[quote=Anonymous]I'm 35 with three children (plus one miscarriage) and we plan to try for another in two months. We got married at 27 and waited one year to try, so I had my first at 29, which I don't consider early at all. I don't regret it at all; I'm grateful that I made different life choices than my parents, who had me at 38 and 39 and are now in their mid-70s, whereas my husband's parents had him in their early 20s and his mom turns 60 this year. All other things being equal (which I know isn't reality), his parents will have 15 more years with our kids than mine do. That makes me sad, because I love all of them.

Having kids "early" hasn't stopped us. We travel more than almost anyone I know, including around the world, but we also are in a very solid financial position.

I would never put career and other factors before getting married and having children, and feel sorry for my girlfriends who have done so. I went to a top-3 law school but am also an evangelical Christian so I have quite a mix of friends who've made varying life choices and have seen all sorts of situations. [/quote]
