[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Don’t assume you’re still very fertile and that conceiving will be quick. 40 is a game changer for fertility.

2) I’d worry less about your age and more about the age of your other kids / family dynamic. There’s a blissful sweet spot when your kids are all able to travel or enjoy activities together without diapers and tantrums. It’s so nice. [/quote]

This.  And why do you feel the need to give your third a sibling (more than he/she already has)?  No idea of age gaps of your kids, but you said your third kid is 4, so kid will be 5 by the time the baby is born.  That's a pretty big age gap.  It wil be years before they can play together and even then odds of them playing together a lot are pretty low due to age gap.  Your 4th will a caboose child with no siblings close in age and sort of holding the family back (diapers, naps) when everyone else is wanting to out doing stuff.  [/quote]

This is a very good point. Such a big age gap will limit what your family can do. I want to take my older kids skiing because they are 7 and 5; however, I have a 2 year old... so we either split the family or we give up on skiing for 2 years[/quote]
