46 sounds pretty normal. mother has daughter at age 26 and then the daughter has a child age 20. voila gandma at 46.

my own mother was 42 when she became a grandmother.

A bit confused here. The title of the thread says "greatgrandmother" which at 46 is very young indeed.

I remember swoonsome Italian actress Ornella Muti being pictured at 41 with her first grandchild. I think she was my first and only GILF.

I obviously meant GREAT grandmother!!!!

I quantified by talking about my own GREAT grandmother

Perhaps you should go back and edit the op, it is a little confusing.

I guess that each woman would have been an average of 15 and 4 months having their first child. I assume that it is the first child of the first child of the first child. Otherwise it gets incredibly depressing. (Or even more depressing, if you want to look at it that way).

My mum is 45, and I'm 26. So if I'd had a kid at 14 who had a kid at 13, then my mum would be a great-grandmother by 46. It's weird to think that people my age in this part of the world are grandmothers/fathers, when I'm not even planning to have kids for another 5-10 years.

Wonder will they be entering any glamorous granny competions. They'd have the prize in the bag.
