This may sound strange, but 29 is not "over the hill". Not near it! I know women who have started their families in their mid 30's and are very happy. Some people don't meet Mr. Right and settle down until mid 30s. Some even later. One friend of mine had her last child at the age of 45 and actually enjoys him more than her other two (older) children. She feels her maturity helps her deal with him better.

I was married for 16 years and my marriage ended up in a divorce. It is never to late for anyone to start over. I have two beautiful daughters from this marriage. But because of the divorce and my children, my life does not stop. Life goes on. Life is what you make it to be. You have to make a lot of choices in this lifetime. There are things that happen that we have no control over. It is how we deal with that situation and how we react to it that makes us go on or to give up. I am a lot older than you. And starting over was an issue with me right at first, but as the days when by, I decided that I still had a life to live and I was going to live the rest of my life, God willing, the way He wanted me to live. I believe that I am doing that very thing. I wish you well and good luck to you. God has someone out there for you that is better than the last. So therefore, never give up!!!! Thank you for your question and God bless.

No way are you too old!! I am 41 and started over after a divorce last year. It is scary, but you can, and will, do it. Just give yourself time to heal from the relationship you were in and the divorce, then start over with guys again.
As for having kids, you can have kids well into your 40s. You still have plenty of time.
My fiance knows someone that was still looking for husbands at 103 years old!! She had outlived 5 of them, and at 103 was looking for #6!! She died before that happened, tho. So, it is NEVER too late to start over in life. You are only as young as you think and feel you are. Think you are young, and you will be and act young.

Whao!, 29 is still very young. You have another 6 years to bear children (without fear of Down Syndrome or any health problems). I suggest that you put your mind to finding a mate now. Register with a dating service and try hard to find a suitable man soon. Don't be too choosy but be discerning. Get married and try to have children immediately. Give yourself 6 years to try for kids. If you really can't, due to physiological problems then adopt a child. Don't adopt more than 3. I wish you best of luck.

I bet you are going to make a terrific mother, no way, are you too old. Life experiences does 2 things-they either make you bitter and angry or they make you a more caring and loving person. I think you are the second because, you are asking for advice. Anyone that cares enough to ask-is loving. You can still have a family along with a husband and lots of kids. Most woman are having children later in life anyways because of their careers. I certainly pray that you will find that knight in shinging armor and have lots of beautiful children. These bad time in your life is going to help be more appreciative of the good times in the future. Good luck and God bless.....

it's never too late to be happy and if that mean starting over, then so be it. i've heard tat our 30's are the new 20's and our 40's are the new 30's. don't sweat it. you have time. just make sure you don't rush or you could be getting a divorce with kids in the middle.

i had my last son at age 32. my neighbor had a child at 45. No, i don't think you are too old to start over. actually, you are probably a good age to make more mature decisions about relationships this time around. If you are 29 chances are this person will already have children anyway.

no way are you too old! im 32, almost 33, and i just married the man of my dreams last year. we're going to try to have a baby in the next year or two. and hopefully, we'll be able to have a couple of children together. of course, i knew my husband for 10 years, but we were each married to other people until 2 yrs ago. go for it!

No you're not too old to start over. You're not even close; you're not even 30! My mother was in her late 30's when I was born, and unless it takes you like 15 years to find somone, you have plenty of time to find look around, marry, and have children. Even if it takes awhile and you cannot biologically have kids, you can still adopt I'd think.
