Time running out

Thread Starter 
Do any of you "mature" moms feel like time is running out to have more children? Or do you even want more at our "advanced maternal age"? I'm 35 and have 3 incredible children. My third, my girl, will be 1 tomorrow and I just weaned her from breastfeeding. I can't get over wanting another baby, but I don't want them too close together, and yet I don't want to put myself or any babies at risk (b/c of my age). And I want plenty of time on earth with all my children. I'm also in this wierd place socially where the parents of my oldest's friends all had children in their early-mid twenties (he's 9 and going into the 4th grade), and then there's the other group of parents of kids the babies ages (3 1/2 & 1)who didn't have kids until their 30's and only wanted 1 or 2. So I don't know anyone with a spread-out family like mine who have multiple children over the course of 10 years... Help?

I know how you feel, but Sarah's my last one. Both children were very difficult pregnancies and births so we're not having anymore. I think I'm pretty happy with the two I've got, I feel pretty lucky to even have them with all I've gone through!

I feel 45 is old enough, to stop having kids. Women now are having a family at age 40. You have time. Hang in there and space them like you want too.

Wifes tale I think that is now. For being to old to have kids.

In the bible somewhere in the begining Abrahm wife Sarah gave birth to her last child at age 500. I know that is not safe so don't try it. LOL

I am thirty and I would like to have at least one more baby...sometime before I am 35. I think its gets harder as you get older...harder on your body. PLUS when I was in my twenties I could miss sleep and I didnt care...now I need 40 winks everynight! I just cant cope when I am tired.
For us...35 is the end for me...all babies to be born before 35.
Hopefully God agrees

Blessings
