I'm just curious to how old is too old to be having children. I just turned 28 in August and for the last year or so I've had this feeling that it's now or never for me. It's like my body is saying "yes, do it now", but my mind says "no, it's not the right time". I always really wanted children, but said that 1) I had to be finished with college before I had children and 2) I MUST be in a steady relationship. As of now I'm 2-3 years away from finishing college and although my relationship with Russ may be "steady", we are no where near the child zone. So why do I have this nagging feeling to have children? If I wait until after I finish college in 2-3 years and my relationship with Russ is 5-6 years in the making, am I going to be too old? How old is too old?
