NEW BABY

[DOB78]

I need some advice but I'm ot sure im adding this in the right place. Apologises for the long message. Im 42 and have 2 children from a previous relationship aged 20 and 16. I started a new relationship a year ago and my new partner doesn't have any children and we discussed it at length and would like to try for a baby. The difficulty is I'm worried of the impact this will have on my other children my eldest is really against the idea but my youngest is excited. Also I dont even know if I can get pregant......
Also i dont think my family will be happy for us and they don't want me getting hurt again or rushing into anything. I just worry im going to run out of time and any chance we have of getting pregnant reduces every month.
If there is anyone who's experienced anything similar I would appreciate and advice/feedback/anything you can offer.

The only people who can decide are you and your partner. Personally I wouldn't involve anyone else, even your children, in the conversation at all, as it's not really any of their business.

Personally I would say that if you are in a stable living situation, have a steady income, are in good physical and mental health, are aware of the risks and really want to, there's no reason not to.

Thanks Coalcraft, its something I really want to do. My Partner would make an amazing Dad and I'd love to be able to have a baby with him. Im sure having a baby at 42 there will be plenty of others out there judging me but your right its our relationship and we have to do whats right for us
