AIBU to think that 35 is too old...

[teeththief]

...have another baby?

[sharonthewaspandthewineywall]

If you are thinking for yourself then YANBU however if you are thinking for others yabu

[TheWomanTheyCallJayne]

Yes yabu
Unless it's you you're talking about and you feel too old

[Only1scoop]

I had my dd at 37. Wish I'd have started a family slightly earlier. 35 is not even considered old mum these days.

[milkysmum]

Gosh no I dont think so- I know plenty of women having children in mid to late 30's

[Midori1999]

I don't think it is. I've had two babies since 35. If you think it's too old for you though, that's fine, don't have any after that.

[WadingThroughCustard]

I personally think its too old........for me.

But for others its up to them.

[ThatBloodyWoman]

YABU.
Plenty of us have had babies (even first babies) at 35+.

[DrewsWife]

I had one at18 I'm now 37 and expecting one. 35 is young

[SaVred]

ha ha

no

so glad my 20s were child free, I know people that had children in their 20s don't know what they missed though.

[FavaBeanPyramidScheme]

I hope not, I'm 34 and want another 3! Bring on the triplets?

[HauntedNoddyCar]

Yabu. Hadn't had my first at 35.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

For yourself or for others?

[peppercold]

First at 26, second at 35 currently 25 weeks with my third at41! So Yabu.

[ouryve]

YABVU.

I only had my first at 34. My second, at 36, was easier, if anything.

[myusernameis]

My partner is 36 and I'm pregnant with our first.. I don't think he's too old. Yabu.

[Eminybob]

I hope not, I'm 34 and expecting my first. I plan to have another. I may be nearly 40 by then!

[teeththief]

Thank you all! Will show this to DH tomorrow. I have DS (9) and DD(7). DD is so desperate for a younger sibling and I really want another one too. My parents had 6 children before they were 30 which is making me think 35 is old I guess

[StackALee]

Yes.

[Tangerinefairy]

Yabu. I felt perfectly young and able enough at 35 to have my 2nd. Unfortunately it didn't happen but I didn't feel old at all. I definitely do now in my mid 40s but know others who are mums of young babies at 40 plus.

[TaytoCrisp]

Why is it too old?

Yanbu in relation to to yourself, but yabvu if you think the same for others.

[teeththief]

I explained in my last pos taytocrisp

[RedSoloCup]

Well I'm 37 and do feel a bit old for another, have 8yo, 7yo and 3yo but to be fair if we could afford another (bigger house being main thing holding us back) I would probably have another anyway :-)...

[ShadyLadyT]

Ha! Had first one at 36. Second one at 38. Am currently heavily pregnant with third, at 42. Stopping now, but je ne regrette rien! Or that's to say: I do slightly wish I had been a bit younger but I haven't felt "too old" with any of my pregnancies.

[TaytoCrisp]

X-post!
I'm 40 and 28 weeks pregnant... My DH is very excited, it's not so bad! (had dd1 aged 36).

[Babybellyblues]

A personal judgment call to make.

For me personally it would be. But I left myself a very small personal choice window of opportunity for babies. Late 20s to early 30s . Fortunately it worked for me.

I didn't want to waste my 20s being tied down and having babies and I didn't want to have young children when I reached my 40s
