I may be out of line and I ma sure for many people a baby in later life will be great . However you already have children your new husband married into a family and therefore the dynamics of another child at this stage in life would have an extreme effect on your other children. AT a stage in life when kids need you most in teenage yors throwing a baby in the mix would complicate that. I have a theory that people get to foucusedd on the infant stage and forget that parenting continues through out life you are blessed with childern and I feel that when you are older in life your body is equiped for a child.

Health risks scare me ( i know the effects) and its not far to take the risk if you already have a loving family . You went the through a divorce and i am sure the kids you have could do with a really strong step father figure to come into the family .

Think of the bond that child would have with its siblings ?? It would practically be an only child and what about the energy you have ?? Health ?? and being the 60 year old mother I mean that isnt goning to be great for that child. Is your life really equiped for play dates, nappies and sleepless nights possibly at the expense of truley
experiencing the teenage yours of your childrens life

I hate to be the pesimist but I dont find a truely it will all be a garden of roses view to be the most practical to start a family later in life can be amazing I just dont find that having anoter child hen you already have to always be the best idea cause then sometimes the cons do out way the pros

Look around see what you already have ????? Those lids you have, your new husband

ANd if in the position to have another person in your family the most selfless thing to do is adopt an older child who would be desparate to join a fully functioing family
