How many children do you have currently? We’re blended. 2 of mine prior and 2 of his prior; none together yet.
How many more children do you think you might want? 1 more 🤞🏽
What is holding you back from taking the plunge? Nothing really. We are trying now. It took a while though for us to wrap our minds around it and actually want to try but we have really grown together these past years and now feels right for both of us.
Anything else you’d like to share? I would like to have this baby *not* in a hospital, which would also be a VBAC, if possible!
I have 1 boy right now would like to have another child.
What is holding me back is that it’s just me and my husband. No family to help with babysitting or giving us time to have dates. I loved all stages with my son. Sleep wasn’t a issue. I did it by myself with my husbands help but we also had many many talks about how we don’t get to be husband and wife only mom and dad. So it’s hard knowing if having a second one is the right option. We both had agreed to have another kid but then we think about how we have no one to help us. I use the gyms daycare for when I workout. But no babysitter, no family. Just really hard when I want one
I had my first child at 23. Then life happened and I never thought I would find myself in the position to have another child...until now.
I cannot reach out to blood relatives for more information as I am hard NC (no contact) with certain members and don't want to get others mixed up in it. Even if I could, everyone who has kids in my family had them in their 20's, or not at all. No one else has Fibromyalgia.
I've already started seeing a fertility doctor (only good news so far 🤞 but more results to come). Early 20's and late 30's are vastly different times to be pregnant and I have no idea what to expect, or what more I could or should do to give my baby (or babies) the best possible chance other than what I've already done: stopped all refined sugars, less junk food, more fruits, veges, nuts and protein, gentlier exercise, etc. I swapped my meds out for supplements and am taking an iron-free pregnancy supplement to prepare. I am also seeing a NSA Chiropractor who is helping me manage the worst of my pain symptoms. I am almost pain-free, just achy most days.
I'd love to connect with others, especially those with Fibromyalgia, those who are having babies in their late 30's or have children with a big age gap between babies. Advice is welcome.
How many children do you have currently? I have 2 girls. 17 and 10.
How many more children do you think you might want? 1 more.
What is holding you back from taking the plunge? nothing is holding me back. I have started an IVF cycle since I had a tubal ligation after my second child.
Anything else you’d like to share? Sometimes I get nervous since I know I am considered advanced maternal age, I just keep worrying about any complications that can happen. Trying to keep my mind off of that stuff is hard since I am a natural worrier. Knowing that since I am going to do IVF, I will automatically have to see a high risk MFM specialist. Also…. my pain tolerance I feel has gone down. I get so nervous for all the shots and LABOR!!!

I wish for 4 children but don't know if dreams will come true.

I just took my IUD out, taking folic acid for couple months now and then it's a start.
