[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had my one and only at 40.  Conceived naturally (on our first try), easy pregnancy and easy baby. But that’s me and I’m sure you could also get lots of anecdotal stories that go in the other direction. Do it if you want it. It’s not to old if you’re in good shape physically and can afford it.  (Btw I had 4 friends my same age deliver within a few months of me.)

+1 but had our only at 43.  Shocking at how easily I got pregnant after stopping birth control 3 months earlier.  Easy pregnancy, easy baby, easy toddler years.

Looking back in retrospect, I would do it the same all again.  Youth spent getting an advanced degree, having fun, traveling, getting financial stability.  Never wanted more than 1 child. Now life is easy and no worries about money.

Someone else might say having a child in their late 20’s was the right choice due to x, y, and z.

This question comes up all the time and it’s just pointless.  Different ages are right for different families and situations.  One scenario might not be the best for everyone.

Just live your life and don’t worry about numbers, what others think, and how society judges you. Focus on what is right for your family. You will be much happier, trust me.[/quote]
