A third at 38?

Hi Ladies, who here has had a third at 38 years or older? Looking for experiences and advice.
Even though financially, it might be a terrible idea. I am struggling with a niggling thought in the back of my mind that if I don't have a third soon it's going to be off the cards forever. What do you think?

I had my third at 38. It was totally fine. Had a healthy 8.5 lb baby boy. Have loved having three.

I had my 2nd at 40 and 3rd at 43, both were born healthy and I had fairly easy pregnancies (though I had gestational diabetes with my 3rd). Loving being an older mum as I had my 1st at 21 and was more career focused then. Where as now I have better work life balance.

I say go for it! I’m 27 weeks with my 3rd, and I’ll be 37 next week. First trimester was harder than my first two (I was 28 and 30 when I had them), but I blame that on this one being a girl, and my first two being boys . My good friend just told me she’s 17 weeks with #4 and she will be 38 next month.
