Did anyone change their mind & decide they did want DC age 35 plus?

Anyone here happily childfree then change their mind & decide they wanted DC at age 35 or older?

Me.
I asked to be sterilised at 21 and was adamant I didn't want children.
Then in my mid 30s my Mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour and it made me reconsider the importance of family.

I wasn't suddenly desperate for a baby in fact I was still really uncertain but the thought of not having a family was a tiny bit worse than the thought of having a baby.

It took 3 years to conceive and dd was born when I was 38, I've since had another dd and absolutely adore them.

Very similarly to Gingerly, I lost my mum and it changed my outlook. I suddenly found myself feeling like I needed a daughter.

I was in an infertile marriage (male infertility and endo) which ended when I was 36. I had made my peace with being childless by then........A year later I met DH and suddenly children were a possibility......I was very scared to TTC and knew I was risking opening old wounds......
Amazingly I conceived quickly and had 2 children in quick succession.

I had never wanted children but changed my mind at 37. Conceived fairly quickly but had a late miscarriage then 2 more miscarriages then finally had my only child when I was nearly 41. She is my whole world and I love being a mum

I didn’t meet the right man until I was post 35! Then we got hitched and 2 kids after that.

Me! My husband and I were together almost 15 years when I decided at 38 that I couldn't imagine not having children. Conceived within 6 months of trying but had a miscarriage then conceived again a year later, my DD decided to make an early entrance meaning a fairly lengthy stay in hospital including surgery. I was 40 when she was born and much too afraid to try again but (like everyone) I couldn't imagine life without her!

Met DH at 32, was on the fence about kids, definitely in the no camp at 35 when we married, but changed my mind the following year and conceived first month of trying as I turned 37.

A relative of mine did. She’d always said to everyone that she couldn’t see herself with a child/didn’t one a baby.
Shes late 30’s now and just had a baby last year. She found the right person.
