Hey guys, I would love to see how people feel here about pregnancy in your 40's. You here a lot of pros and cons about it but I'd like to hear how true open minded people feel about it. I'd also like to hear both male and females fabbers thoughts.

I'm not a mother myself but why not? Nowadays women can have very safe and healthy pregnancies in their 40s.

I guess some people think you wouldn't want to be those 'old' parents looking like the grandparents. But the most important thing is that the child has a loving home.

I think its great age isn't a factor anymore.. with medical technologies.

All women should be Preggy all the time.. just kidding

But if there's any hot Preggys out there id love to meet ya x x

Do you think it is to really be believed that the risks of having a healthy child are lower? Personally I would love another child but the fear of what I've heard is putting me off and as I'm turning 44 next week I feel its now or never. Is 44 too old?

I think its fair play to any woman having a child but I was young having my oldest kids.

I was 31 having my youngest but I was classed as a older mother.

You really need to ask your doctor/gynea this. How can we judge this for you? I'm sure every woman is different and they can determine what the risk factors are.

Best of luck

I guess I'm just asking for opinions to see how others view it.

Having a child is a personal choice,regardless how we view you and your partner should make the choice!

I personally wouldn't have a child at 44, but that's me

There's always a risk in everything we do.. and the risks have to be higher the older a woman is. This is also true for the man...I read somewhere.

But as one of the ladies was saying.. speak to doctors..get ur n ur hubbys health checked.. talk about it together..does ur hubby want one?

A new baby is a big change to ur life...

How about surrogacy or adoption?

44 is too old for me personally. I had my last child at 31 and would not have wanted to be starting again in my forties. I'm 47 this year, so hopefully it's not something i need to think too much about now. If another baby is something you really want though, 44 isn't too old for you. Good luck

Put it this way....you could be 45 by the time you get pregnant and have said baby add 18 years till they start and finish school is 63 old to have a teenager leaving school and going to college? Only you can answer how you feel!!!

I know it wouldn't be easy but I think 63 is OK to have an 18 year old. Kids grow up so fast and are so advanced these days and hopefully more open minded that I don't think having older parents would matter, but I suppose everyone is different and everyone copes in different ways. Its just good to hear all opinions on it as others may have things to say that I may not have thought about. Thank you though for your opinion

I believe your never too old to have a child. Mother nature will decide. Be prepared for it to work out and be braced for it to be complicated.

Many many women have had careers, or a change in partner and the timings on the clock have come a little later than anticipated. It happens. Don't let your age get in the way.

If you have the capacity to give love provide a nest, support and raise your child, and feel up for it, then go for it.

For some it is easy to get pregnant being older. For others it is hard if they are younger. I believe that if women we not meant to have children after 35 then they would all go into instant menopause on their 35th birthday. A woman is too old to have a baby only when her body decides it’s time to quit. Until then I believe that it is society making women become uncomfortable about becoming mothers when they are older because we have this idea that a mom is someone who is young and the very idea of seeing a 40+ old woman pushing a baby around and being a mom destroys this image.

If by chance it doesn't work out for you, or your unsure, perhaps consider adoption. Any child in an orphanage anywhere in the world right now is lacking a future. But when adopted you give them a future. The world is a big place, and there are many many children in need of loving guidance and support and an environment to grow up.

There is not much in life that makes me cry, but I can tell you when I see parents of one race with children of another, it makes me bawl with joy. Adoption is beautiful.

I know this is a swinging site and this thread is not about sex directly but it has restored my faith in humanity and is certainly one person with a wonderfully balanced outlook on life. Cheers and I wish you good things with karma what you give out you shall receive back tenfold

Statistically the rate of birth abnormalities is higher in children born to women over the age of forty.

Plenty of women over forty will have healthy babies, and plenty of women under forty will have babies with problems, but statistically more of these problems occur as the age of the mother increases.

this is basically a thread banning, or trying to, pregnancy after 40 ok? You pointed out the risks, and very well done btw, I pointed out the fact that I'm a product of over 40 parents. So you have to ask what the question was to begin with. Basically, you're feced, breeding wise, when you get to 40. Sorry buddy, I disagree!

It's not about disagreement and argueing your point. The lady was asking on this thread for peoples opinions. You obviously think that having kids over 40 is cool, being a product of over 40 parents. So why give her crap, when she has clearly agreed with a marvellous comment about nothing wrong with having kids over 40. You're constantly trying to irritate people on every thread. Your personality, to me and in my eyes, is poisonous and highly childish.

When I had my last child at 38 I was tested for Down syndrome, after 35 the chance increases and after 40 it increases again. If you eat a healthy diet and take frolic acid the chance decreases. So eat healthy and good luck the choice is yours there is nothing wrong with becoming a mother/ parent at any stage in life. A child is a gift from god as the saying goes.

why not?if a woman is fit and healthy id say go for it!actually i think having a baby in yur 40s has its benefits!yur more tolerant and relaxed as u age,and yur clubbing days are usually over at tht age so u wont mind staying in wkends with yur bundle of joy

"Cheers guys for all your opinions, we're lucky to have a gorgeous little girl already and I guess I was lucky to have her at 38, so we'll see its all in the hands of mother nature"

My mum had me at 43 and my sister 2 years later... We were both born early but that was to do with other health issues not her age.

Talk to your doctor x

Unfortunately the world is full of unwanted children.... However I believe that if somebody wants to bring life into this world at whatever age they are, as long ad they love them and care for them and protect them when needing protection then its well worth it.

As an ’older’ mom life can be hard on the kid. I was 16 when I had my first kid and 38 when I had my second.

While I love my kids, and wouldn't change either of them for the world,

I think that my second one has gotten the short end of the stick.

A lot of mums are a bit older today ,but it's not nice for the kids when their friend, who a mom is 20 asks your kid. ...Why does your gran bring you to and from school everyday, ?

So if you are thinking of having a kid

In your 40s think about the kid and how other kids will treat yours when you are about.

Older dad's seem to be accepted more easily than older moms no matter how good you look.

I might be late to the party here.

There are risks as u get older but I do think the risk has reduced as medicine has advanced.

I think it also depends on your health, the healthier and fitter u are the better,

You would be classified as higher risk

A friend had a baby when she was 43, and every thing was fine.

Some people say you enjoy a baby more and are more relaxed

One of the cons is the age thing when the child goes to school or as the child gets older.

My personnel view on this, if you healthy, have a healthy life, want another baby, then go for it, just listen to your doctor if you become pregnant, stay safe and healthy

"I believe your never too old to have a child. Mother nature will decide. Be prepared for it to work out and be braced for it to be complicated.

Many many women have had careers, or a change in partner and the timings on the clock have come a little later than anticipated. It happens. Don't let your age get in the way.

If you have the capacity to give love provide a nest, support and raise your child, and feel up for it, then go for it.

For some it is easy to get pregnant being older. For others it is hard if they are younger. I believe that if women we not meant to have children after 35 then they would all go into instant menopause on their 35th birthday. A woman is too old to have a baby only when her body decides it’s time to quit. Until then I believe that it is society making women become uncomfortable about becoming mothers when they are older because we have this idea that a mom is someone who is young and the very idea of seeing a 40+ old woman pushing a baby around and being a mom destroys this image.

If by chance it doesn't work out for you, or your unsure, perhaps consider adoption. Any child in an orphanage anywhere in the world right now is lacking a future. But when adopted you give them a future. The world is a big place, and there are many many children in need of loving guidance and support and an environment to grow up.

There is not much in life that makes me cry, but I can tell you when I see parents of one race with children of another, it makes me bawl with joy. Adoption is beautiful. "

awwww that is so lovely.brownie points for you

Well as you are looking for options mine is this

First you and he sit down and talk about it.

Second both of ye book an appointment with your GP and talk about it with them.

After that its only up to you and him to decide.

It all goes back to what you want.

But that is only my idea
