[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think it is bananas to have your first kid at 38. There are so many more complications and risks. What if your kid has special needs? I have a child with special needs, and it is very hard to take care of my kid even though I am in my 30s. I think there are positives and negatives. The pluses are that you are more mature and don't care what other people think. You also have a more stable career and money. The minus is that you might not live to see your kid get married or have kids. That is the truth. Just do what's best for you. I still think you can move up in your career when you have your kids early. I know a lot of people who do it. It is easier to take a pause IMO when you are younger than when you're older and on the top. I get it 38 is the new 30 for having kids, but you'll end up with higher risk pregnancies and more c-sections. [/quote]

You're entitled to your opinions, just like anybody else. Feel free to live your life based on your opinions. You think 38 is too old to have a baby, fine, don't have a baby at 38! Let other women make their own decisions about what is right or wrong for them based on their lives, circumstances,  and preferences without unnecessary judgment from you. Coming up with arbitrary thresholds like 38, 40, or whatever to have a baby on a thread started by an OP who is already feeling insecure about her age is not helpful. In fact, it's mean.[/quote]
