Based on friend groups in Virginia and North Carolina, most of my peers started having their first kids between 28 and 38. I had mine at 35.

My husband and I were 26 and we are the youngest we typically come across. Most were closer to 30 or in their 30s.

Here’s an interesting chart I found:

Plenty of information on mums available in Australia, not so much for dads. The average age for first time mums in 2020 was 29.7, with the largest proportion (38%) between 30-34 years old. Anecdotally, I was a first time dad at 34, and my wife at 36.
