Geez Op, all this "I wish ...", "I wanted ..." STOP
Plan to have another kid. Soon. Stop analyzing. |

There are so many things that are easier when you have kids at a later age...just focus on those. I had my first when I was 27, secondary infertility led us to take 9 years to have our second, and then I had a surprise baby at 41. The age gap is unusual and large, but my last two are best of friends and although I was freaked out having a baby at that age, I couldn't imagine a world without him or my life laid out any differently.
I know having 2 close together can be daunting (I've heard, anyway!), but there are gifts inherent in that too. Good luck in your pregnancy |

| Unplanned baby with then-boyfriend in mid 20s, then looooong gap to actually be ready for second. Safe to say I also wonder if this was the best way to do things, and that I too realize there was no alternative given my personal situation. That’s life. Like they say, there’s no good time to have kids... |

Hi, I am 55 years old with a 14 and 16-year-old. I met my husband when I was 36, got married and had my first child at 38 and my second child right around my 40th birthday. Yes I am one of the older moms, however I am not the oldest here in Montgomery County as there are other mothers just like me. Do I wish I had them when I was younger because I would’ve had more energy? Sure, but I cannot go back in time and somehow meet my husband before I met him. So apparently this was the right time for me.

Well I had my third at age 38 and wish I had her sooner so I could have a fourth child. I’m almost 42 now.
I would enjoy your baby and never go on birth control. Just don’t stop pregnancy and see what happens. After the baby a year old, maybe try harder to conceive. I have a friend who got pregnant at 4m pp and didn’t even know she was pregnant until she was 5m pregnant. |
