[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get you.  You probably had a lot of discomfort with waiting all along but suddenly these double pregnancies in the family really woke you up to the fact that you are not where you want to be in your own journey to parenthood.  Now take the focus off of them and turn it where it should be.

You are already a “geriatric pregnancy.”  If you want a baby, you need to be trying NOW, and DH either agrees and is ready or you need to make a tough choice.  Because if you are 36 and he “doesn’t feel ready,” then he is essentially saying that he’s at minimum not sure he wants a baby WITH YOU.  Because he is making it increasingly likely that you will never be able to conceive together every month he waits.

In your shoes, I would start by scheduling an appointment with your OBGYN and having DH come with you and ask the doctor in front of him how long they think you have.  Because if he doesn’t know he needs to hear it loud and clear.[/quote]

This is sound advice, particularly if you want more than 1 child! There’s never a perfect time to have a baby. I had my first at 30 when we were still newly married without any money. It was hard but we made it work. 3 kids later, we’re doing great. If you’re waiting for the perfect time, it was yesterday [/quote]
