No, you're not too old to have a child, if you're in good health and genuinely want another baby. I say go for it.

You're not too old to have another child, but I'd have a real heart to heart with the 20 year old about it, before deciding, to see how he'd feel... more out of respect for his feelings than "permission."
I'm guessing, if he views the husband as a father figure (having not really known his own father and the man being a part of his life since age 3) then he'll probably be quite happy for you both.

No, your not to "old" to have another child if that is what you are wanting. I'm sure your thinking of commitment it would take to have a child again. If you and your partner want a child then I would say it's settled. But if your having doubts and fears about having a child at this stage of your life, talk with your partner. Tell them how you feel. Your just now really getting a taste of freedom (per-say) again. Ask yourself the question "am I will to give that freedom up?" When you can answer that question without any hesitation then you will have your answer. I hope this helps.

Reckon nothing to worry about if your first two kids turned out alright then all the experience you have already will be a great help and it sounds like you will have lots of support too. Worrying thing might be the thought of being 50s when no.3 is in teens!

No! my dad was 45 and my mom was 43 when produced my little brother. And he wasn't even planned. And my oldest sister was 20. So no you're not too old to have another child. You're only as old as you make yourself out to be :-) Good luck-

You are definately not to old to have a child. You haven't gone through menopause yet.. If your husband wants a baby too, go for it!
I'm sorry for your loss at such a young age. That must have been very hard.
Congratulations on your marriage!
