Well, I was 41 when I gave birth to my child. In fact, where I am in San Francisco, CA, this is hardly unusual, but I have a special story for you. My "western" doctors thought that I would be the perfect candidate for high-risk pregnancy because I already had long-standing high blood pressure. So, I decided to incorporate Eastern medicine, specifically acupuncture into my prenatal regimen, and would you believe this? Not only did I avoid gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, I also managed to lower the dosage of my hypertension meds. My western doctors were amazed! Of course, results may vary.

Readiness - meaning inside. Are you ready to give up yourself for another human being? Are you ready to sacrifice your days, nights and everything in between for another human being? Are you willing to give up that last piece for someone else? Are you willing to give up your lifestyle for someone else? I have no doubt you can afford it just as much as that lady who sells newspaper can afford it. All I am saying is that if you really want to, there should be no stopping you. :) shine – I guess I should have been clearer. Readiness – meaning inside.

I am fortunate to have a very active and very healthy uterus. LOL. Dont base your life on mine although I would recommend you also get checked. My diagnosis is based on the fact that I have borderline hypertension and the doctor says that a pregnancy will really cause my BP to shoot up. You are still young although please dont wait till you can afford it to have a kid, otherwise you never will try to have one. Does that make sense? If you are ready then go. Readiness is the only prerequisite. Because once you are ready, you will do everything to be the best mom to your kid. :) Good luck! shine – I am sure I will make it.

na-bother naman ako. does this mean i, too, have only a few years left? if so, i’ve got a very slim chance na to have kids. i mean, i don’t think i can have a kid now or even in 2011. but then, maybe by the time i can actually afford to raise a kid, it’d be over for me.

sigh. na-sad naman ako. :(
