Anyone else triggered by their iPhone memories?

I am 46 - is that too old to have one more baby? My oldest is a teen but I miss the baby years so much! My second is 12 and I still try to hold him like a baby to the point where he actually said, "Go have another baby and let me go!"

I’m also 46 with a 19 yo and 15 yo and hell no I don’t want another baby. PP embrace having older kids and the freedoms that come with that.

PP here. You are right, deep down I know I couldn't handle diapers and nap time again, and I would not want to be chasing around a toddler at my age. I just have nostalgia for their sweet faces and much better attitudes back then! Teen grumpiness, homework battles, looming college costs...I know those would all come eventually with another baby!

This is ridiculous to even think about as your body at 46 is NOT conceiving a baby either way

Not true - seen it happen a bunch of times. 46 not that old ppl

With IVF maybe. It’s not happening because you decided to try.

It absolutely can and does happen to many mid 4Os women without IVF. One of my grandmothers had her last baby (my dad) at age 45 totally unexpected pregnancy, in the 1940s when there was no IVF. My husband’s great grandmother had her last baby at age 47 and that was in the 1930s!! And I know lots of women in their 40s now who have had babies with and without IVF/assistance.

I find it painful too.

He pleaded with me to try for a third, and I (39 at the time) said OK, I’ll try for a month and let the fates decide. I was very confident the fates would decide we were too old to have another. Now he weeps at iPhone memories of when our 3rd, 14, was little. I like them, though. He’s a cute kid.

9 is hard for that very reason. And congrats on #3!

We lost a child at one day old, so, yes. triggered. But I certainly don't want the memories to stop being shown to me.

Yes now that I have teens it at times feels impossible to believe these are the same humans. It's like a whole other person.

Crazy process watching them grow up.

My husband and I send the photos back and forth to each other when really cute/funny ones pop up. That part is nice. The shared experience and nostalgia with my DH.
