re: At what age should women stop having babies?

Men too are less apt to produce healthy babies as they age.

There's a 74 year old guy up the road on his third wife. Shes 55... And they have a 3 year old together. They also have a six year old and a 9 year old. His grandchildren are all much older than this new crop of kids.

Screw it, ol baw is loaded, picks them fertile, and has the weakest pull out game of all time.

Waiting til 38-40 for a woman to start trying for a baby is a huge gamble.

I only know of a few women who had kids when they were around 40, and 2 of them had kids with Down Syndrome. That is one hell of a responsibility to take on and those two couples aged much faster than others due to the weight of that responsibility----- financially, physically and emotionally.

There's sentiment, and then there's mathematics.

If you are looking to have the best chance at a healthy child, she should close her ovaries for business in her early 30s. Fertility clinics understand this, when they buy fresh eggs. A hen may keep pumping them out, but they're sketchier.

If you are looking for what can work, and what generally is accepted by a society that rejects the idea of aging, 35 is kind of the point at which people can't help but look at you like you are driving a car with questionable brakes down the road at 80.

The reason she's pushing is because she knows she's on her last laps for prime reproduction. The finish line is in sight, even if she's going to take several more laps around the track to come to a complete stop.

You’re screwed. She’s gonna have you spraying them guts in no time

metaphorical champion.

I add for op, for every year shes older than you, your life expectancy is reduced by 1, up to 10 years.
