My daughter is 45 having her eleventh
My aunt had her last baby at 43. You will be fine girl do what you want
My mom has me at 42ā¦
I was 18 years after the eldest, 16 years after the middle one and 10 years after the youngest
When i was having my first,there was a lady having het first baby,she was 38. When i was having my second baby,there was a lady of 46 having her fifth baby. You are not being selfish in wanting a sibling for your child,but listen to your body clock and think ifvyou feel fit and well enough to have another.
The news is saying women are starting families later on now starting over 30 lol anyway do what feels right for you 
you are not selfish for wanting another child x
Iām 36 I have 6 kids my youngest 2 are ages 2 and 3 and I will say everyone is different some people I know can barely handle the one child they have and ask how I do it and to me itās just natural so I would say if you want another baby have another baby
I was 35 with my last and boy I tell ya, itās wayyy more difficult trying to find the energy now than it used to be. Remember, itās not just about the baby days, itās about taking care of that child for 20 years. Itās the getting up at 4 am for hockey practice, itās the running around after school to get them to gymnastics. Itās the dealing with teenager hormones in your 50s.

A lot of women dont start having babies until theyāre mid 30ās. The only issue with it is your fecundity rate decreases gradually until age 32. At 37, it drops dramatically. So getting pregnant might be a little more difficult but if you have the energy and are in good health have at it !

If you and hubs are on the same page- go for it!! I had 4 kids and a couple years after my 4th was born I was diagnosed with aggressive cervical cancer. It took me a while to wrap my head around it and I decided I wanted a 5th child before I couldnāt. My husband was initially resistant - not because he didnāt want another baby but he was nervous about medical issues. We met with fertility doctors and oncologists and we were presented with a timeline to āsafelyā move forward. It took us some time but within the timeframe (barely) we were able to conceive. And a couple weeks later, they discovered I had uterine cancer and recommended termination of my pregnancy. Again- a lot of discussion between me & hubby and quite a few medical opinions, we proceeded with the pregnancy. Once again, hubby was reluctant for health reasons. That was almost 19 years ago and when I tell the entire story, people point to me like I was some sort of āheroā. I was NOT! If I wasnāt able to bring a healthy (albeit premature) baby into the world and survive it myself, that story has a whole different meaning. My point is that if you and your husband are united and you have had the relevant discussions with the right experts, you can make your decision and go forth. Ultimately anything can happen and all you can do is stick together, be open with each other, follow the recommendations of the professionals and the rest is up to God.

Thereās women who have babies a lot older than you. If you and hubby want another go for it.
I donāt think itās selfish to want more children if you are financially capable of taking care of them. I will say I was completely irritated when I read the whole āfull siblingā comment. Full/Half siblings shouldnāt matter. Love is love if you raise them accordingly.

I have 3 older step kids and one 12yo bio son. I was 38 when I had him. I was just fineā¦(loving every minute of it, in fact) ā¦until I hit menopause. I would never regret him, butā¦the older I get, the harder parenting gets. I am grateful he is the only one right now. Also, keep in mind that your parents are aging as well (I donāt know if your close or not)
But I found myself taking care of kids and parentsā¦it is hard.
I at least wanted to let you know these things are a possibility. I really never thought about teen years with my kido. NOBODY really explains menopause to us. It can be EXTREMLY difficult for some. That being said, there isnāt any reason that you cannot have a healthy happy baby in your late 30s.
Always follow your heart

I was 35 when I started having my children and I had my last one at 39. My doctor told me I was made to have babies and my pregnancies got better the more I got pregnant. you know YOUR body better than your doctor. I agree that your child needs a sibling. Have another one.
My mom had me at 37 and Iām fine.
My hubby had 2 sons before we metā¦ they are almost 25 and 23, we had a son together very early in our relationship and heās now 12 and we also have a little girl who is almost 3! So we have big age gaps and I was 33 with her and he was 37. I say if you have the energy and can do itā¦ have another! Itās your life and you have to live it! No one else!

I know women who are 39, 40 having babies. Itās no longer āweirdā to have them at an older age. ( Not that I thought it was weird but you get what Iām saying). I want another within the next few years and Iām turning 38 next month.
My mom had my brother at 37
Iād do it. Honestly we have kids 21-11 and then a 3 year old. The other kids had each other growing up and played so well together. My 3 year old needs our constant attention because he has no one else to play with.
I had my last at 38. No more difficult than my others. If you want another go for it.
I was 40 with my last so go for it 
If you want another have another 
I by surprise had my 4th one at 38 years old. There are risks but you have already covered all the bases on that so if your husband and you agree to it there is nothing wrong with having another one.
Just had my 3rd at 37. My family is complete 
Had mine at 37 and 41. Js
I had my youngest at 41. I will say the older you get, the harder it is on your body. This being said, I worked full time until 4 days before he was bornā¦I worked at target and by the afternoon, my hips hurt so bad I could bark walk. But he is amazing and I would trade him for the world!

My mother- in - law was 43 when she had her last one. and I was 36 when I had my last.
If its something you both want, do it. What matters is youāre in this together. If youāre both on board, what anyone else thinks is irrelevant.
I had my son at 41. I say if your Doctor says itās a go then do it! It is your journey and if you have love to give then give it!

Iām in my early 40ās and have a 2 1/2 year old and am having a baby in May. We also wanted a sibling for our daughter so that she would have someone. My 2 1/2 is healthy and doing good. So far our new addition is doing good inside me so I am not worried. My husband still wants to try again for a boy after this. I think having children while I am older keeps me young and I enjoy it.

I had my 4th at age 38, 3 years ago. Best. Surprise. Ever. My BFF had her first at the same time, same age. Age 38-45 is no longer considered āoldā to have a baby. I say go for it!!
I would go for it. I was almost 36 when I had my only son. People have children much older than you. Youāll regret it if you donāt. Then that could cause marital problems.
Go for it Iāve seen 45 year old women have healthy babies!

I was 41 with my last one. It is harder on your body the older you get, and your child could have more issues than if you were younger. Mine is autistic. But I really understand that only child part. That being said, if you and your husband want one thatās your business, but Iād recommend starting right away. Best wishes either way.

Iām not being rude why not talk it over with your partner and doctors and just try not using birth control and see what may happen and if it doesnāt work out in like 6 months then try to add meds or other ways doctors may suggest
Go for it. Congratulations!

I had my last at 38. We were the same except both had kids from previous relationship. My eldest and youngest are 10 yrs apart. I would be lost without all my kids (5 in total. Those that are my biological and those that arent. They all get along so well and love each other so much). My 2 youngest are now 14 and 15 and whilst some days are hard, I donāt regret it 1 bit. Best decision we ever made having our 2 together so close.
My son was born about 6 week prematurely and it was about a month before I turned 37. I would have had another immediately if that had been possible. I am a retired RN.
As long as your Doc said it was okā¦ go for it!!!
My husband and I have 3 children right now and currently are pregnant with our 4th. Our daughters are 10 (11 in march) 5 and 10months (1 in march) we are 37 and 38. Iāll be 38 in April and he will be 39 in July. The baby is due in July but Iāll be induced in June. Our youngest will only be 15 months when we have the baby.
Can you afford to raise another child?

Had twins at 35 no problem in fact a double blessing0
I sayā¦ā¦ Get Busy in the bedroom!!!
If your both willing to try then try and if it happens it happens
Go for it !!! Itās all in the attitude. If you incorporate the babyās/childās life into yours, you should have no problems. People would tell me, āBabies change your life and youāll have no time for yourselfā.ā By having a baby/child revolving around you and your life, you teach them many things and enjoy their life with yours. Works out much better in the long run.
I had my last at 42, he was my fifth but his Daddyās one and only. There is a 16 1/2yr difference between my last 2. You have a many as you want and can handle as long as itās safe for you. We stopped at just the one cause of my health.
I think if its what you want and you can afford it then why not. I have two 8 yr olds (almost 9, 1 step, 1 bio) and together we have a 15 month old. I would love to have another so lottle one has a sibling of closer age but financially we canāt afford another.

37/38 in far from being to old. You probably think that because you have older kids. My best friend got married for second time age 41 she now has had 2 healthy babies she is now 44. Lady baby is 9 months old her oldest child is 21 from her first marriage. So go for it

I had my last baby at 40 years old. I have 8 kids. He was my last baby by choice. My pregnancy was all good. I would say go for it! Children are so precious.
My mom was 40 when she had my sister.
Do it. If u can get pregnant and have a healthy baby why not. Your only 3 years older than me. Ur not as old as you think I just had twins and didnāt plan on it and had a baby 14 months ago as well everything happens for a reason. You were meant to have babies at this age so that your husband could experience fatherhood.
The only reason I would say no is if it was gonna hurt you or baby health wise. Go for it
I was 37 when I had my second SON. He is 40 and very healthy . I am 77 and very healthy . Yes you should try . You sound like you wonderful mother and he like a wonderful father. May God Bless You.

I had my first 1 month before I turned 40 and my last 1 month before I turned 45.
My mom had my sister at 40. She was not planned but she is literally the best thing that has happened to our family! My mom worked 12 hrs days up until she was 34 weeks and then had to go on bed rest. There is always risks with every pregnancy but if you want one dont let anyone else tell you what to do.
