Too old

mariamcman

44 - I'm thinking I should just pack it in.  Even if I did get pregnant now, it would be like a freight train.

Nonsense! There's quite a few of us "older" mom's here and if you feel good and are healthy and want this, go for it!

I'm 43 with a toddler, so far I'm just fine.

Oh, I hope if you really want a child, you dont.  

My mom had me at 21 and my siblings at 30 and 35.  There is such a difference with the mom she was to each of us... 

I dont care what nature says about it, older parents are just better.  We are more patient, have lived life and had experiences to know what we want and what we dont want.  we are more secure in our careers, life paths,  financially stable and have the wisdom to know that life is capable of anything. 

im not saying that a young parent cant be a successful parent, but take that same parent and give them another kid 10 yrs later and they will be even better..

just think of your age as a few extra years of setting yourself up for success!

I'm 41 and expecting.  We also plan one more soon after this one.  As long as your healthy and in good shape why not?
