I remarried five years ago. My second husband had no children of his own. I was extremely hesitant to have more children for two reasons, my age (I am now 44), and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with raising the children from a previous marriage. At 43, I decided that my husband deserved to know what it's like to be a father as he desperately wanted to be one. He is a great man with a giving, caring heart. What kind of selfish person would I be to deny my best friend and life partner such a rewarding and life-changing experience? I would be living with guilt on my shoulders. I loved raising my two babies. So I decided to have another. I got pregnant very easily at 43 and now have a 7-week-old baby boy whom we both completely adore. I exercise regularly, eat fairly healthy, and, despite being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, my pregnancy was event-free. Our son was not heavy at 7 lbs 11 oz. I say, do what feels right for you and your husband.
