I don`t think so at all! My mom was 43 with her last and my dad just hit 50

I certainly hope not. My hubby is 43 and I`m going to be 35 in Jan. We had our first son on May 5th 2008 and I`m looking forward to having another one. I don`t want to wait too terribly long before having another but I don`t think it`s too old at all!

my parents had 6 kids, the youngest they had when my mom was 37 and my dad was 50!

Nope!! Not too old. :) I`m 40. We`ve got a 14 month old and a 1 month old. I`ve also got a 22 year old daughter from a teen pregnancy. My daughter is now engaged, getting married in Feb. and will be starting her own family soon... so I`ll probably be a grandma by the time I`m 42. haha. That sounds crazy... but awesome. I wouldn`t change a thing in my world.

my husbands parents were both in their 40`s when they had him. I`m glad they didn`t think they were too old to have kids, because they made the most wonderful man around :)

Having a 3rd baby at 40 is the best thing I`ve ever done!!!!!! SO much easier then my first two :) Harder on my body but life after and how I feel about a baby later in life has been great. SO much less stress. I dont feel like I`m missing out on things staying at home doing nothing because I`ve already done all that, lol. I dont stress at all ~ much easier, highly recommend it :) We all will die someday some sooner then others so being older means nothing to me ~ you cant live your life based on how many years you have left cause you never know ~ do it now while you can, who cares what tomorrow brings ~ cross that bridge when you get there :)

I will be 40 in a few days and my husband just turned 45...our baby was 3 months on Saturday....we have a 18 yr old and 13 yr old.....other than my lower back hurting LOL it is great!!! I am more patient.....I recommend it to anyone that can still have children to do so....he is such a blessing!!!

my hubby is 36 and we just had a baby,,,,im younger 29...i think you should have kids...just remember a 20 year commitment at least hehehe

juno (1199 days ago)
I don`t think so, if it`s something they want to do. I have some friends who had a daughter at 41(her) and 54(him), and my aunt had a daughter at 43 years old.

Kevinsmilfx2 (1199 days ago)
Never too old!!! If you and your SO are up to it, go for it! My aunt had a baby when she was 52... 37 and 45 makes you a `lightweight` in her book, lol! ;-D Do it!!!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
