[quote=Anonymous]If you have three healthy kids, you have absolutely no idea what it would be like to have a child with problems, which is quite possible at your age. Sorry, but that's the truth. I had a kid at nearly 46, and yes, my child had problems, and still does, years later. If I had to do it again, I would, but I knew the risks, and I had a child with issues, so I knew what I was getting into, but I took the risk anyway. A child with problems will take over your life, and possibly ruin it especially if your DH doe snot want a 4th child. I know what it's like to want another child at an older age, and hear everyone discouraging me, so I feel for you. But you need support. I was bedridden for the final weeks of my pregnancy, so there's another possibility. No work, no nothing, full time housekeeper and child care. It took an incredible strain on my family. And I was very healthy, fit, thin, etc. Think it through thoroughly, OP. It is risky at your age. [/quote]
