I personally don't think I am...I'm 35 in a couple of months and I already have 2 children 7 and 12....when I have told friends, family and colleagues that me and DH are TTC I have been getting "ohhh at your age" or "well dont you think it's too much of an age gap between oldest and a baby to have another"
We were really positive about adding to our family but now I'm starting to feel a bit silly and that people have come across a bit negative. Some keep saying "well at your age it might be impossible to have another so dont get your hopes up" which I found rather rude tbh as I'd never dream of saying any of those things to a couple TTC I'd be supportive.

Most people I know didn't start until mid 30s so I don't think your age is an issue - the age gap with the older kids would probably bother me more though as you're starting from the beginning all over again with sleepless nights/nappies etc and whatever activities you do with your older children you're going to have a baby in tow and I know from friends/family who have a similar age gap that they really struggled with it
