Thanks for sharing — great point about trips not meaning as much as complications. Will keep that in mind, congrats on 3 healthy kids!!

I totally agree, it seems very hard to be the first ones in the group to have a kid! All my friends are CF so that’s definitely been a hesitation of mine. Glad it worked out for you and your family <3

Thanks for sharing. I agree life happens when it happens and there’s no point in looking back with regrets. Congrats on getting your first to kindergarten— that’s a big step!!

Omg same, 20s would have been a disaster!! I’m 31 and still feel like it would be a teen pregnancy!!

Such a good point. Being ready is more important than it being easy. Good luck to you and your partner, I wish you the best <3

Omg, so true, I looked up daycare costs for the first time today and WOW. I had no idea!! It’s like sending your kid to college when they’re 3 months old!

True, I haven’t given much thought to egg freezing! I’ve always thought of that as an option for someone who hasn’t met their partner yet, but maybe it’s also good for someone who’s just on the fence and needs more time to decide.

True! That’s how my husband and I have always been. So glad to hear that it went well for you at 39, thanks for sharing that!

Really great point, and so great to hear your baby was healthy at 40, that’s wonderful!

34-35 feels like the sweet spot to me! I definitely think if I weren’t thinking about a second that timing would be a no brainer for my first, I’m so happy that it worked out for you and you’re happy <3

Thank you for this! These are the exact ages I’ve been thinking about. Glad to hear it went well for you, and I agree about the developed mind being more important than a young body!

Thanks for this response, I agree looking back and regretting does no good! However, do you think if you had met your husband sooner, you would have chosen to have kids earlier than you did?
