Am I too old now?

[Chops2017]

Going through a break up, it's been going on for a few years and now it's time to leave, I am worried that I'm too old to meet someone new and have more children? I'm 32 xx

You are really not to old!!! I was 40 when I had to start again. Age means nothing.

Whats wrong with being single?

Nope. Definitely time. My friend’s parents met when they were 35 and 36. They got married the year later, and her mum went on to have four kids at 38, 40, 42 and 44.

It might not happen for you, but I certainly wouldn’t give up hope.

I'm 37, was single for 10 years, met my partner 5 years ago. Expecting our first child in July.
I also have a 20 year old so never expected to settle down and start a family in my 30's!

Not too old at all. But perhaps give yourself a bit of time as single before launching into another serious commitment.

You're so young. Honest.

Young enough to have more children ? Xx

How many do you have now?

I'd say you're the perfect age to be single for a while. Concentrate on your life with your children, they'll be having to make huge adjustments and will need you more than ever.

Really work out why your relationship wasn't right for you, and what you want from the future. Maybe it is a new partner, more children, maybe it isn't. Then, when your children are in a place where they can begin to consider having another adult in their life, hopefully you'll know what you want and what will work for you.

I have one dd, I feel so guilty that she doesn't have siblings, I have 4 siblings and they are the best gift my parents gave me, I just can't stay with him, both him and his mum havent treated me right and I've got nasty to him because he doesn't see it all going on, I don't want my DD seeing it all xx

I would say beware of launching into a new relationship with the goal of it purely being about more children. You are young enough to meet someone else and have more kids for sure, but you need to have some awareness of what your main motivations are for any new relationship. You want to meet Mr Right next time round, and therefore it's important that you focus on that; then children will be a happy addition to the positive relationship you have together.

Absolutely, I'm not the type to jump into bed and make a baby if that makes sense?! I want to know what it feels like to be loved and cared about again first xx

I met my now dh at 41 and had a dc at 43.
He was 31

Sorry about your break up. As you get older, they tend to bruise more but you are still young.

I met my DH 5 months before my 40th birthday. I married him (first marriage for both of us) at 41 and had twins a week before my 43rd birthday.

Loads of time.

Are you serious ? You don't know if you are young enough to have more children being 32 now ?

I met DH at 30, got together properly at 32. We got married when I was 35, had DS at 36. You've got plenty of time 😊

Of course not

I met my husband at 39 and went on to have two kids.

Your fertility doesn’t suddenly grind to a halt in your early 30s

I understand OP that you are looking for a bit of reassurance and probably just a wee chat on a boring Sunday afternoon and I hate when others pile in ripping the OP apart for no real reason, but, really? Of course you're not too old. You know that or should do.

Enjoy your DD. She is enough and I'm sure she will have lots of cousins to love and play with. Blended families can be tricky and need to be managed well for it to be a success. Why not spend some time on your own building your confidence and support network so that you can provide a safe and nurturing home for you and your DD before jumping into a new relationship and having children with someone new? Build your career, get a hobby, make some new friends. Being happy on your own is such a gift.

I met ds’s dad when I was 43 and had ds at 45. Ds is 11 now. No problems so far.

I've felt this on and off. Some days I feel ancient and like giving up and ending it all, some days I feel young, ambitious, and excited about the start of my future. Depends on my hormones probably! I'm your age and broke up from sbxh a year & a half ago. I'm just starting to think about dating again, but I'm going to get myself in great shape first. My thighs need work!

I'd only have another baby if I could work FT after maternity, and I wouldn't have another after 35 that's my cut off. But if it felt right and baby was very much wanted it does sound nice. Baby would have two big brothers. I would love to experience having a baby with a lovely, decent, hardworking, excited daddy to be. That must be so amazing. I wouldn't rule it out.
