[quote=Anonymous]My mom's youngest sibling was born the same year as her (my mom's) oldest sister's first child. So, I have an aunt and a cousin who are the same age!!! I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure my grandmother was in her late 30s when she had her youngest, and in her late teens when she had her first. She had 10 in total! Everyone on my mom's side of the family has had multiple children without problems, and many have oops babies. The granny mommy thing is definitely real!

I conceived within one month of stopping birth control pills at age 38. We were newlyweds and not yet intentionally trying to get pregnant, and because of long distance travel (separately) in the first months of our marriage, we only had sex a handful of times. But sure enough, I got pregnant in the very first weeks of getting married.

After that, I was extremely careful about birth control since I figured that I was super fertile, just like the rest of my large extended family, given how easily I got pregnant. I had an IUD (Mirena) inserted right away. Thank goodness I was super careful about birth control for all those years before I got married.

Obviously, not everyone is as fertile as the women in my family. But women in their late 30s and beyond need to be very careful about birth control if they don't want to have more kids.[/quote]
