[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Confirmation bias. People always believe the choice they made was the right one.[/b]

OP isn't going to get any valuable info here. People are just saying the choice they made was correct, whatever it was. [/quote]

This is almost right.  What I think is more accurate is that these 40+ mothers are being defensive because they know in their heart of hearts that theirs was a selfish decision.  Having babies after 40 is ridiculous.[/quote]

Why would 38 be fine, but 41 be ridiculous? Living according to some arbitrary book of rules (that only exists in other people's heads) is ridiculous.[/quote]

This.
I had my 2 children at 37 and 41.  DH and I got married at 32 and I have PCOS, so we dealt with (non-age-related) infertility.  
Would I have liked to have had children at a younger age?  Sure.  But life didn't work out that way, and I wouldn't trade my kids for anything.  Family genetics are on my side (grandparents and most of my parents' generations all lived relatively healthy lives into their late 80s/early 90s), and I take care of my health and body as best I can.[/quote]
