How old is too old?

Hi Shardz, No it's not crazy to try for another baby at 40. If both you and your partner want another baby and you're both healthy and can support a sixth child then go for it.

I'm 47 with almost ten week old twin girls. Admittedly we'd ben trying for over nine years. We're loving every minute despite my physical difficulties.

Forgot to say that I have three grown up children and grandchildren

Go for it. If u want and have the energy

I have 3 and I'm 34 I always said none after 30 and managed have all mine before 30 . As I juat feel to tired now haha and I like that I'm one of the younger mums for my one in high school .

Life's to short so I'd say go for it if u can financially and physically afford too.

On my husbands account hence the name lol

Well here’s my story. I had 2 children with my late partner who sadly passed away and I went onto meet someone else a few years after he died and had a daughter but that relationship was toxic. I finally got with the man I adored from 18 years old and we got together when I was 36 we had children from previous relationships but I desperately wanted a child with the man I was spending the rest of my life with. We had 2 miscarriages and when we weren’t expecting it I fell pregnant at 40 and now my 4 month old is amazing I don’t feel any different to how I did when I was younger. I am more patient and yes I do have a 19, 16 snd 10 year old so massive gap but as they’ve grown up and independent my relationship with my youngest is very special. Go for it I say

Ps we have my partners son who’s 12 live with us and have his other son every other weekend it’s a busy household but everyone is happy with our new addition

My aunty and her daughter had a baby in the same year.

uncle and nephew went to nursery together. I dont think that its odd at all.

if you both want it and know the risks then go ahead its your life at the end of the day. Good luck

No it to late love you can have baby at 45

I M sorry if it was me I would certainly pack in! 6 having lots of children is well too enough.People who have that many must have started when they were 18yrs old.Bad enough having one at just over 40yrs old as I did I certainly don’t want another find it hard work, must be mad.

I’m 43 and my partner just asked me last night if I plan on having more kids. I would love to if I could. It’s one of those sticky situations that I try not to think about. I struggled to conceive with my youngest so there’s a part of me that says that ship of more kids has already sailed but I know deep down I would love to have 1 more. If you feel you can handle it go for it.

i'm 37 and just found out we are pregnant with baby number 6 lots of women are having babies a lot older now i think of you both want it just go for it

and i'll add my husband is 49 he will be 50 when our baby arrives

Congrats! Hope everything goes well for you both. I agree with you, if you can manage physically and financially go for it. I'd love another - number 6 - but at 47 it's a very long shot but who knows?

39 is not old. A lot of parents are in their mid toate thirties now for a variety of reasons such as meeting someone compatible, education, career, financial and so on.

Good Luck!

If you feel physically able to, and you can afford it, why not!

Good luck with whatever you decide.
