My mother had my youngest brother when she was 45. I was 20. My oldest son and my baby brother are 5 weeks apart. They are now 30 years old.

I’m happy for you, but the gap between you at 42 and someone who is 45 is vast and contains multitudes…of dead eggs.

Your wording of this post (as well as the sentiment behind it) is abhorrent.

Good catch. Also weird considering the other recent thread about pregnancy at age 47. Seems like someone is just trying to stir things up.


Oh that is a good catch. Hope OP is happy with whatever came of this.

Women stay fertile for a lot longer than expected. I had a whoopsie pregnancy at 47 - when I thought birth control was a thing of the past for me. We already have three kids and didn't want any more, so I terminated. If they keep you young, bless you. I had my last baby at 44 and I feel old so I don't think a pregnancy at 47 would have made me younger. Everything is harder physically than it used to be, and it's busy.

When i was 25 i had an abortion at 6.5 weeks. So easy and pain-free. My boyfriend and i went out to big lunch afterward -- I hadn't been able to eat for a couple of weeks. That was nearly 30 years ago and we are still in touch/friends and we thank our lucky stars we did not proceed with a pregnancy we did not want.

If you are truly apprehensive about raising another child perhaps you would consider adoption. I ultimately adopted my 2 kids when I was ready to be a mom at 40.

I’m not far along at all. I’m 4 weeks in.


Odds of MC are very high. BTDT.


Well, I too waited and hoped for a MC, went to get a CVS at 10.5 weeks, which was good and clear. I was almost 45.having an abortion at 12 weeks is way way more traumatic than at 4/6/8 weeks, provided that’s what OP decides.


You stirred up a thread from 2021 just to say this?
