Planning for 2nd child
I have a kid of 2 years and 9 months old. We are planning to have our 2nd child. But I will be completing 35 years this November starting. Is it safe to have kid now, in terms of kids and my health. My husband will complete 40 years. Also I had PCOs before my 1st pregnancy. So wanted to check is it a good decision to have 2nd child now?

It is absolutely safe to conceive now more so since you are above 35 and husband more than 40. The gap between two children will be 2 yrs and 9 months maybe 3 yrs if you conceive after 2 /3 months
