Has anyone had a child at the age of 35 an older?

I am 36 years old and desperately want a child. I feel like I am getting too old and I almost feel like it’s not worth it.
Has anyone had a child at that age and if so, are you happy? Do you feel like it’s better or worse because of your age?

It's risky, medically speaking. Have you considered adoption? That not only sidesteps that problem, but gives you the option of having an older child, avoiding many of the issues that babies and toddlers have.

I have a two friends who got married and had children later on. One was 38 and the other was in her 40s. It's always possible.

I know a woman who had her first child at the age of 45 and the child is perfectly healthy.

I have, I just couldn’t run as fast when I played with them. I was more mature when they grew up ( 2 sons)
