35 was my cut off. I had mine at 32 and 34 and have no desire for more.

I’m very similar — I wanted to be done by 35, and just had my 4th and final baby a few weeks shy of 36. I had #3 at 32 and I also started young, #1 at 24 and #2 at 28. The 4th pregnancy wasn’t that much more difficult but being pregnant in my 30s was a lot tougher than the ones in my 20s. Sleep deprivation seems to be about the same.

35. I squeezed in #2 just under the wire. Glad I didn’t wait as my autoimmune system went haywire a couple years later. I was very ill and eventually lost my already iffy fertility before 40.

Originally it was 35. I ended up having my 2nd at almost 36. Then I felt like I could still have another up to age 39. I’m 41 now and definitely wouldn’t have anymore.

My limit was 40 - it was arbitrary but I just didn't want to be *too* old. I had my two at 36 and 39. I wish I'd had them at 33 and 36.

Same. I had my last at 36, but still thought about it until I was 38. Midway through that year, I realized I'd be 39 or older if I ever gave birth again, and I was just like...nope.

Do you have children?

Yes, 2.

I had mine at 22 and 25. I wouldn’t have had children after 35. I think having babies in your 40’s is too old.

I'm 39 and we've been waffling about a second kid for 3 years -- I was 34 when my only was born. I'd happily raise another but don't want to be pregnant again; if DH could get pregnant we'd already have two or perhaps three.

Thinking of making 40 the cutoff, but that's coming up quickly.

I think 40?

I’m 35, I have a 4 and 2 year old and I REALLY want another child.

Had my first at 25. My last (child #6) at 40. I would have considered a pregnancy up until 42 or so if I’d have fewer other children to keep up with or had started later.

I turn 34 next month and this is my last pregnancy (my second). This second one has been infinitely harder than the first just by virtue of having a 3 yo to deal with, especially during a difficult first trimester with weeks of nausea and vomiting.

singleton at 40, two at 43

35

I had my second at 43 and that felt OK. Would love a third but at 45 I definitely feel my age and would not try for another. 44 would have been my cut off for sure.
