Hello, I will be 41 in August and my husband will be 49 in September. We have an almost 6 year-old who is begging for a sibling and I have a hole in my heart that just makes me feel like our family is not complete. Every time I see a mom with a baby I just get this overwhelmingly sad feeling that I should’ve had another. I feel like my siblings are one of the greatest gifts I have in life. I don’t know how to handle the fact that I just keep coming back to this feeling that I would love for him to have a sibling and for us to have another baby. I do realize that our age is “advanced,” especially my husband, and I feel Guilty that that child might not have a very long time with us or that we would be old at the prime of their life. Any thoughts welcome, thank you.
Edit to say my husband and I would both love another baby and are healthy, we’re just worried about our age when it grows up.
