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

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

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.

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.
