@jesusismyking2023 It sounds like you’re on the right path! The communication is the key, I think. Re South America, there’s no Zika in Chile or Uruguay, or up high in the Andes, so you have a few options! And I’ll definitely share more once we know more about our coming trip...

@jesusismyking2023 Oh my God, it would drive me insane to have this month by month pushback. I think you are right that you needed to stop that. But it sounds like you may need to have a conversation about how important it is to make your date six months out pretty firm. That is essentially what...

@jesusismyking2023 I feel you on this. I also fear that when our planned TTC date gets here, my husband will push it back. It took a long time for him to get comfortable even talking about TTC, and then he was like “sometime, but first I want us to [insert vague relationship aspiration here].”...

@bernard222 We are waiting to take a big trip in December, and because my husband needs a little more time to get comfortable with the idea of children, seeing as he’s in his 40s and has held a baby literally twice. We’ve been waiting about a year since we first had a talk about having kids...

@joslyn04 Go team well-seasoned. ;)

@hanneliedb I kind of love it. Let’s try to keep in reddit-touch.

@hanneliedb High five on Team 36. It’s a fine age to be.

@joslyn04 I feel you on the fertility issue. I’m also a little paranoid about chromosomal abnormalities and trying hard to get pregnant only to have to terminate due to a sever defect. Basically, I educated myself really well on all the things that can go wrong. But I remind myself that even...

@joslyn04 It does! No more boxes to check... (well, except husband’s non negotiable desire to take one last challenging international trip in December; then all is checked).

@joslyn04 Oh, exactly. I am so happy with my life so far and all the experiences I’ve had. And now I have a great career and I’m with a great person and we are pretty financially stable and all that. So, overall, I think the issues that may come up with older motherhood are totally worth it for...

@joslyn04 OMG I know. I am honestly a little self-conscious about my age, like I missed the babymaking boat. And I have all those usual worries about how conceiving will go. So it’s nice to have some company in this age range.

@joslyn04 Go Team 36. I am so relieved not to be alone in my decrepitude. ;)
