Whats the oldest age you think a woman should have a child?

I feel that it is ultimatley up to you wheather you want a child. I feel that there are many mothers of all ages. I saw a woman on TV who had her first child at 51, and twins at 54! I couldn't believe it. You need a lot of energy to chase after those little ones.

i think that if you want to have a child and you feel you are healthy and active you should seek obstetrical advice to make sure you are healthy (as i would say to anyone of any age planning to conceive) your body tells you when you are to old to conceive, nobody else.. if you are happy with your stepchildren and dont feel a need to have a child.. then don't.. and inform your mother-in-law that her persistence with this issue makes you uncomfortable and you would hate to bring a child into this world feeling that it wouldn't be in the child's best interest..and don't you let her pressure you... you could have resentful feelings toward her and a child if you did.

I am 27 now and I tell my boyfriend that if he wants a child he only has 3 more years yet to make one, because once I turn 30 i am getting my tubes tied. I figured when I am 50, I want to enjoy my life, get to do things and travel and such, I don't want to be raising babies.

I thin 45 years old..

I think its totally up to the women and her health. If the women is in her 40's and is in good health and she wants another child then it should be ok. I don't really worry about the age of how long you will live, if you will be able to see the child grow up or not. Because no one is promise a long life. So living with that fear I just don't suggest it. I know I am pregnant now and still in my mid 20's but once I complete my degree I am looking forward to having a huge family. So it does depend on the women and her tolerance healthwise and mentally.

i think 40 or between 30s is better last age to b pregnant as after dis age dere r many complications that arise and taking care of ur baby is also dificult as dis is da time u are to face new things after 40 so one shoud be carefull

It's up to you, how you feel about it. Nobody else has to say anything. Your mother in law is not the one who will have to rear the child.

i thinks it shd b 40 +

32 to 35

my mother was 42 when she had me and it was far too old i really feel 35 is the oldest it should be

35 i think....if she older than 35 the kid might be born with problems or diseases,it's not healthy

I just had my last at 39. He is a year old tommorrow. Each individual is different . I the mum to be id still very fit and healthy around the fourty mark if conceived naturally. I am against things like IVF for over forty five.

I rhink you are making the right choice. You already have children in your life, so you can spend time with them. You don't need to risk your health and the health of your child. I'm the same age as you, but my children are teenagers. If my wife became pregnant we would raise the child, but we are not trying to have any more children right now.

It is hard enough to raise a child while in your 20's to try to do so at your age would be a major ordeal. Also while you may have a healthy child the chances are reduced. Your logic about how old you will be when that child would be in High school is right on. I am in my sixies and there is no way I would have wanted to deal with that. You should be grandparents at this age not parents. I do wish you the best.

I think as early as 25 and as late as 35. Beyond that is not advisable.

I think it depends on the woman. If she wants a child go for it. woman of all ages have children.

40

I think past 40 is too old

I think that anytime after you're 35, it's a bit too old to start having kids. Why would you want your kids friends to ask them if you're his grandma? Also, they'd have less time with you then they would if you had them young. The same goes for older dads. Why would you want to be 70 when your kid graduates highschool?

I personally think 40 is not too old, its fatal considering giving birth, you definately don't wana go through with all the bringin up the kid stuff, and when they are growing up they expect you to play with them and certain things you might not be able to do, and if you do then yo might not be able to fall alseep at night cuase of different types of aches lol.
