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 🥺

Well aren't you a delight?
I was asking a question, no need to be so rude.
It's not about being fertile but the risks that supposedly come with having a baby after 35 as per the nhs website.
But thanks for your input 🙄

What planet are you living on to think 34 is too old in 2022!

Oh don't be silly. It's practically young these days! I'm due my second in January at the ripe age of 34 and 10 months!

Best of luck OP

I hadn't even had my 1st by that age, and I have 3.

Go for it!

Another point of view, I had two easily at age 29 and 31. Been trying for a third since I was 34, for almost two years, and it’s never happened again for me. I think I’m in the minority, however

Sorry Op but this does sound a bit silly you're 34 not 44 and it's your second baby. If you had a healthy pregnancy before the risk are actually pretty low at your age. Try your best to relax 34 is no age at all. It sounds like you maybe a little anxious. Maybe a chat with your GP will help put your mind at ease. Good luck.

Are you joking?

Dw op. When did you have your first? It doesn’t where you live what is normalised. But no it’s not too late at all.

Do they have Google where you live OP?

Secondary infertility is a thing though, OP.

For me - first at 36, second at 38. Also 3 MC and borderline for secondary infertility markers. These are some of the risks!

I had my first at 34, second at 38, I'm 55 now. I'm really close to them, I'm certainly not too old to be their parent at all.

Had first at 34 and second at 36 - no major issues!!
