[quote=Anonymous]OP, please remember that bitterness, envy and worry, all shorten your life in much the same way as cigarette smoking.  Don't listen to the negativity.  I had my first at 38, 2nd at 40 and 3rd at 42.  Now at 51 years people think I am in my early 40's (actually had a 20 something think I was 38).  I had no pregnancy problems, nursed all three, all three are healthy, happy, thriving young children.  Yes my last one was a bit more difficult with the sleep deprivation and I do have moments of worry that I will not be around for grandchildren but they keep me young, active and healthy for now and I wouldn't change a thing.  In hindsight, if I had-had the choice, I would have preferred all by age 38 but the cards were not dealt that way for me.   Also, I think older parents make better parents because we are completely done with "sowing our wild seeds" and "self absorbed all about me years".  So honey it is all about what you and your husband want and NO ONE else matters.  If you are healthy and in a healthy supportive marriage GO FOR IT, you will not regret it.[/quote]
