Hi i wanted to start a thread for my sister because she is 37 & keeps saying she is probably too old to get pregnant now & is feeling really down about a few things.She has a daughter who is 11 but would love another child.

She has just been told she has a lump in her womb which they think is a fibroid but not 100% sure yet.

So she is thinking that after she has had this lump removed or treated she (& if it does not effect her fertility) she really would like another baby but she feels its too late.

I have been trying to tell her its not to late at all.

So if you have been pregnant or are pregnant & over 37 please give your stories here so i can show her.

Also what age do you believe it right to stop?

TIA Smile

Actually 4 of my close friends - in only one case a first baby, but still lots of examples. I know more mums at school who have had babies after 37, so it does happen to lots of people.

Not me, but 3 close friends of mine and my step-sister. My mum's mother was 45 when she was born (what I believe is popularly known as a 'menopause baby').

My mum had my Dbrother at this age (I think she was 48) took a little trying time, but nothing too spectacular (few months I think). It is def. not too late!
