i'm 42 and have 2 dds (11 and 7 y.o.) and i find motherhood to be a killer job. so difficult, and it doesn't help that my older one is 11 going on 17. i mulled over it for a very short time and then decided that i'm happy to move on to the next stage. i doubt i could handle the waking up in the night again, nursing, etc. but that's just me. in this day and age, i think anything goes and over 43 really isn't as old as it used to be!

at this point I would only consider a third. it was more in reference to maternal age than to how many dcs. [ Reply | More
