[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not too old.  You can do this if you want.

But, I definitely noticed a big difference between being pregnant in my 40s vs being pregnant in my 30s.  Everything about being pregnant seems to be a bit easier when you're younger.  [b]But, I got a late start because I went to graduate school, etc.,[/b] so wasn't the best option for me when I was young. I'm extremely grateful for my kids, though, and would do it all again.

There's never a good time to have kids; there's never a bad time to have kids.[/quote]

This is always such an odd justification. I graduated from college at 22, worked for a couple of years, started grad school, got married at 26, finished grad school, got a better job thanks to my new degree, and had children at 29 and 31. Also, I grew up UMC in New York and went to top universities so it isn’t like I was some small southern town sorority sister just going to college to get my mrs or something.[/quote]

Same here although I grew up MC in VA.  Graduated college at 22, straight to grad school.  Marriage at 25, first baby at 28, third by 34.  Many women in my program had babies during grad school.  It certainly didn't hold us back - I'd argue it was better to do it then than during their first years in the post-school workforce.[/quote]
