Is 34 too old to start TTC for baby number 2?

[behappy1736]

I feel like I've left it too late. The age, the risks, the age gap between first and second (first born is 5 and a half) But I just didn't feel ready until now. Now I'm ready but I feel like I've missed the boat 🥺

Definitely not too late.

No it’s not too late.

No not at all

Absolutely not too late! Wishing you lots of luck with TTC xx

On what planet is 34 too late? Lots of women have their first several years later than that.

Definitely not. I had my first at 34, second at 37. My SIL and two cousins were also pregnant when I had my second. I was the youngest!

34?? Come on, you know this isn't too late.

Yes don't bother you are fuking ancient.

Honestly what a stupid question. Women can be fertile for another 10 years after 34 ffs.

Why do you think it's too late? I had my first at 42.

Of course not. Very standard. Had my two at 32 and 37. Fell pregnant easily, straight forward pregnancies, easy birth. Lovely age gap.

You're being ridiculous. I just had number 2 at 37 and even that isn't too old.

I've just had my second at 41 with a 7 year age gap, we decided at 40 to try for another, so 34 to me is young as thats the age I was with my first :)

What the fuck have I just read. I don’t even know anyone who had a baby before 35 in my whole group of friends and close family 🙈

I’m 34 and I think it’s too late. No way!

Yes, you're practically dead 🙄

I'm older than you and don't have a first.

Shite talk..

How odd

Well this is goady

Wow some harsh comments 😳
I was asking because if I start trying at 34 I will be 35 if and when I possibly conceive the second. Everything you read online says 35 onwards is a risk for high risk
Pregnancy etc.

Rude. It's not in any way goady, I'm purely asking if it's common nowadays to have a baby or a second over 35.

I'm 30 and my mum had me at 39. My nan had my aunt at 45, 55 years ago.

What you are suggesting is not in anyway unusual or dangerous. It it pretty much a normal average age.

I've just had my first and I'm 34 in a couple of months.... you must think I'm geriatric!

If everything else is right then go for it, don't let being 34 be the reason you don't do it

@behappy1736 I had my first at almost 36 and will probably be ready for baby no 2 at 39. Youve not left it too late. All the best 😊
