[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had my surprise twins at 43.  I never wanted kids, but when I found out I was pregnant I thought "what the h*ll. " I don't find the age to be old in the DC region.  I felt great and I continued to swim on my  masters swim team until 3 days before I delivered.

My 70-something parents rejoiced, joined a gym and became 10 years younger.

Kids are now 12 and we are such calm parents and grandparents. Better at this age! [/quote]

Now imagine if OP goes for a third and gets surprise twins.[/quote]

Or special needs. [/quote]

^This.  Raising neurotypical kids is hard enough.  If you have two heathy children already and are in your 40s, don't tempt fate.[/quote]

holy shit y'all. your ableism is really awful.  There are valid reasons to consider not having kids later but "omg they might be disabled" is really awful. 
ANY time you get pregnant you have to know there's a possibility of a child w/ a disability.
