[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My third pregnancy kicked my ass. And he was a terrible sleeper. He wpuld only sleep on my chest on his stomach for months!

Just because you had easy pregnancies and easy babies doesn't mean you will be guaranteed that![/quote]

Not to mention that you are an older mother with a geriatric pregnancy.  Everything is older... I had no trouble getting pregnant with my son at 40 but the rest of my body started falling apart!  I pulled out my back lowering him into his crib and got carpel tunnel from carrying him wrong.

You are putting off time with your husband for another ten to thirteen years, OP.  And what if there are issues with the new baby?  [/quote]

you sound like one of those women who had kids on her early twenties and can't wait to get rid of them. but people who started later often don't feel like they because they had all the fun they wanted in their twenties. I lived with my husband for many years before having children and while I don't mind having an empty nest I am certainly not counting the days to it, either. [/quote]

DP. I am not counting either, had kids in late 20s. DS in college now, other in HS. But, the truth is that I am tired. True, my DD has Hyper ADHD and is like a rock star and I am entourage! How old are your children now? If you had many years to enjoy with your DH before kids, that it great. But, for most people, people without a lot of money, 20s and 30s and a grind one way or another, work, lack of enough money, etc..So, not much fun for so many, but easier without kids. And above PP does not say she was a young mother, on the contrary, she says she got pregnant at 40, so how do you figure she had kids early?[/quote]
