I had all of that at my age 24 pregnancy.

Someone who goes through menopause at 40 has premature ovarian insufficiency.

I think ignorance is 🤮.

Sincerely,
Pregnant at age 28.

I apologize on behalf of all 20 something year olds for the OPs stupidity. Yes OP your opinion is stupid.

Omg this my period is regular as heck and I'm 45 and a half.

Same, 48.

I cannot believe there were 13 pages of responses to this troll.

I understand the economic and cultural differences for waiting to be older, but biologically you are at menopause age.

Why not adopt? Are you insane? Why would any woman who could easily get pregnant in her 40s choose adoption, which costs tens of thousands of dollars and often takes years?

Also, menopause age? LOL. Go back to high school biology.

You can age out of adoption eligibility anyway, ironically.

In my case, it was because I got knocked up when I was 39.

I don't understand what is so gross? haha Some people have not met someone to have a baby with until later? Or there were other infertility issues. So that means they cant have kids? If you are healthy and take care of yourself being 55 doesn't even feel old! You're pathetic. Hopefully youll look and feel good at 50 because you certainly don't have brains. You sound like total trash

My MIL had 7 kids. First at 25. Last at 42. She's 75 years old now.

Just to piss you off.

I have 4 kids. First at 28, second at 32, third at 36 and 4th and 40. I started early by DCUM standards but still had a baby in my 40s. I had that last baby because I wanted to and I was able to financially. My grandmother had 13 kids. She had her first at 19 and last at 43. My eldest aunt had her baby 6 months after my grandmother gave birth to her youngest. Giving birth in your 40s was actually very common before family planning and has been common throughout human history. Not sure why you would think of it as disgusting.

Yeah, OP is one of those people who thinks adoption is easy, and not fraught with heartbreak, expense, and in some cases years of futile effort.

I had my first at 37 and my second at 41. Didn't marry until I was 32, and then infertility sucked. And before you tell me the infertility was due to age...it wasn't. I have PCOS, so, no matter what my age was, we would have had trouble conceiving.
Yes, we would have liked to have been a bit younger. But you play the cards you are dealt.
My grandmothers were 40 and 42 when their last children were born. My mom has several aunts who had children into their 40s. 2 of my great-grandmothers had children in their 40s. This isn't new, OP.

I love 40 year old moms because usually:
1) mom is educated
2) mom has stable income - not jacking up my taxes
3) mom is married - kid gets to have a dad
4) pregnancy was planned and wanted
