Just wondering how old is too old to have a baby? Fair enough being healthy etc is fine.. but how old is too old?

I hate these threads because I’m 36 and we’re hoping IVF works for us… so depressing to read all these comments like it’s already too late and we’ll be too tired to enjoy it even if it does work 😢

I didn't start ivf till 39/40 due to dh dying and obv finding a new dh

Not sure if you have read all replies but I was almost 44 when gave birth

Dd is now 7 nearly 8

Don't be disheartened

I’m 30, only just met someone (6 months) so unlikely we will be able to have children now. My heart is absolutely broken but think we’ve just left it too late. Partner is 31 now.

Wtf. Why

Have a couple of years together and kids at 34/35

Why is it a no at 30

You are young

Is a masters highly educated?

Show quote history

Yes it is. It means a person has a university degree plus a masters degree. If that doesn't equal highly educated, I don't know what does.

I have a Masters degree and had my children at 28 and 32, so not all “highly educated” women have their children in their late 30s!

That's why I said "on average".

I have a Masters degree too and not one person in my social circle became a parent in their 20s.

That post pointing out that university educated professionals tend to have children later in life was in no way an 'odd comment'. It's the truth.

Lol no, to point out all your inaccuracies. Is the 9 year old actually yours? As you seem very keen to leave them out of all your descriptions of your family. I have 3 under 4, except the 9 year old. I've had back to back pregnancies, you know, except the 9 year old.

No one is leaving comments to make you look stupid, I don't think you need any help in that regard.

Also she was mentioned in one of my posts so why you or others think I left my 9 year old blows my mind 😂😂 anyway clearly u and others are very angry people and not happy in your own life’s to carry on picking at the same thing. But do u know what I find it genuinely funny 🤣 can’t wait for the next comment hahaha

I enjoyed being a younger mum, I enjoy being an older mum. I don't get the judgement about someone planning and having a baby they can love and take care of if they are a certain age.

It's a personal choice, what's too old for some is a perfect age for others. I had my last at 38. I'm still doing the school run in my mid 40s but I enjoy this stage of parenting. I have adult children who happily look after their younger sibling occasionally so I am getting the best of both worlds.

Good for you!

It's a well-known fact that university educated professionals, on average, have children later in life.

Where I work, the mothers had their babies in their late 30s / early 40s.

It wasn't an odd comment at all.

Show quote history

It’s not because they’re too clever to have kids younger, it’s because they’re busy doing other things than having kids, ie doing degrees.

Just like how I’m starting my career now - I’ve been busy doing other things, ie having kids.

Not all ‘educated’ people have children older.
If you are 41 and contemplating your 5th child you know if you feel too old or not. If you feel you have enough energy go for it.

Crushed23 · 18/11/2024 09:48

JubileeJuice · 18/11/2024 01:19

It just sounded odd to specify that they are well educated professionals. It implies that people who have children before that age are uneducated.
