[quote=Anonymous]I benefited greatly from having active, loving, and somewhat crazy 20-something parents, and I'm happy to have given my first DD some of the same. Expecting another child in my 30s, I know Ill be a different parent this time around, perhaps more tired, perhaps overly cautious, but also more nurturing and attentive. But as PP said, there is a difference between deciding to have a child in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, and having it thrust upon you. We planned this one. The one I had in my 20s was an accident, under less than perfect circumstances. I had to give some serious thought to whether I should keep her, and I think I'm a better mother for having had the choice. Only you and your husband know whether this is something you both really want. If it is not, you don't owe this to anyone -- not to your friends or family, not to providence for making you pregnant, not to the women who want to get pregnant and can't... It's your life. [/quote]
