Starting over at 33 Yrs Old

I say go for it as long as you both want it. I had my DS when I was 33, and wanted more, but due to my husbands health I finally gave up on the dream of having another child. I'm one of six (#6). Actually, when I was born my oldest brother was 16. I would have to say my Mom didn't regret starting over at 36. :-D

I think 33 is still young. I am 37 and have a 16 yr old and have a 29 month old. I know there is a big difference in age but still would Love the chance to have one or two more children when and if I find the man of my dreams.

I would love to give my husband the opportunity to be a father and share the experiences w/my husband that I have experienced.

Good luck and i hope this helps.

Go for it! You are still young and you already have 3 babysitters. :) LOL

HI! I am 28 years old and have one child who is 6 mnths old. My dad is 52 and has a 6 year old daughter. My dad and stepmom decided to have a baby in their forties. At first, I thought that they were crazy. I was actually mad at them. But then my dad was explaining to me that when all of us (I have two little brothers as well) were little that he had to work so much to try to provide and he was still learning how to grow up and experiance life. He said he was involved with our childhood (which he was very much) but not like he wanted to be. Now, with my little sister, he is completly different dad. He still works full time but he has realized whats more important that staying up to finish that report.....instead...he goes outside and plays with her. Of course you will never regret having a baby but being a bit older and wiser....it might even be the best thing you have ever done!

33 is still young. I'm 31 and just had my first last year.
I'm sure you're husband would love to have a child of his own but it should be something you both want and agree on. Maybe this time you'll have a little boy. Little boys are so sweet and ADORE their Moms. :)
And what a plus that you have experience and live in babysitters! ;) Also, you're girls will see what's it like to have a baby around so they definitely won't rush into having sex!

Im 34 and had one 2 years ago. I think it would be great!! Mine are 7 year apart, yours will be more, But it was so different. I had my first when I was younger and the feeling is different. I feel more with the one I had 2 years ago. Go for it, you will love it!!

lol I did it, but by accident. My husband and I were married last year. (going through a divorce right now) I am 33 have a 13 yr old son and my daughter will be 6 months on the 14th. My mother-in-law is 35 and has a 3 month old and they are planning a second. (this is my father-in-laws 4th marriage. yes he likes them young. lol) Having said all of that, we love it. The kids are great and I want another one. I am enjoying my daughter so much more. I dont know if its age or what but I have a lot more patience with her. She is a complete joy. I hope when I get married again he will want at least one more. Am I crazy? Probably. lol Right now the same year I send my son to college, I will send my daught to kindergarten. If im not grazy now I will be then!

Hi Kathy,

Wow, I can certainly see where this would be a difficult decision to have to make. I guess I would feel sorry for your husband if he never got to experience the joy of watching a child he helped create come into the world. I know it seems scary to do it all again, but I'm pretty sure once you held a new little one in your arms, you'd never regret having him/her. One really neat thing would be your perspective this time around. You were pretty young when you became a mother and I bet looking back you can think of so many things you would have done differently if given another chance. You're obviously much older and wiser now and I bet you would really appreciate all the joys that many of the rest of us take for granted. I bet your older girls would feel so blessed to be able to help you love and take care of a new baby. I say go for it! You're not old by any means, you'll still have plenty of life left to live when "this one" is grown up. Best wishes on whatever you decide. But personally, I hope to see you one day on here asking some baby question since I'm sure you've forgotten after all these years! LOL

Blessings!

Hey, Kathy!!

I just turned 42, and my "baby" is about to be 2 1/2. His brother is 16. While we weren't planning to have Noah, I definitely would NOT change having gotten pregnant with him! He's also his daddy's 1st. My teenage son LOVES his little brother, and so does one of my nephews who is the same age as my teenager. In fact, when the "big boys" are around, I don't have to do much to take care of "lil bit"!!

I also have a set of cousins who were 10 and 8 when their baby sister was born. If I remember right, my aunt was 35 give or take. The poor baby never had a chance....poor kid had 2 grandmas and 3 "mommas" who were always telling her what to do! LOL She turned out okay, though.

Since you live in Carrollton, maybe you, Michele R, and I can get together sometime! (Michele and I have been friends for about 5 years now.)

Unless you have some health concerns that are causing your concern, I'd say "go for it", but it has to be what YOU and YOUR HUSBAND want, not everybody else!
