[quote=Anonymous]had mine at 38 and 40. no regrets, though there's stuff I miss about child free life. But I lived a lot for myself in my 20s and 30s and don't feel like I'm missing out that much. Kind of wish I had done it earlier because I would have more energy (though less money) and younger grandparents.

If only one of you wanted kids, I would say don't rock the boat. But if you both do, worth exploring.  The caveat being that it could happen easily, it could happen with only a lot of help and it could also not happen at all.You and your husband may want a few sessions with a specialized counselor to explore your feelings, including whether you really want a child (or more), and if so, how far you are willing to go to have a child (financially, emotionally, biologically, etc). Or you could decide to cross that bridge once you get there. and its a good time to discuss what you imagine having a child will be like, how it will change things, are things balanced now, can you figure out a way to split or balance responsibilities, care, money, etc. [/quote]
