Pregnancy Info HOME

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.

Our baby is due in August, and we are 13 years apart. In my family age really doesn't matter at all. I'm 22 my Stu is about to be 35. My dad is 2 years older than Stu. Stu's parents are just into their 60's and they're parents have mostly pa__sed. My Great grandma is still alive and doing great. (Our baby's Great GREAT grandma) My step mom is about 6 years older than I am. (sounds like a high school math problem huh?) Aside from my hormones getting the best of me, Stu and I are great together. Our families are great together. I always joke that when our kid is old enough to say "Your too old, you just don't know what it's like to be my age anymore" I'll say "well, maybe your father, but not me"

MissTessa , LOL. I think the "sounds like a high school math problem" comment was really funny. Before I even got to that line I was doing the math in my head. I just found that amusing. :o)

My husband and I are almost 12 years apart. Our kids think of him as old and me as a teenager. I am 33. Very active and play alot. My husband does too, but he dresses like he just don't care. I think that has alot to do with it. Age does have something to with things, though. There were things that I wanted to do, but he had already done them and didn't want a repeat. That was really, really hard. But I guess that can happen with couples that are the same age. IF you are in love, who cares about years? True love is hard to find. So when you find it, don't sweat the small stuff.

well girl thats nothing i am 24 y/o and my husband is 42 y/o that is a 18 year gap, but we met when i was 18 y/o and he was 36 y/o. i really don't care what anybody thinks i never asked for anyones approval, we are in love been in love. matter fact we just got married 3-11-06 and i am expecting i am 8 weeks pregnant with my first child and his 5th child. we both have good careers and we own a condo. so everybody else can kiss you know what. like the late aaliyah said," age ain't mothing but a number." and it really is.

Hey, my husband is 37 and I am 28. We just had our 8 year anniversary. We have a 7 and a 3 year old and he has a 17 year old son from a previous marriage. It has never been an issue with my kids. I don't see how it could unless you and your spouse had nothing in common because of the gap, and therefore don't get along.

If you where say 13 and you got pregnant by a 25 year old man then I would say maybe so, But seeing as how you are married and both you are adults then it really doesn't make much of a difference the older you get the more it just doesn't matter.. My hubby is almost 6 years older then I.. I know thats not as much as you guys but really we don't see age.

don't worry about it, i am 24 years old and my husband is 43. i am expecting also my first his 5th i am 16 weeks along we are 18 years almost 19 years apart. i am about to be 25 though. don't worry about what people think it's your husband and your baby.

Me and my husband are 10 years apart and have 3 healthy, sweet children together. Good luck

My fiance is 25 I'm 17. Its never affected our son!

your age gaps dont mean anything lol your child doesnt even notice it until its older and asks you your age and stuff

Nah, there's an 8 year age gap between my parents and there's 5 of us. We're all fine mentally. Trust me, in 20 years time, a 9 year age gap won't seem that huge. Have a grea time wth your little girl, she'll only think of you two as her loving parents and will never think twice about the age gap. Take it from a child who's parents are distant in age!

my parent are 15 years apart, I'm fine lol

Why would that affect the child?? My dad was 15 years older than my mom AND he was 50 when i was concerived. I think the fact that he was pretty old was more noticeable than the difference between his & my mom's age. Anyway, it didn't matter to me. Sometimes I felt like he was my dad & grandpa rolled into one. My DP is 11 years older than me. I don't think our kid (due in june, knock wood) will even know what that means.

what about 15-18?

My folks were 10 years difference and I love it! My mum is now 50 and my dad's ploughing into 60! They are totally different personalities and I know who to go to with each predicament - if I want pure sympathy and rea__surance I go to mum, if I want practical advice and an unbiased point of view I go to dad!
