How to convince my sister

[christians]

@anaseini I tried telling her that.

@christians I'll likely be 39 when this baby is due, and plan for another in a few years. My mother was 42 when my sister was born.

Do what will make you satisfied with life, don't let others dictate that.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

@christians No need to convince anyone of anything. You do you. I'm a FTM at almost 37, loads of my friends are having babies this age too. Just shut out all the negativity and go live your best life. Can I also just say I am very sorry for your loss, that must be incredibly difficult for you.

@frenchfrye Thank you. I’m looking for friends on here to help me because I value her input but I want to be a mother more than anything.

@christians I would follow your heart lovely xx

 

[christians]

@frenchfrye I want a boy and a girl. I used to want four until I worked with children.

@christians Haha same here I work in education. I think I could handle two just about! Xx

@christians I don't know why people throw around adoption like you can just wander down to the orphanage and pick out a child to take home. It is often a long, difficult and very expensive process. Unless she's low key offering up one of her own children to adopt?

Your sister's opinion doesn't matter in this situation, but when I was pregnant at 38, my midwife told me they don't even consider you 'geriatric' until 40 now. So tell your sister she can pound sand and go make yo'self a baby!

@von20207777 I think she sees how I love on children. Her children are teens and young adults. I told her I’ll be fine and just be there. So she told me to do more research. My doctor said I was fine.

@christians Unless your sister is getting pregnant for you, her opinion doesn’t matter. Had my first at 40, 41 now and trying for another starting next month.
