To have a baby at age 38?

[eviethehamster]

Am I? We have 3. We are toying with the idea of 4 for selfish reasons (e.g. It's an even number 🙄, we don't want our 2nd being a "middle child"). I have a history of m/c. I had 1 prior to dd1 and 2 prior to dd2. I conceived and carried ds1 without complication (unplanned). I am terrified of another m/c. I am terrified of pregnancy at 37.
AIBU to even consider this??

Good for you Caill. Personally I am about to have baby no 2, struggling with a toddler, lack of sleep and constant SPD pain, no family support. Will I feel like this at 55 when not pregnant, breastfeeding, able to exercise? No I will probably be back to circuit training 5 days a week and sleeping 8 hours a night. But the op asked if she should have a 4th and personally I think not, the risks go up at 35 and she has 3 other existing children to consider first. The more kids you have the less energy and time you have for each of them in my opinion.

Also you convieniently quoted me but left out me saying 'this pregnancy has been hard' so unless you are also 32 weeks pregnant and did a 10 mile run yesterday with SPD and HG it isn't really comparable

I think it's more a case of do you have the energy to have another when you already have 3 kids, more than your age. If you were 38 and having your first child, that would be very manageable.
