[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had mine both before 35.  I'm comfortable financially. And so are many others. So there goes that theory.

Telling people they can easily have their first at 45 is giving them false hope. Sure, it happens for some. But for many it either doesn't happen past 40 or the child has developmental issues or other things previously mentioned. I know many post 40 who wanted a second who couldn't have one.  So just bc you had one already doesn't automatically mean you will be able to have a second. I have a friend with two kids born post 40 and both diagnosed with special needs. It's tough for her. 
Bottom line- don't wait. [/quote]

45 is a totally different story that late 30s, IMO.  I don't know a single person who had a child when she was between 35-41 that has had a child with special needs or developmental issues.  In fact, the only person I know that had a Trisomy baby was 27 when she had her daughter.[/quote]

People don't talk about the babies they didn't have. [/quote]
