It's not your concern. 40 year olds have the right to screw like everyone else, however they want and this includes having the right to feel like they want to produce more kids. In biblical times, there wouldn't be a discussion on the matter. Parents aren't perfect... There is nothing wrong with a 40 year old woman getting knocked up by a 20 year old man and vice versa.

Well Ruth why should you care what your ex is doing.

Hi I had a baby when I was 47. She was my first child I had been trying for 15 years; so I feel very blessed. I had great health, no problems at all.

Well Ruth why should you care what your ex is doing. Same reason he cares about what I do. We have small children we are raising together.

I think there are risks over 40. I also think autism is WAAAAAAAY over diagnosed.

I think there are risks over 40. I also think autism is WAAAAAAAY over diagnosed. My baby girl hasn't been sick a day in her life and compared to kids even older than she is, they're comatose. She got her daddy's share of genetic defects. Ignoring the autism problem doesn't make it go away. I've seen quite a number of them in this county and neighboring Logan County. In fact, even social services doesn't try to force vaccines on us and are very respectful of parents on this topic, although they're still marketed heavily. http://www.facebook.com/video/?id=100000277474789

For a second there I thought you were talking about having babies that were over 40. I was going to recommend watching the flick The Baby(though he was just over 20)

Autistic children are different from birth, I know from experience. Autism is so much more common now, because it's still new to medical science. As more doctors become aware of Autism, the diagnosis rates go up. I think the modern diet probably exacerbates the symptoms, but I think Autism has a very long history in humanity.

She should know her own body and if she feels healthy then great, there is nothing like having a baby that is wanted. If I could have one with my man I would do it in a sec, regardless of the fact that I am 44. As long as the baby is going to be loved and looked after, good on them.
