[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had all four of our kids before they turned 30, still managed to fit in grad school, made good money, gave them a great upbringing -- and were empty nesters before turning 50. We retired a couple years later and are now hands on [i]grandparents[/i] of elementary school kids in our late 50s -- hands on when we're not traveling, that is. I can't imagine having little kids in yours 50s. [b]It's not natural. [/b] [/quote] Except, it kind of is. I mean, realistically, a woman can get pregnant up until menopause. The risk of miscarriage or fetal abnormality is significantly higher, of course, but it CAN happen...naturally, with no assistance. My grandmothers were both in their 40s when my parents were born (last children in large families). I would wager, back in the days before birth control was popular, that it really wasn't that uncommon to see women in their 40s giving birth. [/quote]
