I am 36 and my Husband is 43. We have
talked about having kids off and on since
we got married. We had decided not to have
kids and retire early and travel the world
in a boat. And now I'm pregnant. We are
fine financially but concerned with our
age. Also this was not our plan. My
husband has never been a fan of other
peoples kids. Everyone has always said it
would be different if it was our own. We
are considering Terminating the Pregnancy.
But having a hard time making the
decision. We will be 54 and 61 when he/she
graduates high school. Anyone have any
input?
Thanks Kelly

I'm 35 and I'm 5 months pregnant with my
first. And I'm planning to have another
baby at 37 since I'm healthy and super
fertile. What's wrong with being 54 and 61
by the time he/she graduates? Do you think
life stops when you are 50? My aunt had my
cousin at 42 and have had a very happy
life and my cousin is the prettiest and
the smartest girl of the entire family. So
pretty she has been asked to compete in
beauty peagants. My aunt is now a grandma
in her 70's and very happy.
Did you watch Dara Torres in the Olympics?

advice you want to give your daugther. She
said I will tell her to

You are not old at all. And congrats on
being pregnant!
First of all I don't think that you are
too old. And secondly if you are not sure
about whether or not to terminate the
pregnancy than I wouldn't do it. I think
that having an abortion is something that
you have to be absolutely positive about
or you will end up having regrets later
on.
My motto in life is that Everything
happens for a reason!! This may not be
"your" plan but I believe that this IS the
plan that has been set out for you.
Good luck and I hope that you make the
best decision for you.
