I turned 34 this month and have a 4 month old son. He is my first biological child. I know I'd like to have 2 more children. I'm afraid to wait too long, as I am a bit older to be starting out. I'd like to hear from others who started to have children in their mid to late 30s and how they did the spacing. Ideally I'd do 3-4 years between, but because of my age I don't feel that's possible.
Also, how do you find your energy level to be? I hear you have less energy as a mom when you're older, but so far I seem to have a good deal of energy and am fairly active.
I'd also like to hear anything anyone wants to share regarding being an older mom. I met my husband at 32 so this is just how it's worked out for me. But I have a definite feeling that I'm ready, whereas I might not have been ready to be a really good mom when I was younger. (I'm only speaking for myself here. I recognize there are a lot of good younger moms out there!) Being a mom at this age seems to fit so perfectly in my life. I'm happier than I've ever been. And I LOVE being a SAHM!
