To have another baby at 37?

I’m looking for someone to tell me that I’ve completely lost my mind!

I have 4 children, and I absolutely love the chaos! I love all their personalities and watching them grow. I am lucky enough to be a stay at home mum even though I have 2 teens, the youngest 2 are toddlers.

We are getting married next year and I can’t help feeling that another baby would be so welcome and wanted in our family! However, I would be 37 (all being well fertility wise) once baby would be here.

All I keep doing is counting up in age at how old I would be on the school runs etc and would my
husband and I be too old to travel once the children had their own lives.

I can’t stop thinking about another baby! But is this because I'm sad that I just won’t have one again if that makes sense?

thank you!

Hi, I'm having my first at 42 lol. Not planned, but hey life throws us many curveballs. I struggled alot in the early weeks, but I do feel it's meant to be. Having a very textbook easy pregnancy too, which im very lucky with. Im also v healthy, and dont feel its too helpful to look into the future too much because we cant control what happens or predict anything...we can only live in the here and now..what will be, will be. Only you can decide what's best for you and family. I do not think 37 is too old, personally, but there might be others that do.
