37 yrs old

I'm 37 and considering another child, I feel like I may be too old...of there are any expecting mothers at this age, please give me your input...I am torn because I'm so grateful for my daughter, but I feel like I am supposed to have one more. Feeling slightly confused.

Just started having kids. My 20s & early 30s were really fun & I had lots of freedom but I'm past that stage now. We're financially able and truly enjoy being parents which was important to us.  We watched some of our friends & siblings struggle with finances & emotional immaturity.  Dont make yourself older than you are. Stay healthy and you will be young forever.

I am 38 and 24 weeks pregnant with my first. I don't know why you would think you're to old, but you're definitely not :)

I am pregnant with my 2nd child.  I will be 37 before my son is born.  My daughter is 2 & 1/2. You are not too old. If you want another baby, go for it.
