How old is too old to have a baby?

[Shaz83]

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

We have decided to not have any more not that I think 41 is old or 42 is too old…Just I think it’s best to concentrate on my beautiful blessings and focus on them and also pregnancy

Yeah, the OP is very odd. Seems to have started this thread only to argue with anyone daring to hold a different opinion from the one that they hold themselves, Other posters give their own personal reasons for their own personal views, but it doesn’t seem enough for OP.

Lots of strange behaviour from OP… 👀 - (I’ve said too much… I think I’m about to be attacked!!) 😂

I’m not angry… why would you say that??

I’m pointing out the obvious, as anyone else can see, because you sallied rather child like, repeated asking posters to keep justifying their positions, even though they already have, as though you are not satisfied until they put aside their own personal life experiences and agree with you fully. 😂

OP, sweetheart, you’re so angry and argumentative. I’ve been dipping in and out of this thread with mild concern for your mental health… the way you attack everyone, the ferocity of your responses… you’re pregnant, this kind of aggression is not good for you or baby… it might be best if your gave MN and your phone a little break, eh? What do you say? 💐

Fair question.

(Your name made me giggle btw… I had a groovy chick pencil case … I thought the whole brand was very niche! 1987 baby here too!)

You might want to stop accusing everyone of being angry… you’re sounding like a gaslighter. - Just saying!

I hope you’re okay.. and the kids and hubby are fine too. Pregnancy hormones eh?

Picked a number. Could change my mind when the time comes. Either continue or stop earlier. But ended in 42 as a number so that there might be few years left before menapause. I don't personally believe in making cut off age statements beforehand.

I've just turned 50 and you do start to notice age creeping up on you. My kids are 15.5 and 13.

I'm very glad now I'm 50 that I'm not needing to do " little kid" stuff any more such as bath time, helping with shoes, reading bedtime stories at night.

Mind you, although they now look after their own personal cleanliness and take themselves to bed, they are around in the evenings much more and they also cost a lot! 🤣

Hahaha 🤣 love it!

lol Yep these pregnancy hormones 😂😂😂

So true ☺️

Yea very expensive 😂

Ok fair enough

Oh hubby is good thanks just told me to ignore the twats on mn 😂😂😂😂 there just haters 🤣🤣🤣 I just find it hilarious 🤣 kids are good 👍 👌☺️

Yea it’s a fair question. I had a groovy chick pencil case aswell! 😊

for sure taking a break! There are too many angry negative people on here…. Gosh your lives must be very hard and shallow and not very exciting lol 😂 this is only aimed to the ones that attack me btw. Anyway I’m off now going to take a nice relaxing 😎 break hahaha. Oh wait I best be careful when I come back….. because there will be negative comments! After this lol but hey I won’t entertain it….☺️😆

Glad you agree the question was fair.. it was a question for you specifically from another poster.. care to answer it?

I had my first at 21 and my second at 41. I found it much easier the second time around as I was over all the partying, etc., and I was more settled and financially secure. I now look after my 2 granddaughters quite often and they give me a new lease of life. My friend had twins at 48!

Just seen your previous comment about the break from MN.. don’t worry about this question, take your break. Stay positive.

Sometimes these pregnancy hormones can make you feel het up.. I guess it’s better to let the energy out online at strangers than people in the real world.. do whatever keeps the harmony in the world that matters.. no one on MN is taking anything personally anyhow.

Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy!

So nice to read breathe of fresh air! Thanks for your positive comment. And good for you ❤️💖

Thanks so much! Nice to have a lovely response! Hubby is laffin me to hahaha because people in my world are no where near negative nasty and angry always so angry 😡 😂 thank god! Lo anyway you have a good day and stay calm ☺️

Nah I don’t want to entertain any negativity thanks.
have a good day ☺️

😂

Biology for one. You create more abnormal eggs vs normal ones in your 40s. The odds are just better stacked in your favour below 40.

I guess I never saw myself as being an “older” mum, which is ironic as someone who will be an older mum. But there is just something for me psychologically about hitting 40. I was the same when I hit 30 but kids wasn’t on the cards then (but should have been in hindsight!).

Troll 😂😂
