Do I think to much

Question

Is it ok the have a baby at the age 40 or iam I out of line here I already have two that are adults now Iam wrong starting over.

Answer

There are a lot of moms who do! As long a you get the all clear from the doctor and are in good health there shouldn't be an issue. Personally, I wouldn't make that decision because I'm the child of older parents and hate it. It made me choose to have my children young and close together then make sure it was almost impossible to have children past an age I was uncomfortable. My MUCH older brother chose to be an older parent with his even older wife just like our parents did when they had me. His son is MUCH younger than his step daughter and will be an only child just like my brother and I both were. He likes the dynamic, but I hated it. To each their own.

Answer

I had one at 37, 40 and 43 so I hope it’s ok! I am a better mom than I would have been in my 20’s or early 30’s.

Answer

I had my youngest at 37 and wouldve had another in my early 40, but I have a heart issue (have had it for years) thats been acting up. I have a few friends who had kids in their early 40s though. I see nothing wrong with it.

Answer

Lots of people don’t start their families until their 40s these days. There are benefits to that: more life experience, usually better income, often more comfortable lives overall. The downsides: Pregnancy is  riskier, your overall health and energy might not be as good, you will be an aging parent earlier on in your child’s life.
Since you already have two grown children I’d do my best to nurture a relationship between them and their new sibling. That way they’ll have a larger community to fall back on as you age. And that’s not to say you’ll be an invalid or anything (after all, you’ll only be 60 when they’re 20), but it’s helpful having more people around as older family members need more care.
