Hi, I am 38 years old... have 2 children aged 10 and 8. Not sure if I feel like I am 'done' having children yet. But on the other hand not sure if I want to go ahead and have another one.... mainly due my age and the large gap it would mean between my 2 older kids and a new baby. Looking for any advice from others who have been in this kind of situation, thanks

Age gap shouldn't even come into it.
All that matters is you and your partner both want a baby, you can financially support another baby, and you can emotionally support another baby.
My brother in law has a 10 year age gap between him and his sister and they are very close. Personality plays a bigger part than age gaps ;)
I'm in exactly this situation my two are 10 & 8 and we've just today had our dating scan for baby 3 who is 9 weeks 4 days. It feels a little strange looking at the baby stuff when we're so far removed from it now but I wasn't quite ready to be finished yet and we thought before getting any older that now would be a good time :) it's a very personal choice good luck xx
