[quote=Anonymous]We're also older parents and I have always cautioned that you have less energy but more resources.  However, sometimes you have to deal with what life dealt you.  I've known any number of friends who had health issues in their late 20's and their 30's but they still managed.  Yes, it is true that you are more likely to have health issues when you are older, but your situation isn't that different from my friend who was diagnosed with Lupus when her child was 2 years old...and she was 28.  The last 14 years have been very difficult for her (especially the teenage years when her marriage eroded), but she's managed and she's got a great kid.

OP, thank you for sharing.  It is important that potential parents go into such a situation informed and with their eyes open.  Your warning isn't a  DANGER--NEVER DO THIS, but a CAUTION--THIS IS WHAT YOU MAY BE IN FOR message that is worthwhile to consider.  And it is good for parents who have the option to conceive in their 30's to seriously consider it before waiting until later because "they have time."[/quote]
