OMG you guys are wonderful. I think I'm gonna do it. Besides my kids are a little older now too and they are not as dependent upon me as they used to be. I have just been aching to have another baby which is probably why I started doing daycare again. But it's not the same. I can't wait to have my own again. I am so looking forward to feeling a kicking baby inside of me again and being able to do all of the things with it that I could not afford to do with my older kids. I just need to find myself a really good doctor because my other pregnancies were a little high risk. I didn't have any health problems during pregnancy but they called them high risk because my very first child was stillborn during my 7th month of pregnancy, but I did not have any problems with any of my other ones. Just keep me in your prayers.

In comment to Flicka's post, I found it no harder really being pregnant for my last child at 41 than I did with my first at 21. In fact I probably had more aches and pains with number 1 than # 5. There were no problems with the pregnancy and I didn't go through all the genetic testing they would have liked me to have. I knew he was okay and even if he hadn't been.. I would rather have him than not have him no matter how he might have come out. He was perfect and probably more healthy all round than my others were when they were infants.

BBB, I had my 1st (& only) at 46. I was really lucky and it was a picture perfect pregnancy(would have even been good for a 20 yr old)While that is obviously no guarrantee that any one else would have a good pregnancy while older,there is no reason,unless you are not in good health, to assume you will have any more problems than a younger woman. Just take good care of your self and do the right things while pregnant.
My girl turned 10 in last Dec,and yes,she keeps me running!

BBB go ahead and do it. If you have the love, the money and the support go for it. I had my first at 38 and my second at 43. I was ready at 32, but didn't meet my husband until I turned 37. That's just the way things happened. My children have definitely kept me young...and in shape. All the best.

Sorry I think I deleted my last comment but I will let you guys know what we decide because I will need all the support that I can get.

Hello Everyone, My name is Trina. I just joined twittermoms. I joined this group because I want to be able to see what other moms have to say before I begin my journey of having another baby. I will be 38 this year and my husband and I already have 3 kids (16,13 and 9). I want to have one more child before my age increases too much. I was afraid to at first because of how old I will be. You always here people say that its much harder on you if you have a baby after the age of 35. Was it physically any harder on any of you all? Am I crazy for wanting to have another child late in my 30's?

Hi ladies, My name is Deb. I just joined Twittermoms yesterday.. Love it so far. I had 4 of my children in my 20s and didn't ever think that I would have another in my 40s but I had a very wonderful surprise come along when I was 41. He's the product of my current marriage and is the apple of my eye. He is a blessing to my husband and I as he is my husbands first and only child. I was more than happy to be able to give him a baby and all the experiences and love that go along with him. Our Rob is 7 today and as cute and smart as ever.
I look forward to speaking with other mommies here. Feel free to say hello and be a friend. Deb
