To ask what your age cut off point to have a baby is?

[Mummyyummy2012]

I'm 43 and figure I am probably too old for any more children but deep down in my heart I'd love another...aibu to ask how old you think is too old?

[NickNacks]

For me personally it was 30. I had my last at 29 and definitely now at 35 couldn't imagine doing it again.

However I generally think if your body can still do it- go for it!

[AnneGables]

41 ish probably. I think it's dependant on circumstances and health.

[WinterIsHereJon]

For me, 30. But then I had my first quite young so felt I seemed to miss out on the travelling etc that lots of my friends did. I look forward to ticking some things off the bucket list when DCs are older! Also, DP is 10 years older than me so that's a consideration too!

[balletcats]

Probably 42.

[Oysterbabe]

Had my first at 35. I'd like a second before I'm 40. If I get to 40 and haven't had one I reserve the right to revise that.

[sentia]

I would probably be ok with having a baby up to my early 40s. I'm about to have DD2 and I'm 39. It's harder this time but that may be due to DD1!

[Figgygal]

For me It's different for everyone dependent on their circumstances, age of partner, ages of other children etc

I'm 35 pg with number 2 and wouldn't want to do it again/any later than this

[WinterIsHereJon]

I should say I had my youngest at 24 and haven't reached cut off age yet and am v broody

[balletcats]

I always thought you were a wee slip of a girl Oyster :) I don't know why! I picture you as a tall, slender 25 year old blonde. Anyway ...

[Sparklesilverglitter]

I'm 39 and just had my first, so I'd say mid 40's

[StripeyMonkey1]

I think if you are fit and healthy and want another baby then go for it!

[Cherry321]

Depends how you feel. Im early 40s and would love another.

[MrsBungle]

I think it depends when you start! I had my first at 31 and now, at 38, I feel like I'm done however some of my friends had their firsts later and are ready for number 2 and more.

[Mummyyummy2012]

Yea, I had my first at 34 and second at 38- reckon I'm having a last broody post- menopause mad moment!!

[DeadGood]

"I had my last at 29 and definitely now at 35 couldn't imagine doing it again."

Comments like these make me feel weird - would pregnancy and childrearing have been a breeze if I'd had mine 10 years younger?

[Mummyyummy2012]

I mean pre- menopause

[Oysterbabe]

I wish ballet ! I am blonde though :)

[DeadGood]

(genuine question)

[Spiderpigspiderpig]

I'm 32 and done. Couldn't imagine having any more. 1st at 26, 2nd at 30.

[backtowork2015]

40 for me. I have 2 and I would be very concerned about the increased risk of disability and how that would impact on my existing family. If I'd started younger I'd have liked a third.

[Oly5]

Trying for third aged 40!

[Sparrowlegs248]

I had ds at 38 and will.be having dc2 at 39.....

[dalmatianmad]

I've always had 40 to be the final age for me, having recently turned 40 I still stick by that and couldn't/wouldn't have another, I just think it's far too risky now.....

[Spiderpigspiderpig]

No idea deadgood for me it's because I already have 2
I couldn't imagine ever doing it again. Not because it was hard, just because I'm done.

[CakeNinja]

For me, it was about 28 when I realised there was no way I was going to have any more children. But I had my youngest at 19 and 2 more in my 20's so started young and don't want to have babies over decades.
Personally, my body really felt it the third time even though it had been about 4/5 years since my last pregnancy.
I felt old doing it, had horrific SPD that still hasn't gone away 5 years down the line (much better but still not gone), and generally it has really taken its toll on me.
I look around at people having babies in their 30's and think they're crazy!
That's completely personal, I know lots of people will think I've been crazy to have mine young and that's fine too, this isn't in any way a dig at anyone who has kids later in life for whatever reason, just that it's not for me.
