In modern life the few families I know with 4 kids had their last around 35. And they were generally spaced 2 to 3 years out so they started in late 20s.

This seems healthy if its your families choice. I am a little judgy about having a 4th in your 40s, because WHY?!?!? It's not needed and its generally risky for your health and i cant imagine makes your family life better. Seems pretty ignorant. If you know you want a large family, start young.


Would you actually say this to their face?


I would.

Healthcare for women in this country is disinegrating before our eyes.

Anyone considering a child over age 40 is pro birth not pro child. And given where vaccines are going again pro birth.

longevity of what?


Anecdotal, but of the few people I personally know that have had babies in their 40s, 3 out of 4 promptly got a cancer diagnosis with 2 yrs of that baby’s birth.

I had two kids at 27 and 29.

Went for a third at 36 and had twins. It was hard (really hard) for the first two years of their life.
