The woman at church was not happy (and no, she wasn't trying to get pregnant at all, she thought she was done with babies). I think it would be nice to have twins though in a year or two, preferably one of each and then be done with having babies.
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.

for what its worth, my son (at mid forties and unplanned,) was the easiest. He has also been the 'easiest' child.Not in our plans, but
Meant to be
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.
I don’t think anyone has the right to judge someone else’s reproductive choices. I had my son at 32, and my daughter was adopted when I had just turned 38. I had some family members say I was "too old" for a second baby, never mind adopting one. My husband and I disagreed, and moved forward with our daughter's adoption. She is now 8, and my son is 14.
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.
