    Not the same but my mum has had 2 in her 40s one at 42 and one at 46.
    She had no trouble getting pregnant in fact the second pregnancy was a big surprise!

    I have actually found it a heap easier to go from two to three than I thought it would be. There are frustrations obviously, but generally Miss A slots into our family so easily and she is such a content, easy going baby. The hardest part at the moment is getting time with Miss I and Miss E together away from Miss A and also on their own but we're getting there

    Thanks LuluHB - that is good to hear - I hear that 2 to 3 is not too bad - I did find 1 to 2 pretty major (like you they were pretty close in age too)
    Thanks for your positive words

    Bellany - WOW thats amazing your Mum is a legend- does this run in the family ??

    Have GREAT DAY !!

    I was 40 when I fell pregnant with DS. I was very lucky in that I fell pregnant with ease and had a great pregnancy. Every woman is different. Good luck.

    I fell pg naturally at 41 with DD but she was stillborn at 41 weeks. If you are having a baby over 40 it is my recommendation to have the induction when they offer it as stillbirth rates are MUCH higher in older women. We then went to an FS as it'd taken us 8 yrs to fall with DD. She tracked ovulation for me ......lots of giving blood but no biggy.....and I fell at the third round of this. I am now 44 and have a 1 yo DS. I would love aother but having a baby at 45/46 might just be pushing things.......

    All the best to you and thanks so much for your great advice.

    Aussiegirl - hopefully it will happen for us we have been lucky to fall quickly before so hoping our luck will continue - thanks and enjoy your boy xx
