Yeah, everything else sounds fine for going for a third, but your ages are a big factor here.[/quote]

I'm the pp who is 39 (husband is 6 months younger so basically same age).  Out of curiosity what would you think would be the cutoff?  I feel like we are on the brink (not having another for other additional reasons).[/quote]

I would avoid being AMA. I would still get pregnant at 34 and deliver at 35, but I can't imagine going beyond that. That's just me, though, I know a lot of people feel differently.[/quote]

I hear that the day you turn 35, your uterus either spontaneously explodes OR if you're lucky enough that doesn't happen, you give birth to an exploding baby.

Very, very dangerous situation.  Avoid at all costs.[/quote]

It's fine if you're comfortable with being AMA and having kids in college when you become eligible for Medicare - I am not. [/quote]

A person would need to have a baby at 44 to [b]have a child in college when he/she became eligible for Medicare[/b].  [/quote]

why is this so bad again?[/quote]

I'm sure it's fine for some folks to be nearly 60 with teenagers. It just isn't for me. Not assigning a global value to it - just saying that wasn't what I wanted for myself. So I had kids earlier, and the odds are I'll get to enjoy them for longer since I had them at 28, 30, and 32, than if I had waited until 37, 39, and 41.[/quote]
