Too old?

[wiccawitch]

Hiya
Sooooo we are considering ( very excitedly) having Baby number 4
I’m now 36
I had one in my teens, one in my 20s and one when I was 30
So what I want too know is am I now a bit old to be considering this? What’s the difference now I’m a tad older ?
Thank you x

Lots of women have babies at 36 or older - their first or a later

I'll be 39 when I have my first, she's due in march x

No, not too old!

Had my first at 35 and second is due when I’m 39.... and DH is a few years older than me.

I think I may have been more energetic when I was slightly younger but then we wouldn’t have been as secure in terms of work/finances etc.

I'm 39 and 9wks with number 4. I have 18, 9 and 7 yo dc. Took waaay longer to fall pregnant with this one but that could have been down to other factors as well.

I’m 37, have 2 teens and a toddler and am 20 weeks with #4.

Oh gosh no, not at all.

Think you’re bonkers going back to the baby years though

I was 42 when I had my first. X

I had first age 21
Second age 30
Third age 41
It's actually been easier with the last one and I've two grandchildren to run around after as well.

Technically not too old but I think you will probably find pregnancy and motherhood more tiring. I had one in my teens then one in my 30s and the difference was a shock to the system, the latter pregnancy just about finished me off! In hindsight I wish I'd had both my children before I hit 20, I may have even had another one 😂

I had my first at 37!

36 is not too old at all!

I am having my fourth at 37. I don't feel old, my consultant thinks I am ancient though. Tactful he is not.😁

I don’t think you’re too old at all! They do say it takes longer to fall pregnant the older you are though.
I’m 35, have two teens and considering a third with my husband, it would be his first biological child. I do worry about going back to the baby years though and coping with GCSEs/A levels and potentially a toddler. And how it will affect my older two

I had my first when I was 37, second at 41 and 3rd when I was 43.

I’m now 53 and I find it difficult to keep up with them and I have a serious health problem that has raised its ugly head in the last year.

I had my third child at 38.

Having my second at 41. 42 by the time he or she will be born.

I don’t feel too old. But I’m pretty active and healthy.

I had my first at 35 and I'm 41 now and due my second in a few weeks.

Nope. I'm 36 and having my first babies (twins) in May. I'll be nearly 37.

No I don't think it's too old. I had my first at 20 and my fourth at 29 and I did find motherhood more tiring and the sleepless nights got to me more, so physically it was more wearing on me and I found the pregnancy harder.
But as a bit older I found I had more patience and confidence as a mother, so there's good and bad.
I'm 31 now and won't be having any more as I don't want to bringing up babies in my forties but that's just my personal opinion.

First at 20, second at 37!!! (DSD is in the middle)

Had my first at 17, second when I was 18, third when I was 36 and loved it so much im doing it again at 37.

I was consultant led and I did ask if i was considered an old mum and they laughed and said definitely not, mud to late 30's in now the average age for pregnancies 😊

*mid to late 30's

First at 31 and am having my 3rd next week at 39. You're definitely not too old!

I'm pregnant now. Late 30's. To be honest I am noticing a few differences as it's not my first pregnancy and I was more youthful before! I'm getting more niggles and can't do as much as my brain tells me I want to do! But it's not awful and not too old, just noticeably a bit different!
