[quote=Anonymous]I just had my first at 39 and find myself hoping for one more now that she is 2 months old. I find it entertaining how some people are so "sure" that 41 is too old to have a baby. I feel like starting this adventure now in my life has been the "secret sauce" for how much fun I am having with the first. I was 38 when I became pregnant with my baby, and I'm sure the pregnancy would have been a little easier if I had had a 22 year old body and bones but I think the place I am in in my life could not be better suited for being a great first time mother. I have more patience. I have traveled the world. I have built a successful career where I earn a good living and have the privilege of working from home frequently. I am well educated and got to be delightfully self-absorbed for many years. : ) I am enjoying every minute of the transformation that is motherhood. It is super hard work and I can't imagine how the 20 year olds out there manage it, given how much self discipline it takes to be a good mother.  Of course I don't have anything to compare my experience to, but having a baby later in life has been a blessing for me and I wouldn't change a thing. [/quote]
