Do you think 40 is too old for a woman to have a baby?

I believe many people wouldn’t want old parents. Imagine being 20 with a 60 year old mother or being 30 with a 70 year old mother.

  • I have 4 and I'm only 30. My oldest is 16 I will take a break, not sure if I want another

  • Tbh it is... I'm speaking from experience... My mother had me in her 40s... It makes everything so much harder...

  • Having a baby that late means more complications biologically delivering the baby. Social factors like most fellow parents will be a over a decade younger than you. Most importantly though, your kid ls life is affected as DNA is damaged over time. A great example being the link between parent age and kid having autism. Then of course is the matter of trying to get pregnant at that age.

  • Not at all. My mom was 40+ when she had me.

  • Risky business?

  • It’s risky

  • You can "want" one at any age, but here's the question I ask: When your kid is a teen-ager, say 15, you'll be 55. Not the greatest age gap relationship, in my mind.

  • My mom was six weeks shy of 45 when I was born. While many here might question my rationality or mental stability, I am actually quite well.

  • Maybe a little but it seems kinda the norm older woman having kids like Janet Jackson has a kid when she was in her 50s.

  • Yes, I do.

  • My mother was 39 years old when she had my little sister ☺️

  • Yeah I think it is…

  • It can be extremely dangerous for both.

    • Update: it's not a huge deal. Granted my parents are 33 and 37 years older than me, but you learn to live with it.

  • No way if u can get pregnant an u find someone who is willing to accommodate you then get it done an FUCK who ever thinks it's wrong if they don't like it.
    God Bless

  • It’s up there, but if it’s loved, not at all.
