A mother longs for another child 14 years after her first, feeling a void in her life. At 42, she believes she still has time, having faced challenges like a domestic violence relationship and focusing on her career and parenting. Financially secure and single, she approaches dating cautiously, aiming to avoid past heartaches. Her limit for pregnancy is 45. Seeking advice from a parenting forum, she hears mixed opinions on age and parenting, with some suggesting alternatives like adoption or pets, reflecting on the implications of raising a child later in life.
"A domestic violence relationship, throwing myself into a career and being a mom meant I couldn't even think of these things until now."
"My friend got married at 29 and she never got pregnant... until she was 46! They had resigned to the fact they weren't going to have any so happy surprises."
