Any mommiies here age above 35yrs old trying to conceive or had successfully conceive?

Any mommiies here age above 35yrs old trying to conceive or had successfully conceive? My best friend who age 35yrs old now is trying to have #2. But she kind of worry of age gap (Their's #1 is coming 17yrs old) Due to some reason they been trying hard to overcome some psychology issue. Any family had such a big age gap between #1 & #2?! (Their's first born is very happy when they decided to try for #2) How do you handle those questions been ask like (Oh, why so big gap? ,must be accidentally have it etc) Because some of their friends are quite unhappy, negative remark & showing cold shoulder when they decided to try for #2. Quite upset on this when i learned this from them. Mind sharing the thought? Thank you!

I hope your friend will continue trying because I personally feel that whether or not to have another child up to the couple. I'm not sure why her friends are reacting so negatively to their attempts because honestly, trying to conceive at 35 is not uncommon in today's society. Moreover, their child is supportive of their decision so it seems like the family is all set for a new addition. I wish your friend all the best, and hope she can have more supportive friends like you. :)

It sounds like a well considered decision. Really hope they don't get affect by their other friends.
