Hi i was just wondering if there were any ladies out there that have had a couple of children when in their 40s, wanted to know if you found it tough because of your age having children so close together? I have 5 children, im 40 and had my 5th this yr, i would like another but it would have to be soon due to my age. Any opinions welcome. xx

    Thanks Joanne83, im just a bit scared because i have quite big gaps between my children, wasnt sure if it would be too much to take on! I adore all my children and they all get on well even with the age differences, 22, 19, 11, 6, and 5 mths! xx

    Like joanne says you are only as old as you feel and even though some days that could be as old as 90. I have just had my third at 35 do not know if it was any harder or not than when i had my first at 26 we are definitly more settled and financially secure. My children are 9, 4 and 4 mth.
    Hubby does not want any more children i would keep going but think that 3 children is our limit space, money and time wise.
    good luck in what you decide....

    Hi all I'm 39  and expecting number 4, my husband is 52.........and this baby was ALL his idea lol.

    I think you are as young as you feel, within reason, I wouldn't fancy having my first at 40, but we'll hardly notice a 4th lol.

    Good luck ladies x x x
