Almost 40 and new baby

I’m pushing 40 ( late 30s) and my partner wants a baby I want to have a baby with him he will make a wonderful father and I’d love to have a baby with him but so scared of my age and plus I have teenagers 16 and 14 ( they want us to have a child so no issues there ) have any other mums been through this and what has been your experience

Hi I haven’t but I definitely wouldn’t if I had teenagers sorry. If you feel it’s what you really want then go for it xxxx.

I wouldn't risk the health issues babies from geriatric pregnancies can have.

With all due respect, your teenagers don't get to have a say. They aren't the ones who have to raise and provide everything this child would need. A new baby is nothing more than a novelty to them!

Second thing to consider is the future. Say you're 42 by the time baby is conceived and born, you'll be 60 by the time that child is 18. Do you really want to be doing the teen years all over again when you're pushing 60?
