I am 38 yrs old and spouse is 43 yrs. We are living at company quarter with our 8 yrs daughter and she is not bad at study. In last september, I had a miscarrage after 7 months of pregency due to urine infection. My dilema is that can I go for an another pregency considering
1) late pregnancy at 38 or 39.
2) Remaining service life of husband is 17 yrs
3) Nuclear family i.e. no extra family member who can stay here in company quarter and old age to help us .
4) It is difficult to get a loyal housemaid.
5) fear of hampring daughter's education.
6) extra budget
Ans: "I think the compelling reason to have a second child should be to complete your family and provide a sibling for your existing child. At age 38, it is important to be under supervision and undergo appropriate genetic investigations to determine the possibility of abnormalities in the baby. Once these investigations are complete and everything is normal, you can proceed with the pregnancy.
Your reasons for having a baby, such as not being able to find a good maid, fear of tampering, or your daughter's education, don't seem very logical. Instead, it is important to economize your funds and channel them appropriately to be able to generate resources for both your children."
