[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I think you are a little too old. We have three and the my husband got a vasectomy because we definitely did not want 4. Also, we have 3+ years between #2 and #3. You still have a newborn and you are 40. I would stop there[/quote]

OP is not old. Plenty of moms are having another child at her age. I’ve known some moms who had their first child at 39. Also, she has an infant, not a newborn. [/quote]

She will be 58+ by the time the third goes to college and that is older than my mom was when she became a grandma. That is what I think about. I had my third at 34 and honestly I felt like I was pushing it. But of course we all have different plans. If she were considering the first or the second, I would not suggest to stop because being a mom and giving your child a sibling outweigh in my opinion the negatives of being an older parent. For a third, however, it just seems unfair to the third baby[/quote]

Everyone is different. I didn’t ask an input on my age and whether you think I’m too old. I was not ready for a child at 29. I didn’t meet my husband until I was 34, and no way was I having kids with just anyone because of an age limit. I decide to wait until I was married to a man who would be a great partner and father. He is all of that and so much more! It may seem old to you, but many women are having kids older because of careers, fertility issues, meeting partner later in life, etc. I’m glad I waited until I was “ old” because I found a great man who is an amazing father and husband.
