To wait or not to wait?

Question

I had my first child at 31 and my second at almost 34. I had no trouble conceiving either time. We want a third child and I would ideally like to wait a little longer to separate the ages, but I am nervous that it will be difficult to conceive if we wait. If we try on the earlier side (assuming no difficulties), I would be 35 at the time of birth. If we wait, I would be almost 37. 
Help!! What would you do?

Answer

It depends on when you feel ready. Don’t feel pressured to start just because of a number. If you’re ready, go for it. If not, then age is just a number.

Answer

I would do it when you’re ready. I had my first at 25. Second at 29. And now my third will be at 31. I personally don’t want to be pregnant after 35 but that’s just me. Plenty women have babies in their late 30s.

Answer

For me personally I conceived my first, second and third really easy(within two cycles each try and didn't track anything, I just went by glows expected fertile period). Month 13 TTC num four with no luck 😅 tracking bbt, using ovulation tests, pre seed 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I got pregnant with my son from the frist try at 33. Then we wanted a second one , I got pregnant on the second month TTC  in December,  I was 37. Lost the baby, got pregnant again last month  at 38 from the first try.  So it seems that for me,  age didn't mess up my ability to get pregnant.

Answer

I wouldn't put it off much longer. Honestly just think about risks and benefits of both.

Answer

My mom had me and my brother with almost 37 and almost 40. both healthy, had no complications🧚‍♀️

Answer

I had my first two at 29 and 30 and then I had my third at 32 and I’m currently pregnant with my fourth and I’ll be 34. Honestly my third pregnancy was the worst. My body was so broken down from doing it twice before. I’m not that far along in my fourth but I’m sure it will be a hard one too. Also the third baby I personally think is the hardest. Idk it’s hard to explain why it is but my husband and I really struggled. Personally I’d do it sooner rather than later but that’s up to you and when you and your partner are ready.

Answer

You never know what will happen. Do what feels right for you. Unfortunately secondary infertility is a thing. I had my first at 19, second at 22 and third at 23. I wanted my fourth to be close too, so we started TTC when my youngest was 1 year old. We TTC for 3 years, had 6 losses and are finally 32wweks with my rainbow baby. My youngest daughter will now me 4 1/2 years old when baby is here.. it doesn't always go to plan. And I'm only 28 years old ATM, all tests came back clear so I'm healthy too. There is literally no reason and no risk for my fertility issues.

Answer

My husband and I have a2.5 year old and I’m currently 38+4 weeks pregnant I’m 36 years old and my husband is 46 - this is our last child but for me it has been tougher this pregnancy on my body than my last because of my age I’m classed as “ an older mother” can’t remember the proper term and so it’s more high risk because of my age also and this pregnancy I got GD . I didn’t with my others .
