Am I being unreasonable to consider another baby at 34?

Am I too old for another baby at 34?

My eldest is 10 this year, my youngest is 5 this year. I feel so so so utterly sad that I have no babies in the house anymore, at the same time I am getting a-lot of independence back and able to focus on myself more. I feel like a part of my life is older and now all I have to look forward to is grandchildren which is ridiculous because I am only 34! Im also worried about health etc, I felt unwell for a while after my 2nd and don’t really want to feel like that again… but oh the longing.

@Whataday1 Of course you're not too old, but the big question is do you want a baby, or another child? They are babies for such a very short period of time.

YABU for thinking 34 is old to have a baby but you know that.

I had my first at 37.
My friend was 11 when she had a baby sister.
I know of at least 2 families now where the oldest was in high school when the younger siblings arrived.

I think it depends on your personal circumstances and feelings as to whether you want to go back to the baby stages, have more independence, the costs and practicality if both.

Not at all. I had mine at 31, 32, and 37.
