[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother had my youngest brother (her 4th child) when she was 45. I was 20 when he was born. She had plenty of energy to raise him. He is 28 now and she still has plenty of energy. Go for it, OP. [/quote] +1 Some of these posts make it seem like 40 and beyond is old and worn out.[/quote] It's not, but your body does start to change. At 41, I have to spend more time and effort exercising, eating well, and caring for my body than when I was in my mid 30s. I struggle with insomnia, and having two kids under 5 doesn't help. 40s is also when many find themselves caring for aging parents and entering perimenopause. There's also the juggling of 3 kids to consider, which would wear out anybody at any age.[/quote]
