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?

I'm done at 21! Not because of my age but because I only want one and now I've got my one :)

If I did want more I'd say but cut off would be 27ish I think, though I think people should have babies at whatever age works for them!

My mum had me at 18 and my sibling at 36 outs self

I had my first at 21 second at 27 and 3rd at 33, by far the easiest pregnancy was my first at 21 , love the fact I'm now 41 and my oldest daughter is 20, woundnt have any more past 40

I'm a childminder looking after 5 children, from 3 different families.
Child A is 2, mum is 48
Child B and C are 2 and 4, mum is at least 43, unsure exactly how old though.
Child D and E are 1 and 4, mum is 39 and pregnant with Child F.
All three mums are excellent, some have adult children and all 5 children are thriving.
Go for it Grin

I had my first at 18 and last at 39, I feel like my body has said that's enough, but I would love one last baby.
