I will say it harder physically with a small one now then it was when I was 20 and 23. I do have a bit more understanding and appreciation now. I wouldn't have intentionally gotten pregant at this late in the game but having our Gracie placed in our hearts, it is a bit different.
The more you complain, the longer God makes you live.

I have one child, I had him when I was 18 & I'm 36 now. I will not have anymore (thankgoodness), my sons is almost 18. No way in hell would I ever raise another child, I don't care who's child it maybe.. One was enough..
I think over 40 is a bit old to be having children.

I had mine when I was 15, 18, 21, and 22. Now I'm 33, sometimes I want another one at other times I'm happy they are the ages they are and that I can't have anymore. My patience level is getting very thin some days between work and the kids and I'm not sure I could handle another infant. However age wise most of my friends are just now starting their families, so I don't think it is too old by any means.

I had my daughter at 19 and my twin sons at 22 - after that my husband said ABSOLUTELY no more (he was terrified we would have another set of twins). Somedays I would love to have another one but then come to my senses and think about the kids I have and how it probably wouldn't be fair to them. I didn't really base my decision to not have any more on my age but more so the age of my kids now. They are 15 & 12 - we are always on the go for sports and friends and activities - I'm just afraid that if I have another baby I won't be able to go to their games when it's 20 degrees outside or when it's raining and missing a game is not a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I had my kids when I was between 18 and 25 and have been thinking that I may want another baby in a few years (when I'm 35/36... and no more after that).

I had my son at 26, and then I had 3 miscarriages after that when I was 35. But he had a daughter at age 17 and he got divorced and was living with me and we got his daughter when I was 45, he worked days went to school nights, and then they got back together with his ex and I kept my granddaughter till she was 6, she didn't want to go home with them, but we moved in with her parents the day her brother was born and I took care of him for 15 mths, my son has custody of both of them and I am the one that is there for the soccer and all the other stuff, and keep them alot every other weekend, now 52.

I was 22,24 and 29 when I had mine and was done and happy I finished before I hit the big 3-0.Ten years later after having what I thought were symptoms of early menopause,I realized I was pregnant with #4.The pregnancy was much more difficult as was the starting over again.I don't regret it at all,even on my bad days.You are NOT too old.However if you don't want to do it again,I don't think you should.Your body,your choice.If you feel like you are done,no way should you go through that.

I'll tell you in an email.
ETA: Let me just state so no one thinks I hate my son. I don't hate my son & my thoughts about what I stated has nothing to do with my son. I was very lucky my child very seldom cried, whined, bi*ched... He's an outstanding young man & I'm very proud of him..I couldn't have asked for a more perfect kid.
I had to say something, I know how people are on here can turn nothing into something. I just wanted to clarify so I don't have it thrown in my face at a later time.

I will not physically have another child myself. Congrats to you and your dh for having Gracie, but myself...no more.
