[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother had me at 43 in the early 80s; she still says I kept her young.

I read something recently if it helps you decide - [b]you will never regret the kids you have, but you will always regret the kids you don't have[/b].  Follow your gut, but something tells me if you are posting here then your gut says you want another. [/quote]

On the other side of the coin, you might be wistful about the kids you do not have but you know what that life looks like. You can't give back the ones you have and love (special needs, financial complications, stress, and all). [/quote]

As someone with a special needs kid who desperately wanted said child after secondary infertility, I was definitely wistful, and I don't regret either of my children despite being exhausted, and my wishes things were easier in so, so many ways.  I occasionally ponder if I'd do it again on rough days, my honest answer is always yes so far, but I understand others might not feel the same way.    [/quote]
