[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had mine at 29, 31, 34 and sometimes I regret not going for another around 40. So many of my friends (maybe even most of them) had kids in their 40s and it worked out great. [/quote]

So funny, that sounds just like me. I am not 40 yet and so far I have no intention of going for a fourth.
To OP, I had my kids young (by DC standards) because I met an older man and he did not want to have kids at 50. I also have plenty of friends whom had kids in their late 30s and early 40s (my BFF had her first at 45!). They are happy and more established than I was or currently am. Having kids “young” (especially 3 kids) did not allow for my career to really take off. I am working, but I am not where I would like to be. I wouldn’t change a thing, but I wanted to mention the downside I found with having kids young before having a real career.

I am happy that I will hopefully be able to enjoy my grandkids and help my kids with them just like my mom and dad do for us and with our kids.
