My husband had a stroke when she was 2 months old. I had always wanted more kids, but was afraid to have any more fearing I would raise them alone. I was right, he died 2 1/2 years ago. So, there is a part of me that always wanted one. But, sometimes it just isn't in the cards. |

I am 47 and still a fertile myrtle. But, I don't think it would be fair to have one at my age. It'd would be like I was a grandma!! But, others have done it and all was fine!!

Yeah, that is what concerns me. If I knew for sure I would remain in such good health for a long while and I knew I could do the things a younger mom could do, I would probbaly like one. But, it is such a big decision. |

Too old is when you want to have a panic attack or throw up at the thought of starting all over again with a baby That would be me... I'm 40 and have absolutely NO desire to bring another baby into my life! UGH |

Well everyone is different in thinking what is too old all depends on the person. Myself I was 27 when I had my daughter.
But myself I'm 49 now would I have one now hummm nooooooooo just got mine grown I want to enjoy life with me and another alone. Is that being greedy maybe so but to have one at this age. Sorry I can go get my granddaughter and enjoy her for the day if I want a child around. It all depends on what you want not want another wants. There have been plenty of women having kids in there 40's- 50's just not for me. |

Just my opinion, if your in your 40s and have had a child already. I wouldn't think it would be fair to have one, do to the fact that you wouldn't have that time or most likely the health of a young mother would. When i here things on the news like some 60 your old having one. To me it's just wrong.

Not if they are grown and have made that choice to be with you regardless. Making a baby should be something both partners want...not a gift to another. I wouldn't even consider it, if I didn't deep down want it myself. that would not be fair to the baby. |

yep that is what i was trying to say anyway....... that everyone is different and i know some dont feel that way... but i did and that is why i chose that path
and that old bf of mine he was 6 yrs younger.. he was 25 and i was 32... lasted 2 yrs that relationship he later met someone that could have children but already had 4 of them and she didnt want anymore... i guess that was all good cause they were together 4 yrs and he then got in a car accident and died so he never had the chance to have any children and ill add.... he was great with my kids.<good dad>.... sure made a memory in their lives.... |

If you truly have to ask, then I'm almost sure you feel as though you've reached your maximum age limit

I think this is a totally personal decision between the couple ~ and their doctor. Everyone is different, health wise. Every pregnancy is a risk to some degree. There are a lot of factors to consider for each circumstance involved in this decision.
There are always options ~~ surrogacy, adoption, etc. |
