........ Althoguh maybe I might get a surprise!

I was 21 when I had my first child and 50 when I had our first granddaughters. What overwhelming joy it was. I can honestly say that when I walked into the hospital and saw their parents cradling a tiny baby each in their arms it was the most wonderful moment in the whole of my life and I continue to be overjoyed by their existence. Having lost our own small child to cot death our joy was all the more intense and emotional. It was like being given a grandchild and one little extra one to make up for all our suffering. There really is a God!

I understand what you are saying there Lavender, as my middle child was also a cot death victim. I coped with my next child, a daughter, only with the help of monitors and lots of support.
Now she has a daughter age 14 weeks, and yesterday I had her for the whole day. I cannot tell you how anxious I was - maybe neurotic is a better word. I enjoyed the day though very much, and will be having her one day a week until daughter goes back to work and then more often.
Neither my daughter or my granddaughter could heal the pain of the loss, but they have put joy and love into my life in a way that I never thought possible.
