Easy pregnancy years ago. AIBU to think I can do it again over 40?

[Babybber]

I had a son when I was 34 with no issues at all. Conceived in the second month of trying. Straightforward pregnancy. C section birth (elected myself).

I am now 40 and have been in a new relationship for 2 years. We want to try for a baby and as much as I love the idea of it, I feel I’ve already ‘lucked out’ where having a baby is concerned. I hear of so many things going wrong and the impact on health etc that I am amazed when I look back that I had such an easy time of it. I am very happy with my son but part of me would like another and I always had hoped for more than one. I am so undecided and the longer I wait the more difficult the decision seems to be. I’m sacred it could go badly. Do you think I’m taking a big risk to do it?

I had a baby at 42 no problem

I had my dd at 41, I have had other pregnancies but found it much more tiring and vowed never to get pregnant again! She was worth it though 🙂

I had 2 children in my early to mid 20s easy pregnancies. One a C-section which went really well and the other a natural birth that went great. I had my 3rd when I was 40. Lots of issues with the pregnancy. Had a C-section again. This time was much more tiring, more issues coming up. Also unexpectedly my little one has been diagnosed with additional needs, so that's a heck of a lot more to deal with on a daily basis. I thought as the first 2 pregnancies were fine and easy, that I'd be alright. That was definitely not the case.
If you're having doubts, don't do it.
Or maybe have a discussion with your partner about the pros and cons and why you're so undecided.
