Just curious on this one. Elaborate as much as you'd like I would love to know. My man really wants one...I am almost resolved not to, however, once in a great while get a little bit of the feeling of wanting to. I am scared to and scared not to.

My husband and I at the same point in our lives..I am 37 and he is 36...My clock is almost finished ticking...I too am scared....(I don't understand why especially when 17 and 18 year old are having babies). I find it especially hard when my friends and I get together...they all talk about their children and well I talk about my two dogs...I do feel uncomfortable...at times. I think about having children on and off....I always put it off by saying it's not the right time or 'I say next year'... I am happy at this point in my life and not sure after 17 years of marriage that a child would be a good idea...I just don't know...My husband says he does not want any children...but I do know he would make a great father....It is a hard choice that I need to make quickly and I will have to make it soon or time will run out....

I'm 39 yrs. old, married and have 2 stepsons ages 11 and 10. Before the boys came into our lives, we suffered for yrs. because of not being able to bear children and my husband rarely got to see his. But since the boys came into our lives I've learned that pregnancy and childbirth are overrated. Love is what makes a family, not blood or giving birth. So if you do decide, one day, to have children and pregnancy is not possible, then consider adoption. I love my boys as much as if I had given birth to them. They've been with us for 5 yrs. now and it's been the most wonderful challenge! Just because a woman can't bear children doesn't mean she can't have children.

I'm in my late 30's and have never wanted children. I think about whether I will regret it but having a baby for that reason doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm just not supposed to be a mom. I'm also not married so I dont know if my views would change if I was.

I'm 41 and a mother of 2. I've had friends who have struggled with their biological clock so I'll tell you what I've told them. When and if you ever want a baby there will be no doubt in your mind. These days women can have children well into there 40's, you don't need to rush things yet.

your doctor would be the best to ask because after 26 it is more of how healthy you are than anything else. my mother was 50 when she had my youngest brother and he teaches at Yale now so no problems there.
