[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got pregnant at 44, by then my children were full-grown adults.
(My youngest was 21.)

I was tired.
Raising two kids alone was the toughest thing I have ever endured.
The taste of freedom was the best. thing. ever.

I was going to have an abortion, but my body terminated the pregnancy on its own.
Yes - I had a miscarriage before six weeks.
It was a relief at the time because I felt I had just entered the best stage of my life.
My child rearing years were just done.

You likely will miscarry due to your age.
If you do not, your pregnancy will be in the high risk zone.
You may not carry to term, you may have a baby w/a low birthweight or you may give birth to a child w/birth defects or Down Syndrome.

Is it worth the risk to you?
Also, you will have to sign up for an add’l eighteen plus years of child rearing and will unlikely be able to travel post-kids due to age + finances.[/quote]
