Not sure about getting Pregnant again

Hi girls, I am soon to be 35 and my Husband wishes a Child sometime next year. I already have a 11 year old from a previous Marriage. Currently, I am in a stable happy Marriage, financially in a decent position (Good UK Salary) , However I am scared to become pregnant again, scared of the pain, scared to start all over again in general, labour and complications especially due to my age. I didn’t plan to have any more children but my husband doesn’t have any of his own and he has been a great Stepdad….. what was your experience with having a baby at the age pf 36-37 ? Thanks

i was 37 when i had my first…it doesnt feel any different imo! you can do it. if it gets to be too much, you have your husband to lean on. 💜✨

I just had my first at 37. It was fine. I did tried give a lot of importance to exercise and healthy food but I think any pregnant should.

I had my 3rd at 39 7 months ago! It's been a challenge I won't lie, the sleep deprivation is the worst, plus the impact a child has on your relationship is pretty intense

I was 24 with my daughter & after so many years TTC we are finally healthily pregnant again & I'll be 30 any day. I know it's 6-7 years from you but you have no idea how nervous I was being pregnant at 30 lol 😆 I said if we can't by 29 we shouldn't at all because of the Nurses scary word "BERIATRIC" I have been blessed to meet and work with women who had kids mid 30s to early 40s & even the age gap! 7-10+ year age gap & you know what? They don't regret it. It's one of those "if I don't try.. will I regret it?" Moments. I know a handful who stopped trying at 35 & regret it.

I had a baby very young and just had another baby at 36. My babies are 19 years apart. You’ll be great!

Had my first at 34 and it was an easy pregnancy, birth almost exactly as I had planned. Only issue is my pelvis got moved during pregnancy and due to muscle weakness prior to pregnancy it caused some issues but physio has helped loads and it’s definitely not put me off wanting a second child

Im 36 and have had my first daughter in September 2024. Easy pregnancy and labour. Enjoyed pregnancy. Labour painful but I would do it again. Hoping to have a second within the year - took us 14 years ttc so hoping second will come along - if not we are blessed as we are x

I’m 37 and I just had my second he’s one month old. It’s a beautiful experience, given the fact that my daughter is 12 years older. It’s nice to see him and her bond in the most special way.
