WWYD plan another baby.... or not?

[LookingThroughTheLookingGlass]

Currently a single mum with 1 DO.
I never planned to be a single parent, always dreamed of having 4 children, always tried to cling onto the hope I still will.

I’m 35. If I met someone soon and fell pregnant in the next year, I’d be nearly 37 when baby was born. That would make me 55 when baby turns 18.
What if I ended up a single parent again?
That’s my whole life single parenting.

Should I forget the whole idea?

I realise this is hyperthetical, but I’ve been considering just doing it alone again.... but by 55 I’ll be old, still working hard to pay for everything, and potentially alone.

Send in the violins.
I hate lonely Saturday nights.

I had dc when I met dh. And I was 41. We had ds when I was 43!!
Stop panicking op!!
Plenty of time yet!

But if I don’t do it alone now, what if I get too old?
Anyone got a crystal ball handy?

35 is not very old. 4 children might be a bit ambitious, but you've still got plenty of time to meet someone and have more. Or are you considering going it entirely alone i.e. donation?

Hugs to you

I mean not waiting, not being sensible if I meet someone... or finding a donor
