Is 45 year too late to become a father?

I am almost 37 years old and found out that I am pregnant for the third time. The pregnancy was not planned and I don't know if I can go through with an abortion. However, I can't stop thinking about my husband and the fact that he will be almost 46 years old when this baby is born. Do you think 45 years is too late to become a father? Please give me your honest opinion...

My dad was 46 when I was born. He was a very good father - not an overly energetic father, but kind, wise and patient and taught me a great many things. He died when I was 34, so I had him long after I had established my own way in the world. Only downside was he didn't get to be a grandad for very long and was unwell and elderly by the time my children were born. So my children have missed out but I certainly didn't.

@KittensSchmittens - so sorry for your loss. I feel like I could have written this. How I miss my Dad but wow, what a Dad he was. Just the best. So kind, wise and patient.
