Pregnancy Info HOME

I doubt it will. My own parents are 10 years about, and I never even think twice about the age gap between them. So long as you and your husband take care of your little girl it doesn't matter what age your husband is. Ignore the comments, to a child it makes no difference how old mommy or daddy is as long as they provide. Congrats on your baby girl, too.

What do they say will be the problem? It will be normal to your child. I doubt she'll even give it a second thought.

Well if that's a big age gap, then I guess my sweetie and I have a huge age gap. I have a seven yo son from a previous relationship, and we are now expecting our first child together in December. I'm 29 and he is 47.

Oh yes....one more thing. I know it's been said before but age is simply a number. If you're both healthy, and happy and can give your baby a good life and proper care, that's what really matters. Good luck.

Kalinka, I'm sure that the person who gave you this information was not a Dr. or if he/she is a Dr., find another Dr. quick. It should not make a difference biologically speaking, just because of the 9 year gap or even if there was 20 year gap, don'tt worry about the 9 years difference. Maybe the comment was about your husband's energy level because he's older than you. . . but he's still very young so that wouldn't make sense either. Do yourself a favor and stop taking advice from whoever is making such comments. I'm sorry to tell you this, but they don't sound very smart. But you are smart to ask other women on this website.

Hi Kalinka. There is a 17 year gap between my husband and I - 9 is nothing :) As for the gap affecting the child - rubbish.

NOT AT ALL MY BOYFRIEND IS 27 AND I AM 19 WHICH IS AN 8 YR GAP AND WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO HAVE OUR LITTLE ONE @ THE MOMENT SO AS LONG AS YOU BABY AND DADDY ARE ALL HAPPY THATS ALL YOU NEED

I am 18 years old and my husband is 30. He will be 31 in June, I will be 19 in October. We have been together for almost 4 years. Age is nothing but a number, my mom and dad absolutely love him to death, he drastically changed me, I see nothing wrong with an age gap and I dont think it will affect the child.

No not at all lol age gap your child will not even now what that is till they are older and it is seen very commenly this days, my parents are a couple of years apart as well

me and mine are 8 years apart and people say things to me all the time. i think people only say it because youre young. i am also 20 so i know how you feel!!

Don't worry about it.

My parents are 14 years apart and I had a fantastic childhood. Now I'm 30 and it has never, ever affected me at all over the years! Don't give it a second thought! :)

my parents are 10 years apart and i haven't been affected at all. now me and my hubby are 7 years apart and expecting a little girl in September.

Hi there is a little over 10 years difference between me and my Hubby. I was 19, he was 29 when we fell pregnant the first time, at the time we got a lot of stick for the age gap and people often commented on him being too old for me. We put up with it and it did eventually stop. Now we are having our third child. I am 25 and he is 35. He has said now that he feels this is our last as he is beginning to feel older. Our age gap hasn't affected to 2 we already have and I am glad I had them at 19 and 22.

WELL I DON'T THINK THAT AGE MATTERS BECAUSE HUSBAND AND I ARE 10 YEARS A PART.HE IS 28 AND I'AM 18.WE ARE EVERY HAPPY THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR SECOND CHILD.YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT'S YOUR LIFE AND IF THINGS ARE GOOD BETWEEN YOU AND YOU MAN THAT GOOD.THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY, WHAT ABOUT IF YOU HAD MARRIED A GUY YOU AGE AND HE WOULDN'T CARE FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN.THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD THANK GOD FOR GIVING YOU A GOOD MAN THAT LOVES YOU FOR WHO ARE..

My husband and i are 10 1/2 years apart. we got married 2 year ago when i was 19 and he was 29. I dont think that it will effect our child except for the fact that it will be hard to lecture her when she come home with an older guy!! Haha its all about love, and i dont care what anyone says about age, in the end its only a number. The thing that i love about me and my husband its so funny we will driving down the road and a 80's song will come on and hes like "o wow remember this song??" and im like "noo...it came out before i was born!!" We have a 16 month old daughter and i am 18 weeks pregnant with my second child.
