Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

Hi! Nope. I am envious of those that have kids in college at my age- I'm 44. I don't expect you to feel like I do but I have had to postpone my career a lot too and really would love to get back to being me and not just someone's mom. Sorry if that's sounds horrible.😬

I had my son at 43yrs old it us physically harder and higher risk for miscarriage and loses. We went through a lot blessed with a boy at 43 yrs old and no regrets more patience (have a daughter graduated nurse) and he's very hyper and neurodivergent which has its challenges but he's my everything and live him so much ! If you get a nanny will help. When I worked full time and her dad was in Afghanistan.

Yes do it, you seem to be in a great place financially and emotionally. Siblings are the best, saying for your 5 year old. Good luck :)

Just gave birth at 45 💁‍♀️ I'm not opposed to doing it again either although I had a random rare complication unrelated to age after giving birth this time so it also kinda makes me nervous to try again and I do actually have my hands full even though I hate hearing strangers say that to me..

Sure would!! I’m 43 with a 16 & 4yo, not single, but I’ve been a single mom before, comes 2nd only bc my hubs is amazing & only adds to my peace, something happens to him, I’m not even gonna risk it again. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I have a childhood friend, my age, who had her first at 40 using IVF & donor, we regularly find ourselves participating in the same groups or posts, we totally busted each other thinking about having another child, even though we joke about being the parents accused of being grandparents at HS graduation.😂
I’ve done it late 20’s & late 30’s & single in my latest 20 & early 30’s, single or not, I’d still prefer late 30’s to late 40’s to go through those first few years, I’m way more laid back, got my life together, know what I & where I’m headed, plus, I already only sleep 4-6hrs a night anyway, might as well be doing feedings than just pacing around.🤣
