Am I to old to have another baby?

That is your decision.

I think you’re too old when your body says you’re too old.

Go for it while you still can

So this is not about nails anymore…

Hears the way to think about what ever your age are or mite be let’s say you live to 21 what age you will be think about that of takeing care of that child then do you do or not after that

I had my one and only child at 38 and she is perfectly fine.

Go for it God gave you the ability to have babies until you can’t have them anymore.

Why is this on a nail page? Why are you asking strangers on the internet what to do with your uterus?

If you’re interested in bringing another into this amazing disaster then do so… Might just be the John Conner for the job

I was 40 wen I had my last xx

Your choice! Who is to say that’s too old? My mom had my brother at 40.

i had my last baby at 39 :heart_eyes: My eldest is 22 then 15, 8 and my 2 yr old

I was 39 with my last one. Not too old!

My sister is 38, going to be 39 this year & is pregnant. I think that if your body is in good shape & the dr’s don’t see anything that would give them cause for concern, then go for it.

I am 38 I have a 21 yr old 19 yr old 13 yr old 15 month and I’m 29 weeks lol I keep saying I’m too old for this but I wouldn’t change it for the world if you’re stable and wanting another baby then that’s your choice . Other people’s opinions don’t matter

Not at all! I have a 20 and a 5 year old and I will be 43 this year. If you want another and feel it is right then do it!

No you’re not too old. Go for it if you’re healthy enough to do it.

I don’t think there is such thing as being to old, unless you physically can’t handle having another baby I don’t see a issue with having more children. It’s your life and your family, I say do what’s in your heart!

Do whatever makes you happy. If your doctor is not concerned and no health issues and the father of your child is happy with the idea than why not.

And good luck. Some of wish we could have another one. Embrace the blessing if that is what is in the future for u.

I just had a baby in January an I turned 43 in March… It’s not easy on your body and I don’t have the energy I used to but 5 yrs makes a lot of difference at 38 I would have been fine I think

I don’t believe so. I’m 37 with a 16 year old, 12 year old, 8 year old and 1 year old. I will admit I have a lot less energy now. Having a baby at 21 was a lot easier on my body than having a baby at 36. Take your vitamins, eat healthy and adequate sleep. You got this!

I’m 44 and wish I could have another one. Already have 21,10,7 yr old

If you feel like you have the time and energy to have another baby then by all means do it! :purple_heart:

No you are not too old but you may be considered high risk by Doctors due to your age. Do you have the support system you will need to do that? Have you had a check up lately to make sure there are no health issues that would worsen while pregnant? Can you afford to support another child? Maybe this desire comes from a soul connection with a soul who has chosen you to bring it into this world.
On another note, the world is full of strife now, with many forces trying to change things and it’s very hard to know what the world will be like in a year, two years, ten years. Think pandemics, wars, global climate change… there may be changes you can’t anticipate.

I had my 3rd child at 38 and last at 40. Do whatever makes you happy. Btw, my last child was born after I had my tubes tied at 38. Apparently it didn’t work but I’m glad.

I was 43 when I had my beautiful little girl. I have two adult children both in their twenties and at the time 3 grandchildren. Getting pregnant at 42 was a surprise to say the least. I was blessed with a wonderful pregnancy and an easy birth. If you feel you are healthy enough to have a safe pregnancy for you and your baby then I say go for it.

I am 40 and had daughter recently. She born 2 months before I turned 40. Thankful she’s healthy. Drs will treat you as high risk cuz of age and you will go through lot tests and 2 3-d ultrasounds to check on baby to be sure it’s ok and grow properly. Sure. It does put stress on you. But try keep stress off you as possible. I am also mother of soon be 15 and 12 years old.

I know several people that have kids with a 20 yr age gap… I have a hard enough time with an 8 year gap

I have three girls 31,13 and,11. I had my last one at 45!! Best pregnancy was my last. I felt great.

Many do at a higher age. I don’t think age is the question here. Can you afford it and are you healthy enough and have a solid “foundation” built.

I have a 22 year old, a 16 year old, a 14 year old and now a 20 month old. I had my youngest a month before I turned 39. It was a harder pregnancy and I feel more drained keeping up with working fulltime and all the kids, family, and household chores than when I was younger but I love it all and wouldn’t have changed a thing. Do what you feel. Don’t worry about what age is too old to start again.

I had a baby at 37. Pregnancy is definitely harder on your body. But if you want to then do it. I wouldn’t change it for the world :blush:

Not too old at all. I am 40. I have a 7 month old all the way up to 20! I will say the pregnancy at 39 is more exhausting than when I was young though!

Why do u care about strangers? Personally yes but really why have kids in this crap? Were on the verge of being a socialist country a child brn now or over the last few yrs is screwed.

I would say go for it if it’s been on your mind. Another Blessing added to your family. You are definitely not too old. Because of health issues I had to stop at 3. Trust me I love my 3 kids unconditional but if I were able, I would have had as many kids as the Lord would have allowed me to keep heep having. Most happy time:

I say talk to your Dr and see if medically/physically you could do it. If you want to do it again go for it mama :heart:
Or you could foster and adopt?

38 is not too old, but as each year passes, there’s greater risks to both you & the baby. Talk with your primary care physician about this. Make sure you are healthy enough to go through the pregnancy first. Make an educated decision, not an emotional one. If your doctor says it’s not wise, consider adopting a child already looking for a set of parents. There’s lots of kids in foster care & orphanages. Look at all potential options prior to trying to get pregnant. Having a miscarriage is something no woman is fully prepared for, and as you grow older, the risk of miscarrying increases. I wish you the best no matter what your decision is. Just know ahead of time what you’re looking at for possibilities.

That is not a simple answer hun. Many things to consider… I believe if you are healthy enough and of course financially stable sure. But if you have had complications in the past or suffer an illnesses of course not. I personally would always have a feeling in my heart that someone was missing from my family and just knew it was time for another. I wish you the best of luck either way. I think though you asking us the question you already know.

Who cares what other people think. If your OB gives you the okay to do it, do it. I’m 36. Today is my youngest 6th birthday. I’m graduating with my AA in 6 weeks. I’m still planning on having another.
If you feel old don’t have one. Lol

Nope! I’ll be 38 next week and just had a baby 3 months ago. I have a 19, 16, 13, and 9 year old from my previous marriage. I’m hoping to have another in about 2 years.

I’m 38 and currently pregnant with twins so no I definitely dont think it’s too old but it’s really how u feel.

I am 35 and currently 38 weeks pregnant. I have a 19, 13 and 9 year old also.
I have to say this has by far been my easiest pregnancy. My body does not like being pregnant, but this time around it’s been great.
I would say, talk with your OB, make sure you are healthy enough and go for it!

I have a 19 13 and a almost 2 year old. If you are healthy and I’m a healthy relationship go for it. God don’t make any mistakes. Yes having a baby when your older is a little harder. But you definitely enjoy your moments more. I’m 43 btw.

I had my daughter at 38 and there’s nothing wrong with it

No your not to old!!

I had my last baby at 38 with zero complications. I think if you are healthy you would do just fine. Women are having babies later in life more often now. Good luck!

I have a 12 yr old, 9 yr old and just had my youngest at age 39. Honestly this last pregnancy was way easier for me. Its an adjustment going back to the whole diaper stage and getting up at night but its not awful.

I also would like to add i would make sure you are really financially secure. I am terminally ill now with a 14 yr old. He is terrified and goes through depression and anxiety from my diagnosis. He has had to hear about my cancer since he was 7. His dad is a deadbeat something i never thought would happen we were together happy for 15 yrs. Life can never be predicted. But now my worries are will my 25 yr old daughter have the money to raise her brother? What will it do to them all emotionally? Just my thoughts. My life was extremely different when I planned him.

Definitely not too old. If you want more kids, keep having kids. My mom was 21 when she had her first and 41 when she had her last (had 7 total). And look at Naomi Campbell, who is 50, just had her first. So you do you girl!

I personally would find it too tiring but you are looking after young ones already.
It’s obviously such a personal choice but make sure you’re well aware of any risks involved at a later age.
Good luck x

Your not to old .that is definitely a personal choice…
My questions would be…
Are you financially stable to have another one .at this age usually people start to think about the next 20-25 years to retirement…or after Covid travel to that place you always wanted to go…
Unless wealthy doing it all can’t happen…to me it would depend on a lot of issues… including if hubby wants to start over…not just am I to old…

Whatever’s right for YOU!

My wife had our last child at 38. I made sure she was at every appointment, and she got whatever she wanted. To me, a child is a gift from god, and I’ve never regretted having them. If you want a child, go for it, by all means.

Before I knew it I was in my late 30’s and hadn’t had that other baby we always wanted. So at 37 we started trying again and got pregnant right away. I ended up having a miscarriage at 15 weeks. So we waited a little bit and tried again. Now I’m 39 with a 6 month old bundle of joy. He is wonderful and I don’t regret my decision one bit. So best of luck with your decision it’s not too late.

I think it would be ok. Go for it mama!!!

No! I had a child at 27, 39 and 43.

Yes it’s too old, but that’s just my opinion. I have a 13 year old and a 26 year old. Doctor said I was too old. I was convinced he didn’t know what he was talking about at the time, lol, but he was right. Age does matter. When went places in public, people would ask if my son was the father of my baby and if I were the grandma.
