37 and TTC. Is it a bit too late?

We haven't started TTC yet but I haven't stopped thinking about it since DC2 started school. Then we knocked it on the head because we couldn't afford it.
Now we can afford it but my youngest will be 6 in March and I will be 37 next week.
DH is very keen and so am I but I can't help telling myself that maybe things should be left alone, and that I have left it a bit too late.
Any advice or views please?

In what way do you feel that it's maybe too late? Are you concerned about being able to conceive at your age, or being older while looking after a baby or the gap between dc1 and dc2 will be bigger than you'd have liked?

I would say it's late, but not too late. Go for it!

No 37 is no too late. I had ds2 at 37.
A new baby is quite an upheaval. Would you be prepared for the constant getting up in the night, nappy changes and teething?

But if you want another one why not?
