How many mothers had their children after 40?

its common thing na

I'm only 24, so personally, no, I can't say that I had a child after 40. But my mother did have my little sister when she was 36 and my dad was 38. This was 22 years ago, so it was probably a little more rare than having kids over 40 is now, though. My mom says she had more patience for me and my sister than she did for the older four. And she definitely needed it because my sister was a hellion! LOL She said the only bad thing about having us so late was taht she thought she would be too old to enjoy any grandkids we gave her. But she was wrong. My oldest sister, who is 36 is the only one of my siblings with kids and they are only 5 and 2. So my almost 1 year old is one that she would have almost as much time with, if we didn't live over 1000 miles away on an Air Force base. :)

I must say you have more patience than I have. My children are raised, and I've found that at 49, and with grandchildren, I just dont have to patience that I once had..don't get me wrong, I love my grandchildren, but I just couldn't take them all day every day the way i did my own. I guess it's just a fact of getting older. Good for you, I admire you.

I'm not over 40, but I went to the doctor thinking I was having a stomach virus come to find out I was 3 months pregnant..lol.. As long as the mother is healthy, I don't see nothing wrong with it, however, if you 50 or 60 having kids, my opinion, it's a bit too old, Some people live long and some don't for whatever reason....Example, my good friend she is 31 now her father was 59 and her mother was 45 when she was concieved. Her father passed away at when she was 14...Yep a what a combo huh..Her father didn't see her become a young woman...I think that what scares me to even have another child now...

I had my kids early 21 and 25, and now are both on there own and doing fine. I have had freinds who found themselves "surprised" and it worked out great! some things just happen and you deal with them as they come. For me it would be a lot of adjustment on my part but I would come around.

I only knew of one and that's my mother-in-law who gave birth to her youngest at 44. The same age that you did. She's now 80 years old, and she lives right there in Orlando, Florida. She loves kids like you do, laughs often, and hates it when she's not doing anything in the house.

Fregnant after 40 years is no matter at all as long as the doctor allow you and the child was health. I have a friend, she was fregnant at 43 years after she got 5 children. Everyone was worries about her but not for her, she was health and can born a very handsome baby with 3,8kg. It's wonderful mam... Until now, she was health and very energic, nobody can do that

I am also a son of a mother.I know how parents love their children.I also saw one news paper that a woman giving a birth to a child at the age of 65,This means how the mother liking the children we can think by this

I don't have children yet and I worry every day about running out of time as I know their is an increased risk of pregnancy after 35. Did everything turn out okay with you if you don't mind my asking?
