Im 33 and have only just decided to have a child. Im 21 weeks pregnant.

If you're unsure dont have one. Its not compulsary.

Me and my partner decided we would like them aged 30 but then life got in the way. I turned 35 in June and we are now on Cycle 2 of trying. I’m sure when it feels right you’ll know

I was never particularly maternal and I don't think I got the urge until after I got married at 30 then it was like a switch was flipped overnight. Our journey has been horrendous with multiple miscarriages and ruptured ectopics and now infertile at 35 - I am obviously an extreme example but had I known then what I know now I would have started earlier. We were blessed to have one child amidst the carnage but I found as soon as I had DC1 I dreamed of having more and now that is unlikely to ever happen.

For me having children is something I would never regret......not having children though.....I would have always wondered what If and would have regretted it one day if we hadn't at least tried

Unless you have any known health problems I'd say you have a few years still. Take it easy and enjoy your time as a couple. Plenty of people having kids later on in life. See how you feel in a couple of years.
