[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t purely due to age. Older age, more potential complications for you and the baby, more likely kid is to lose parents early.

My 40 year old stepmother opted to have another baby with my dad. Half sister was great, loved by all, but my family really fell apart when she was young due to various health issues. And I know she felt very lonely as the only kid in the house with old parents when the older kids went to college. She’ll get zero financial or physical help from our parents when she has kids b/c they are both basically in their graves now. [/quote]

What? Basically in the grave? My parents became grandparents in their late 60s and 70s and so far they’ve been really helpful including as the kids get older they’re still out on adventures like skiing and golfing with them. I know they’d be offended by your comment.  40 is not too old to have a baby. [/quote]

If OP’s baby had a baby in her early 30s OP could be close to 80. It’s just that much more likely to deteriorate if you are older. And for the child to have developmental issues. Babies are cute but who wants a toddler when you are 45?[/quote]
