The oldest you've known someone to get pregnant naturally?

[ineedtowomanup]

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?

I was 45 when I had my youngest. I haven't met anyone older, but obviously they're out there😆

52, not me, someone I know.

A colleague at 49. By mistake with her soon to be ex husband. She retired as her DD went to primary school. Child no 5 a blessing and a curse.

46 - she had just adopted a daughter thinking she couldn’t conceive!

No!!

46

Wow!!

I was not expecting these ages.

51. Was my primary school teacher. Baby was born healthy. The teacher was very strict at school but an absolute pushover as a mum, absolutely smitten with her baby 🥰

The oldest recent verified natural pregnancy/birth was at age 59. It’s in the record books. So, though very rare, it does actually happen to women in their 50s.

A friend of mine became pregnant for the first and only time at age 47 after a night of booze-induced fun with an old flame from way back who was passing through the town she'd moved away to.
She and everyone else were utterly gobsmacked but she had a healthy and very beautiful baby a few days before she (the mum) hit 48.
And the even older first time dad stuck around and co-parented.

Friend had a surprise baby at 45.

52, never been pregnant before. A total surprise. Healthy little boy. A friend of my mums.

Someone with a birth year of 1969.
But they were a different nationality and suffered a premature delivery in complications unfortunately.

I’ve also had an aunt with successful pregnancy in 40’s when their previous children were turning adults themselves.

55

Sister 45, friend 46. I had mine at 41 and 43. All conceived naturally.

One of the mums at the childminder my DD went to got pregnant at 49.

My mum 45 my youngest bro now 21 just got married which was mcoe but ye he was a suprise to all of us older siblings and my parents 😊 had my youngest single at 40, twins at 42 and there little monkeys at 2 and 3 now adored by there teen siblings and all very much loved adored and normal home births

But not always.

My grandmother and her sister were teens when their brother was born. He was what was called a 'change of life baby' and predictably named Gerard.

First child. No ivf.

Oh WHY do people use acronyms so much! I spend a lot of time on the internet and I still have to look up some every day. NDN came up as Native Indian. But also next-door neighbour. I would never have known what NDN meant. Also had to look up p/w, LI, BIC, and a couple of other things I can't remember. I've been an enthusiastic internet user for years and I still find my reading tripped up by all these acronyms. It is literally never ending and very annoying!

No shade to you, PP! I've just had enough of looking up acronyms this week!

My aunt by marriage’s mother got pregnant at 50, but had a second-trimester miscarriage.

As a teenager, my mother was friends with “Barbara,” whose mother had a baby when Barbara was 18. Barbara was mortified - “everyone’s going to think it’s secretly my baby!”

As I've say I've known natural pregnancy at 51 and this did result in a successful birth :)

Yes and especially as a lot of these older pregnancies happened awhile back and fertility rates seem to be declining. So even though I'm sure it wasn't uncommon for your great gm or grandmother to have a baby mid 40s, with today's widespread use of plastic, hormonal contraceptives, pesticides, you name it, I wouldn't chance it.
I have read stats that suggest naturally conceiving seem to be a problem for a growing number of couples even in their 30s.

I still have periods on a regular 28 day cycle at 51.
I‘m one of 6.
My mother one of 9 and my grandmother on of 12.

All of us had babies in our 40s. My last (5th) at 43.

I assume that I don’t ovulate every cycle and if I do the eggs are really lousy. Not a risk I’d be willing to take though and I got my tubes tied.
