[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a child of older parents.  I had a wonderful childhood and wanted for nothing.  However, I hated that my parents were older than everyone else's and now they have health problems and I am only 36.  I vowed to never be an old mom but infertility and pregnancy losses have made that inevitable.  I advise everyone not to wait.  Have kids as young as possible so you can have a long time with them.[/quote]

Same here. My parents were really old but they were always older than my friend's parents. Now they are having trouble caring for and spending time with my kids b/c they are in their 70s and I have an infant and a 2 year old. Unfortunately I followed in their footsteps and I am an older mom too. In fact, I am a lot older than they were! I do regret waiting to have kdis but i had infertility  issues and miscarriage so their was not much I could do. It takes time to get pregnant, stay pregnant and give birth. i would have started trying as soon as I got married if I could go back in time.But, I can't complain TOO much b/c i have 2 healthy, wonderful kids. It is a motivator to stay in shape and eat healthy.[/quote]
