| I have a 2 year old boy, Brandon and my husband and I are now trying for our second. I really want to have 3 kids, unless I get all boys, then I want to try once more for a girl, but I don't want more than 4 kids. My hubby only wants 2, but I think he is coming around to the idea of 3:) |

my sister and I are 18 months apart & I love it! We're really good friends & shared the same clothes, well, until I got married & moved away lol
My other siblings are 6 and 8 years younger than me (mom kept trying for a boy, that she finally got 8 years later!)
She had them all by 32 years old and she just turned 50 and the youngest is going away to college.
I don't know if that gives any insight, but I do have to say, family get togethers are great with big families like ours, especially once all my siblings start having their kids! yeah!

| Hi, Im a single mom right now. Dont even have a boyfriend. My son is 2 and I want so bad to have more kids. My biggest fear is my son growing up an only child. At least if I have another kid if something happens to me, he wont be alone. |

there are lots of women who have babies past 35. im sure talking to your gyno/ob would help calm your fears. there are lots of tests and things they can do. If your in good health and take your vitamins (hehe) im sure everything would be just fine. funny thing is didnt the advanced maternal age just change from 40 to 35. I happen to think 35 is still young. |

First of all, the chances for Down going up with age are only the statictics and the recent news are the age of father is more important and also there is a lot of women really young who happenned to have kids with down. Also if it wouldn't be the first one, the risk is much smaller. I'm 33 now and have 8 months old boy and would like to have another one when he's about 2 years old so I'll be about 35, grin, and I'm nopt scarred. I know woman who had her first son at 42 and has two boys and both are perfectly healthy and very bright boys.
About the other thing, I'd like to have just one more baby, preferably a girl but I \can't gwarranty that it won't change once I have him/her, lol. But would like matthew to be about 2,5 and being a little independent by the time the second comes. |

| i have a 3 yr. old right now and when he was almost 2 we decided to try again. 2 mths. later i was pregnant. i lost that baby at 8wks. since then we've been a little skiddish to try again. so the way it works for us is we're not trying but we're not doing anything to prevent it kwim? it's just starting to worry me because it's been almost 10mths now. |
