Am I too old???

Question

So I’m a little overweight and I’m turning 39 this year...partner and I been bouncing another baby back and forth. Should I go for it or am I to old? Worried about the toll on my body (had 4 kids) and I’m already overweight a little and I’ve heard  there is more risk to baby over 35. Plus there are a lot of judgy people out there

Answer

Don’t worry about judgy people. Think about what is best for your body, your life, and your family.

Answer

If you worry about how your body will handle a fifth pregnancy; talk to your doctor. “Too old” is a silly phrase. I’m 32 going on 33. Apparently, I’m “old.” People don’t really know anything. The human body is a mystery. It’s your body that matters. Ask yourself: Do I want a pregnancy or do I want a baby? Adoption is always an option. If my husband and I fail, that will be my next choice. I just want to be a mom.
Look at your life right now. Get to a healthy weight, work on cutting any habits that could effect you. Watch your stress levels. Maybe make a baby plan together. Check insurance, make sure they will cover you Incase something did happen. You obviously are a strong woman with four kids. At the end, you are a five star mom.

Answer

If you want another then go for it and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks! I’m 38 and trying for a 4th. My kids are 17, 16, (from a  previous marriage) and 17 months.

Answer

If you want another then do it. Don’t regret it later, when it actually is too late!

Answer

You’ll have to undergo more testing and be considered “high-risk” (anyone 35 and over is considered that) but if you have the love, time and the financial means to support another baby, then go for it!
