Too old to have a baby!?

Drea

Hello first time posting and I'm happy to have found this board. I'm just curious if any of you have been told you're too old to have a baby. I'm 33 and hubby is 36. We've had to wait to have a child for reasons beyond our control and also because we both wanted to be established and travel. I am last in my big family to have children. My 23 year old brother even has children. Lately, my cousins (who I've always been close with) have been constantly bringing up the fact that I'm just too old to handle a baby and that I'd regret it. I am great with children. They had children in high school and their early twenties. It's very shocking to me especially since I've lost a child in the past and struggle with infertility. A child would be a dream come true for hubby and I. I'm so sad they don't support me. How do I detour the conversation when they start to put me down for wanting a child?
