Want a baby.. or is it hormones?

I’m 35 and my partner is 42.
We have two children 15 & 10.

For some reason, I have been feeling horribly broody and really want another baby! šŸ™ˆ
Please tell me the pros & cons.
We could afford to do so, but would need the older two to potentially share a bedroom.
The only issue I have is that I have a history of recurrent miscarriages (12 in total) & when I last gave birth I lost a lot of blood & had to be rushed to theatres.

Am I absolutely crazy for even considering it? Or is it just that time in a woman’s life where hormones go crazy?
