(75 Posts)
A bit of background...currently 38 and so is my electric current partner. Neither of united states already have children, both of us would like to take them, if possible.
Is 38 too old to endeavor and conceive or take a babe?
Goodness no! Why would you think such a thing?
How do you feel? Do you experience to old? Simply you lot can answer that!
Loads of ladies on here who have had babies well into 40s so I'm sure yous will take plenty of advice coming shortly!
Absolutely not!
My friend has just had a infant at 39.
She's a fantastic mum.
Become for it.
If information technology is, I'k screwed! I'm 40, dh is 46 and nosotros're due our offset dc in 8 weeks 
Not if y'all want to endeavour. I had mine at 37 and 40 ��
I do think that I'd have had a less stressful pregnancy without the worry of trisomy abnormalities, pre eclampsia, being chosen a geriatric female parent etc - thankfully my babe and pregnancy, health wise, has been trouble free. And we're in a comfortable position so I haven't got to worry well-nigh returning to work for fiscal reasons. I may detect it more than tiring that someone younger than me, but I'k a adequately immature and fit twoscore so all my energy tin become into the infant. I'm excited and I don't call back it could take happened at a better time for us.
Then I waited till I was also old!
It is for me, only might not be for yous I had all 3 of mine between ages 25 and 30 and accept simply got my life dorsum. Am in the best shape of my life and happier than I've ever been before, have more time with DH and am really enjoying parenting two pre-teens and one teenager. We are more than comfortable now, kids are in school and then I can concentrate on my passions: my horse and my dogs. Having a baby now would be my worst nightmare. I got that all out of the fashion in my twenties...no way I want to cope with chasing toddlers and sleepless nights now.

I had my DS at 39. I know several women who had babies in their 40s.
Alt.ough at 38 I'd propose yous don't procrastinate likewise long
Well it might exist better to have a infant at xxx than 38, but that isn't an pick, your choice is whether to accept ane at 38 or not at all.
I had my DD at 34 and am pregnant with dc2 at 37. I am a fleck more than knackered this time but that's probably more to do with having a toddler. It is definitely doable and touch woods I haven't had any major issues.
Nope, I was 37 when conceived and will be 38 when give birth.
I had my kickoff at 41 and my second at 43. Conceived with the ease of a teenager each time. 38 is pretty common these days isn't information technology? Most of my friends had their offset at effectually 37/38
I had my first at 37 and now significant again and due simply after I plow 41. What worries y'all about your age?
Definitely non too old, I had DS 4 at 41 and had no bug, in fact had a meliorate pregnancy than I did with the other DCs over 20 years ago! I say go for it
I had dc3 at 38. Not also old at all.
I had one at 42. All fine.
Get for it!
Non too sometime at all.
Although I wouldn't be hanging around if we both wanted them with each other and were confident in the relationship lasting.
absolutely not. If you and your partner want children and can offer them a loving and stable home, go for it!
I had DD at 37.
I know of several women friends, neighbour who have conceived and had healthy babies in 30s and 40s, acquaintance was 43/44
Non at all! I had my son at 44 and apart from a chip more stiffness from sitting on the flooring with him we're doing merely fine!
Caramel I know of several of my mum's friends who had 'surprises' at 46/47 even. babies perfectly healthy. my boss - his mum had him when she was 45.

I had DC1 at age 40 and DC2 at age 42, and no, I don't feel too old. (Plus I was too busy doing other stuff in my 20s and early on 30s, not gear up to kickoff a family and so took years to find the right gars.)
Having said that, we started ttc when I was 38 and went through an ectopic, IVF and pre-eclampsia before we got our two DCs. Mayhap that would have happened anyway, whatever my historic period, perhaps non. Just if y'all and your partner know you both want a child(ren), my advice would be to kickoff trying sooner rather than later.
