Ha, I had a single baby daughter, and thought it would be nice to have one more. I gave birth to boy/girl twins in November. When I found out, I thought for sure I would be done. But now that the babies are getting older, and life is getting a little easier, I keep thinking how nice it would be to maybe just have one more. But I am 38, and unfortunately I don't have that much time left to wait around to make the decision if I don't want all of my kids to be spaced so close together. Its more a personal thing though, I am not sure if I want to be pregnant after age 41.

I think it all depends on each woman. Age-wise, I think you are fine. But, I think that you have to be onboard with this. Even if you dh wants one more, if you don't than that should be that.

Children are a blessing whenever they come.

I hate when people thinks they have the tight to comment on what is right or not for you. You are not too old in your 30s in any way. When you reach your 40s there are increased risks but if you are healthy that's all that matter. I have seen, as have most of us, people in their 20's being unhealthy, always tired/low energy. How are they better off than someone who is at top health and in their 40's?

What age? The age when she can no longer conceive. As long as she can suppoty the baby - it is her business.

Age is an asset when it comes to parenting. If she and her SO can support the baby - it's no ones business. Same if she wants to parent while single.
