Are there any childless older ladies here who want a child but fear they won't have one?

I don't want a child right now. I do however fear getting too old to (naturally) have one of my own, then wanting one. I used to really worry about this. Now, not so much

I've always wanted children, but sadly because of circumstances...it never happened, and now I find myself getting up there in age as I will be 40 in a month. I think about motherhood and what my children what have been like.

I can’t carry one. It is what it is.

@iamnikki I might have considered it at one point but my life has moved past. I’m gay, so there’s not a huge need but I do think I would have made a good Mom.

Nope. Don't want it.

I rather regret not having one than regret the one I had.

@SkeetSkeet correct

IndigoSavage · 22-25, F

I don't want one because I'd be scared I'd be a bad parent

@IndigoSavage This fear alone means that you will try your best and thats all anyone can ask.

I'm childless and far too old to have one.
No, nothing to fear.

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@smileylovesgaming I know. I said I fear getting too old. Then wanting to have one when I physically can't/shouldnt

Yes. I always wanted a child my whole life I knew that one day I would be a mom but life got in the way. My deal was that I must be married before a baby. I got married and got my first college degreed job at 32/33 so I felt behind I guess. I jumped into a stressful job and didn't feel ready yet to get pregnant.
I just felt not ready. I put pressure on myself to achieve then before you know it bam 40 now.

I will tell you one simple thing. Keep your age in mind. You only have a certain time for best age for you and baby. We can push boundaries but consider a baby in your life plan if it is something important to you.
Everyone constantly asked me when I was getting pregnant(annoyingly) but no one specifically broke this down to me.
