It’s time to start learning not to care what others think and feel about your life choices. There will always be those for and against.

I was 49 when I had my youngest. He’s fit and healthy and very bright and happy. He keeps us busy and keeps us laughing. He’s a delight and I don’t care what others think, it’s my life to live as I want. Having said that, I’ve not received any strong rebukes or comments.

My only regret is that I will most likely not be in his life beyond his 30’s but no one can guarantee tomorrow either. I parent him with that in mind and make sure that we’re creating long lasting happy memories.

Enjoy your life and if adding a child born out of love and want will enhance your happiness, go for it! It is absolutely possible to have a normal, happy, healthy pregnancy with a healthy, loved child at the end. Good luck
