[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone have an unexpected pregnancy at 41? I have two kids who will be 8 and 11, and I really worry about having a baby at this age and time of life. Is the age gap too large? Will I be unable to appreciate and spend time with my older kids because of the burdens of a baby/toddler/preschooler? [b]Will the youngest ever really know his/her older siblings? [/b]Also, I have a demanding job and am the main earner, so we'd have to have child care. I'm not able to stay at home, so time with my kids already feels stretched thin. I would love to hear perspective from women who may have gone through this about how they've handled it.[/quote]

The youngest might or might not be close to her siblings but age won't be the main factor. My siblings are 17 and 12 years older than me. I am extremely close to both. My sister lives in Europe and visits twice a year; we exchange several emails every day and talk on the phone every weekend. I am not saying this will be the case with your family, but it might as well be.[/quote]
