My Grandmother was 44 when she had my youngest uncle, a healthy pregnancy and my uncle is now 47.

What's the oldest you've known someone to conceive and give birth?

On of the mums in my dc’s class had her daughter at 47. Very tragically she died of a heart attack when her daughter was 5.

46 is is the oldest I know for first pregnancy. 48 is the oldest I know for any child.

My friend had her second child at 48.

When the midwife delivered my grandchild, she said she’d delivered to a 53 year old mum that morning. I asked if it was a surprise baby, midwife said it was the mum’s third child (all under 5), what a woman.
