I was chatting to my mum yesterday and she mentioned that she wants to have another child. I was a bit surprised and asked her what the reason was. Apparently she just really wants another, and she is worried about me being alone in the future and having to take care of my parents alone (I'm currently an only child). I would definitely like to have a DB or DSis though I am wondering how risky it would be for my mum to get pregnant at her age. She is quite healthy, doesn't smoke or drink, eats well and is active. Are there any older mums who could share their experiences of pregnancy after 40? Did you find it much harder than a younger mum would?
