What age do you want to be done having kids?

Is their an age that is too old for YOU?

ShannonMVT · #2 April 26th, 2011, 06:20 PM

At one point I wanted to be done before age 30, haha. I am 30 years old now though.

I think too old for me would be 35.

For me I want to be done by 30. after 30 is too old. At 30yrs old Seamus will be 11 and because of that reason alone 30 is too old for me and too large of an age gap between first and last born. It would remind me of dh and his brothers relationship...non-existent.

For me, 35 would be too old. I always said I wanted to be done having kids by the time I was 35. I'll be 33 in June so almost there. Who knows what the future holds for us though. I always make all these plans and just about none of them have worked out.

I want to be done by the time I am 30.. I think for me 35-36 would be too old.

I want to have my two before 30, but I think if I ever wanted to have more, 40 would be my limit, but it really will depend how I feel at the time.

Anything past 30 is too old for ME. I will hopefully be done by the time I'm 27-28. I would like to be a young hot mom of teenagers... I have the young part done! HAHA.

What age do you want to be done having kids? I'd like to be done by 35, but I'm almost 30 now and if it's hard for us to get pregnant, then it might take longer

Is their an age that is too old for YOU? I think past 40, just because I'd like to have the possibility of enjoying grand kids.

My age limit is more with my dh than me since he is eight years older than me. My parents are on the older side. My dad was around forty when they had me. I wish he was younger so I could have more time with him and have him around as Charlotte gets older. Because of that, I was wanting to have all of my kids by early thirties. But since dh is so much older than me, it is more like have the kids before he turns forty. I don't know if it will happen though since he is about to turn 35 and we aren't exactly speedy in getting pregnant. But who knows, I wanted my kids close together so maybe I'll just have them all back to back!

Oh gosh, for many years I have said 30 but as time went on I felt like that as long as we wanted children and I was healthy and fertile then it wouldn't matter. Strangely enough though, this baby is due 9 days before my 30th bday and we have decided that he is our last. Strange how that worked out

BUT if for some reason we wanted another kid in 3-4 years then I wouldn't feel like I was too old.

Oh, my DH will be 41 when this baby arrive.

Resi · #12 April 27th, 2011, 09:49 AM

I'll be 33 in August and had Oliver at 30. I didn't want to have my first until I turned 30. I wanted my 20's for me (and DH when he came into the picture).

I'd like to be done no later than 35 and I hope that will happen considering we only want one more child. I know I'd be considered high risk after 35 so that is the main reason for that age. I think 40 would be the oldest but that is without knowing the future.

^-- ditto

I had my first child when I was 30.. I had my time in my 20's and got my life in order, stable job,etc.... Worked out great for me..

But I think the age of 38 is the oldest for me..

MissusF · #14 April 27th, 2011, 05:24 PM

I would like to be done by 35. I'm 27 now and since I only plan to have 2 or 3 that gives me plenty of time. If the unforeseen happens and I have fertility issues or remarry (I really hope this one doesn't happen, hah!) I wouldn't have a problem having babies into my 40's as long as my health was good.

~Caroline~ · #15 April 28th, 2011, 10:48 AM

I was hoping to be done by the time I was 35 but if we do ever decide to try for a second, I'll most likely be older than that. I'm 33 right now and I don't even want to think about #2 for the next year or so. And since it took forever to conceive Julien, I'm guessing it could still take some time for a second. So we'll see. I don't think I'd want to try past 40 though, but who knows how I'll feel when I get there.

CandaceDianne · #16 April 28th, 2011, 10:59 AM

I think 35 is the max because I am not sure I would have the energy! LOL

thepinkleprechaun · #17 April 28th, 2011, 11:17 AM

I'm done NOW and I'm only 24, but it's really more because I wanted to have all my kids at one time and have them fairly close together in age. I want to be done with diapers and move on- not have everything spread out and have to take a step backwards!

Mars · #18 April 28th, 2011, 06:11 PM

35 is my age limit. I don't really think any age is too old as long as the person is healthy and capable of caring for the little one. Of course, the chances of diseases like downs syndrome, etc increases so I think that should also be considered.

*JenJen* · #19 April 29th, 2011, 01:31 PM

Probably 30, at the oldest 35. For me, a big part is how long I can deal with the endo pain.

.Brandi. · #20 April 29th, 2011, 02:01 PM

35 is done for me! I think I can squeeze in another 2 or 3 pregnancies if I get over my stomach muscles tearing! That will put right at 35 when the youngest is born, and all the kids (expect Preston and Mason) will be 3 years apart and I like that gap.
