What’s the oldest person you know to have their first baby conceived naturally?

[Audistic]

Dh’s friend was 49 when she had her child.

Just wondered what age you know of for people to have their first, conceived without help.

Friend was 42

44

My granny was 46 when she had my dad.

44. 49 is incredible 😲

MIL was 42 when she had DH. He's the youngest of 6 and 20 yrs between the oldest and youngest siblings.

Friend of mine was 43 when pregnant, gave birth at 44.

49

My mum. She was 44.5 when I was born. My sister is 16 years older.

My friend was 47

I know someone who had her first at 42, second at 44 and third and last at 46.

My sister was 43 when she had my niece

Me. I conceived naturally, when not actually trying, at 44y5months. ds born healthy, full term when I was 45y2m.

Easy pregnancy, no problems, no nausea, which meant I didn't realise for a few weeks. Natural birth at 40+6, ds exactly 50th percentile.

My mum was 42 when she had me, in fact I was due on her 43rd birthday

39

I feel like 42 is quite a late but not that unusual age to have a first baby. I know 3 women who had first babies at that age, and my circle isn’t massive.

The oldest woman I know to have a baby using own eggs and husband’s sperm without intervention is 49 - albeit baby number 8. She went in to hospital because of ‘women’s issues’ expecting a hysterectomy and was sent home because in 9 weeks she’d be having a full term infant. This wasn’t it a western country though.

I sincerely hope I’d never fall at 49, but much to my disgust I’m still having very regular periods. I imagine the eggs are 90% defunct though. I’d be horrified! Off to book my coil replacement for later this month ;)

Quite a few of my relatives including my granny were mid 40s

42

My mum was nearly 47 when she had me. She didn't know I was coming until 6 weeks before I was born because the doctor told her I was the menopause.

My grandma had my uncle at 47. He was her 5th child.

Several people haven't understood the question. FIRST baby.
