[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I think you are a little too old. We have three and the my husband got a vasectomy because we definitely did not want 4. Also, we have 3+ years between #2 and #3. You still have a newborn and you are 40. I would stop there[/quote]

OP is not old. Plenty of moms are having another child at her age. I’ve known some moms who had their first child at 39. Also, she has an infant, not a newborn. [/quote]

She will be 58+ by the time the third goes to college and that is older than my mom was when she became a grandma. That is what I think about. I had my third at 34 and honestly I felt like I was pushing it. But of course we all have different plans. If she were considering the first or the second, I would not suggest to stop because being a mom and giving your child a sibling outweigh in my opinion the negatives of being an older parent. For a third, however, it just seems unfair to the third baby[/quote]

Was your mom a teen mom? Being a grandma and not even being 58 is crazy to me. Women today are having kids later. Being 58 when your kid goes to college is not old. 34 is not old to have a baby either. I think you all should back off and stop telling OP she is old. [/quote]

It's perfectly normal to be a grandma at 58.  This means both the woman and her daughter had children at a very reasonable age of 28ish.  Having young grandparents is a blessing, and giving your children more time with grandparents is a great gift.  [/quote]
