[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did at 44. Both of my grandmothers had their last at 45+. It is certainly uncommon now, but I'm not so sure it was uncommon a couple of generations ago, before birth control, when women continued bearing children as long as they physically could.[/quote] This. It isn't like women started having children in their 40s only with the advent of IVF and donor eggs. I come from a very large family. Both of my grandmothers, several of my great grandmothers, and some of their sisters all had children in their 40s. I think it was much more commonplace back then than people realize.[/quote] Right. I mean, 3% of abortions are women in the 40+ age group: https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/report_downloads/us-abortion-patients-table1.pdf. Add to that women using effective birth control, and there are a lot of 40+ women who would have been getting pregnant in the bygone days. [/quote]
