Getting pregnant at 38?

I had my first child at 35, I suffered from gestational diabetes, has a postpartum haemorrhage and then developed a womb infection.

Thankfully DC was fine.

DC will be 2 in a few months and I would like to have more children.

I have also recently been diagnosed with endometriosis.

Obviously I am concerned about going through the same thing again and leaving DC without a mom.

But I have always wanted a big family and I love being a mom.

Has anyone got pregnant in their late 30s and early 40s without any issues?

You need to talk to medical professional. Im guessing your a higher risk of GD again. No idea what lilhood of hemorrhaging again would be
