2nd child at 39???

[Shan19]

I have an almost two year old....had him at 36. Im now considering trying for a 2nd child in the spring...so that will make me 39 for the 2nd delivery. Im scared....anyone have any encouraging or discouraging thoughts for me? BE HONEST PLEASE.

Well, I was 33, 36, and now im 10 weeks and im 39 years old. This one was not planned, but neither were the first two. Im experiencing alot of ambivalence this pregnancy bc I have health issues and Ive got alot going on this year, but I guess they come when you least expect and at a time when you don't have time for yourself much less a pregnancy.

Well...Im overweight and have high trigylcerides. But other than that no health problems.

As long as you don't have underlying health issues do it!   That'll be nice spacing for the kids.  My husband is 2 yrs younger than his closest brother. They got along well.

My mother in law had my husband (her first) at 38 and went on to have 3 more children, the last being when she was 45. They all went pretty well. I know it's different for everyone, but she has been there.
