I was 25 when I had my first. And 28 when the next one is born.
I don't think there is a one-size-fits all rule when it comes to the age of a mom that has Cf. Each circumstance is different.
Theres alot of lifestyle factors that go into it.
I wanted to be done having kid(s) by 30, or my early 30s. But that is more so bc I knew I wanted more than one if possible.
Thats not something a doctor told me, its just what I wanted. I come from a big family and I see the difference between moms that have kids when they are in their 20s and early 30s and their late 30s and early 40s. Being younger has advantages-but when you have Cf, even more so. More energy, more patience. Plus if/when the time comes later on that I am needing more treatment or care more often, the kids will be older and more independent.
I know that so many women are putting children off bc of their career or school, and that is understandable. But my hubby and I decided to flip it around bc that is best for my health. I left a successful career in art plus part time volunteer work to have my children early. When the kids are old enough, if the need arises, I can work on my career then, and get back to more of my volunteering.

I was 23 and 28 - we are done. I don't think any age is too old! Lots of "normal" women postpone having kids till their mid to late 30s - the only difference for us is if our health is stable or not. If your health is stable then only you can decide when you want kids. We did it at the right time for us. Good luck with your journey if this is something you want to pursue. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Well let me first state that I was 44 when I got dxd & had had all my children before that..
That being said i was 23 with my first, 26 w/ my 2nd. 38 w/ my 3rd (different husband) & 41 w/ my last.. I often think, had I know I had cf the last 2 prob wouldn't be here.. I am now 58 soon to be 59 & have also been blessed with 2 grandsons <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Anyway as they say God works in his own way..
Take care <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"> joni
