[quote=Anonymous]Third son arrived when I was 43, easiest of my pregnancies (and the easiest baby). DH & I aren’t the oldest parents among his group of friends, but close to it. I think there is a sense of feeling younger due to being around “younger adults “ (most his friends parents are 45-50). DH has two siblings and I have three, so having a third was something we discussed (but always see how things went with one, and then with two). I adore my two older sons, but can get the comment about someone missing, until our youngest arrived our family didn’t feel complete. All that being said, think about points other posters have raised (different health risks/outcomes related to pregnancy, unknown health, body, energy changes heading to your 50s and beyond), as well as the implications of what you as a family can/will do when going from four to five. Wishing you peace as you ponder what’s best for you & your family.[/quote]
