No: Many women have children after the age of 38. If may be more difficult to get pregnant though. If you are unable to conceive on your own after 6 months, consider seeking assistance from your ob/gyn or a fertility specialist, a reproductive endocrinologist.

Too old for a baby?: You are not too old at 38 to have a baby. You will not be as successful as a younger woman. We can test for your fertility potential. You have lost about 50-70% of your peak fertility at age 27. Pregnancy is safe at your age. Don't delay if you want a baby. See a fertility specialist for details.
