[quote=Anonymous]It's only since the 1960s that more women don't have kids until they go through menopause or die. Check out census records from 1940 or before. Having babies around 40 isn't new. My sil had a baby after forty because that's when she met my brother who also wanted to have a baby with her. My mom had me at 40 because she wanted another child and had several miscarriages until she finally had a live birth. Lots of guys "aren't ready" to have a baby until they are in their mid 30s or they realize if they don't have one now they are never going to have one. My dh was in that category and it took me years to convince him that we needed to go ahead and start trying. [/quote]
