Hi, I am new to this site so apologies if I babble on too much or don't use the correct abbreviations!! Last week, my hubby announced that he'd like us to try for another baby! He's 44 and I'm 40 (41 in October). We already have 2 wonderful and healthy children, our daughter who is 10 next week and our son who is 5. I have always hankered after a 3rd, though at times felt guilty when friends and family have struggled to have one at all and would we be pushing our luck with wanting a 3rd and being a 'mature' new parent! Our daughter had started full time school at 4 when we had our son and I enjoyed having that time with her before her brother came along so wanted a similar age gap. Anyway, my father in law passed away suddenly and our business struggled with the recession so having another baby wasn't at the forefront of our minds. A couple of years on and many conversations later about 'should we' or 'shouldn't we', my husband is now keen for number 3. On top of making a decision, I am a terrible terrible worrier, so much so, I get on my own nerves by how much I worry about every day stuff (used to travel around the world with my job before I had children, didn't worry about anything, children came along and now I must be the world's worst for worrying!). So, to try and conclude, can anyone offer advice on having a baby after 40. We were extremely lucky to fall pregnant on the first attempt with both our children so if we were to try for a 3rd and it happens quickly again, I would be 41. I have read a few threads on here which I have found helpful but is there anyone who is going through or has been through a similar situation. Also, being an indecisive Libran doesn't help either, I almost wish it had happened by accident, then it would take the decision making away!
