[quote=Anonymous]What's so magic about 40? Some women are menopausal, many are not. There are many babies conceived naturally at 40. Not as many as when you are in your 20s or 30s, but still many (and there are plenty of babies conceived with interventions when the women are in their 20s and 30s). Every body is different. Some people lose parents at young ages. A close friend of mine lost her mother to a car accident when we were 20. Her mom was in her 40s. She never anticipated that. Meanwhile, I have another friend who was a surprise baby, born when her mom was 42. Her mom is in her mid 70s and totally healthy, could be around for another 20 years. You never know. Life is complicated and surprising. Many 40 yr old moms are extremely healthy. Many 20-something moms are not. There is no "retirement age" for becoming a mom. And more importantly, it's none of your damn business. -- Signed, a woman who had a baby at 37 and is contemplating a second at 40[/quote]
