To give it another couple of years?

[Bigmango]

I’m 37 about to turn 38. I had my daughter last April after about 8 months of trying. I initially thought I’d like to have children close together, but I’m getting more and more keen on waiting until my daughter is at least 4 for a number of reasons including finances. So that would mean no trying for another 18 months to 2 years. By then I would be 40. Would I be mad to wait that long? Should we just crack on now? Anyone have any similar experiences?

If it's important to you to have another child i wouldn't wait unless you wouldn't be able to afford to eat/keep a roof over your head/pay the bills.
If it's not that important to you fine to wait and chance it

At your age, if you definitely want another child, you are totally mad to wait that long in my opinion. Yes, lots of women 40+ get pregnant fairly easily, but many, many don't, and the risks for loads of things get higher and higher with every passing year. I would not wait.

At your age 100% wouldn't wait - you'll only end up with regrets if you find you can't get pregnant again

You’d be mad to wait in my opinion! I’d crack on now if it was really important to me to have a second.
