Father 39, Mother 38. Officially I was the 2nd of two children (but I am skeptical).
My Live birth certificate said there was two deliveries prior to my birth. My sister says one prior to her birth. I know Mom had a miscarriage, but that doesn’t count as delivery, does it?
I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one born to young parents. My Mom was 19, my father was 18. I am an only child (well, I have a half-sister on my father’s side, but… long story.)
It could’ve been a stillbirth, or death shortly after birth. My mother had two sets of twins, but one set was born very prematurely and didn’t make it. My mother didn’t count them among her children if someone asked how many kids she had, but they were born and died and mourned.
23 years (approximately - Mom’s birthday’s 3 weeks before mine, Dad’s 3 weeks after - yes, I am EXACTLY equidistant between them). First born. Didn’t come around until they’d been married for about 4 years.
Mom was less than a month past her 18th birthday, Dad just over a month past his 23rd. I was the first of six born, five surviving (the one lived for just a day).
