How to decide to have children

Is it a common mid life question that women ask as they reach their late thirties - now or never?

I already have a sixteen year old daughter by a previous marriage and two teenage stepdaughters and have been sworn off having any more for years, so why is it as I start the first possible symptoms of the menopause (hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings) that I suddenly feel as if I need to have more children?

Is this just another symptom of the menopause or is it acutally a real need to have children with my second husband of ten years? How do you know when it's a hormonal drive that will pass?

I think you should see you doctor... see how far along in menopause you are etc. get a check up

than talk to your daughter and step daught and your husband about your desire to have another child.

Than think about your age, money and if there is enough room.

However if you believe this is just a menopaus symptom I advice you get a puppy :P
