Getting Pregnant At 40

[black_cat51]

hi, i would like to ask what the general opinion is about older mums. My family feels as if it could do with another person in it, but i am now 40 and i wonder about any baby feeling pretty miffed about having such a geriatric mum. I know people are having their babies later as a general trend (look at halle berry!), but i do worry that people will think i'm odd

Black_cat, totally agree - we really thought it through before each of ours. My only slight regret is that the gap between boy #1 and boy #2 is a bit bigger than I would ideally have liked (forgot to factor in the being pregnant for nine months bit) but if it had happened differently then we wouldn't have the children we have now.
