I have a beautiful 4yo son. I’ve wanted in my heart to have another child but delayed because I was still reeling from the first pregnancy (I did suffer PPD but also had a lot of wild life transitions which made things feel heavier), but now we do want to try again.

I just turned 40 and while I know what’s in my heart, I’m definitely freaking out about my age, the idea of “starting over” after we’ve gotten more time back to ourselves, amongst the financial needs (we are doing well but were looking forward to no longer paying daycare costs once my son starts kindergarten - we both work full time).

Any advice or success stories from moms my age who took the plunge a bit later in life for a second?
