Birth in your 40's now is considered to be late, yet it was quite common in previous centuries. Women have been having babies well into their 40's, and even their 50's - since the beginning of time.

"In 2005, there were more than 104,000 births in the United States to women ages 40 through 44, and over 6,500 to women 45 and older. In 2004, there were 1,786 live births to women over 42, using donor eggs."

Sharing articles I find, discussing options you might consider & suggesting what might help. Lots of inspiring stories of pregnancy & birth, both spontaneous and assisted.

To the person who added: "Whatever age you are when you're unable to get pregnant."

So if you are having trouble getting pregnant at 20, you are too old??

I feel that there is no age limit. I feel that society wants things a certain way but that's not how real people are. As long as a person decides to be a good parent then there is no reason why he or she can not be a parent.I personally would stop if having a baby puts my life and the baby's life at risk. There would be other options such as adoption for the children who have no parents.

If you're not expected to see their twentieth then I think you are to old.
