You don't need a medical degree to state the obvious. Pregnancy is hard on a younger woman's body. I can't imagine what it would be like to be pregnant as an older, menopausal woman.

Clearly you are an authority for all women.

Yeah, I'm sure there are lots of 50 somethings out there who will attest to how easy peasy their pregnancies and births were. Lots.

I was 48, does that count?

You are certainly close enough to give to your POV even though 48 is not 54 anymore than 54 is 60.

Was being pregnant and giving birth easy peasy for you?

not PP. i just gave birth at 45. it was my easiest birth and non-complicated pregnancy. i am already at my pre-pregnancy weight and kind of sad i won't be pregnant ever again.

It sounds exhausting but she knows what she is in for as she has several older children. I'm 54 and can't imagine having the energy for a baby, but she is in a position where she can lots of assistance.
Best of luck to her- she obviously likes having new husbands and new babies.

That is awesome. But do you think it would be easy for you to do this again in 10 years? 15? 20?

i have no idea. i do think that variability among women re: their bodies/psychology greatly diminishes age as a factor. she gave birth 4 times before and she probably had good/easy experiences with pregnancy and babies.

Yeah, but those other pregnancies were 20/30+ years ago. And she didn't have to have all of the invasive and intensive medical intervention back then. It could not have been an easy experience for her this time around.

That said, I just saw a picture of Janet Jackson and she is looking amazing these days. Later life motherhood must be treating her well.

Why are you so concerned with how others run their lives? Nothing going on in your own?

And, yet, here you are reading and commenting on the same thread that I am reading and commenting on? We're allowed to disagree with one another you know.

You're inflicting your neuroses on others.

And you live in la la land if you think that there are a lot of 50 something pregnant women out there. Because there aren't.

My daughter died shortly after child birth and I became my granddaughters full time parent at 56. I did it because I had too but it's certainly not impossible. Now the difference is by age 10 her father was back in her life 50/50 so I'm having help in the teen years now. I remember around 3 months during a crazy growth spurt I was so so tired. DH and I were barely functioning!!! Life became much easier 3 years later when I was able to retire. I will say your body just does what it needs to so. One night I even woke up with a little nipple leak!!!!!! I hadnt nursed in 26 years!!!

Ps: my other grown children and my sister really helped me too. I had breakdowns every few weeks and they would sweep in and cover me!

Pps: there are so many good things about a late in life child! My husband is the only 70 year old I know who can "floss". We are loving our second chance!

Wow I cannot imagine what recovery is like at that age

I had a child when I was just short of 50. I had an easy pregnancy and easy recovery from a c-section necessitated by my big healthy breech baby. I gained 22 pounds and was below my pre-pregnancy weight in three weeks. Late-in-life pregnancy can go very smoothly, just as younger moms can have miserable and difficult pregnancies.

It's wonderful that pregnancy and birth went so smoothly for you around the age of 50. I'm a couple of years older than that now and I think I would have a really rough time with a pregnancy and birth at this age.

Wow! I’m so sorry for the loss of your daughter, but so happy to hear that raising your granddaughter has brought so much joy!
