[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Also wondering if you would recommend sticking with one child or if you think its better to provide a sibling even if it means having a baby at 41/42.[/quote] I had my first when I was almost 41. I had a hard time dealing with the infant/early toddler years (not because of my age, but because of my lack of confidence and mental stability). I absolutely wanted to stick with one. By the time I decided I was ready for another, and really wanted a second, at 44.5, I was too old to conceive. My advice is if you're even thinking about 2, have the second very soon after the first. However, that being said, I believe that having 2 would be much more difficult, especially as one approaches their 50s. At least for me, my energy level began rapidly declining at 45.[/quote]
