[quote=Anonymous]Would i have a 3rd baby at 40? No. Would i try and have a first? Yes, because I would want the chance to be a mother. I had a ton of energy at 40 (really it was indistinguishable from 30 or 35). Now I'm closer to 45 and I just feel different. It's weird. I'm active, I'm healthy, I'm thin, I eat well but I just feel different. I feel older. It crept up somewhere between 42 and 44. Would I want a 4 or 5 year old now or a BABY? NO! I shudder at it. I think a lot of it is mental too. As I've aged I've become more...selfish? I like quiet time more. I like structure more. I feel a need to reclaim (or claim) myself and my interests and hobbies---at least on the margin of life. The chaos of young kids which was so awesome when I was 35 seems really unappealing now.
