Am I the only woman over 30 who doesn't have a baby?

Question

Seriously..am I? The way things are going with my fiance, I prob. wont start trying until I am 31..which means if i am lucky and fertile, I would have the baby around 32...i am so depressed women are having babies all around me...

Answer 1

I know a number of women over 30 who don't have kids, and many of them aren't planning on having any. There's nothing wrong with being more mature before you start your family. Many people have babies a lot later than early thirties. It makes sense that you would notice women with babies because you're wanting one of your own

Answer 2

it is never about the age it about you as a person!
Are you emotionally and financially ready to have baby at the moment?
don't look at the women around you because each woman has different situation and nobody is like you.
and as being 31 and 32 i think this is fertile for a woman and if not then you can always go to a doctor. That is why medicine in there and these days medicine industry is very advanced
so relax and don't put this is your mind..even if you are trying and you are stressed this won't let you to get pregnant

Answer 3

Get in line sister, let me lay it out for you. I'm 33, 34 in March, so far this fall I have a friend who just delivered, and two that are due in Nov, plus a friend who's daughter is delivering that month. I have a friend due in Feb, My bestfriend and and Sister in Law to be are due in May and a cousin due in June. Never in my life have I known more than one woman who was pregnant at any given time. It's serioulsy like being punched in the gut each time I find out someone else is expecting.
And btw, I'm waiting on an anulment through the Catholic church which will take 18 to 24 months which puts me at 36 with my first child :(

Answer 4

You know what's weird...suddenly all these women are pregnant around me too....and me.

But don't worry....there are so many women that are 30+ that haven't had children yet, and plan too. Dont worry, please....it really isn't too late.

At 31 or 32...even 33 or 34.....you can have a very healthy baby!

Dont lose hope...keep your head up....and be honest and open with your fiance.

best of luck to you.

Answer 5

One of my daughters chose not to have a baby until she was 36 and had completed her masters degree. Now she has a beautiful little boy and another on the way. Again, it's becoming more common to start a family at a later date.

Answer 6

Women these days are having babies in their 40s on a fairly regular basis. It's probably best that you relax and remember that it's better to wait to make sure you and your fiancee are ready for the addition to your family rather than rushing in because everyone else is doing it.

Hang in there, be patient; it's definitely worth waiting until both you and your partner are better prepared for a baby.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

I am almost 42 and trying for my first. I am married a year and have been trying for a few months. Don't give up. My sister is 32 and just got pregnant for the first time. It took them five months

Answer 8

I'll be almost 37 when my daughter is born, and I think it's just right. Try to shut out of your mind what everyone else is doing and concentrate on what's right for you. When you do start your family, I bet you'll have no regrets -- you'll probably be more financially stable, more mature, calmer and wiser than people who are, uh, younger.

Answer 9

Try not to let it get you down. I wasn't married until I was 35, had my first child at 36 and am now pregnant with our second at 37. It will come in time. Just try and be patient.

Answer 10

Well, my daughter is 42 nd has no children. Her first marriage didn't work out and she was engaged when she became pregnant and miscarried. Her husband to be showed his true colors with her miscarriage and she broke her engagement and hasn't married since. I know she regrets having no children but I also know she knows it was for the best with the men she had chosen. I think you are obsessing.
