I’ll be 30 when my first is born July 30th. Hopefully one more within 2 years, then snipped.

38 is not too old for a woman to give birth these days.


I think I'm right in saying this, and I don't really understand the physiology of the whole deal, but if they've had prior children then 38 is not that bad. It's when they haven't had a single child and their first is coming at 38 that it tends to be more of an issue. But I could be wrong, I frequently am.

I was 43 and my wife was 38 when we had our last set of twins (6 total). I can afford it and my wife is an awesome mother so no complaints here.

I was 37, husband 48.

Not much difference between my earlier, non-advanced maternal age pregnancy at 32 and the last one except a couple of more tests. Did the early genetic testing and a higher level ultrasound for the 20 week check.

My one and only child at 46. Quite the surprise. She's 10 now. Hard pressed to live without her.

I’m 43 and got a chick pregnant on a work trip a few months ago. I told her to take care of it, then ghosted her so who knows.

At this point, I’m worried more about retiring than having a kid.

I was 50 and wife was 39 for our only kid. Surprise!, but a good one it turns out. They did a few extra tests for Downs and other things due to her "age" but everything came out normal.

I’ll be 39 when mine is born. I’ve had more testing since I’m older, and everything is genetically normal. My husband is in his 40s. The baby was very much wanted, but I cried when I got the positive test because our ages freaked me out.

My mom was 39 when she had me, and I turned out mostly normal.



My wife's mother was 39 when my wife was born. Everything turned out fine.

Only thing that worries me is how things are now that we have our own kids. My oldest is 6, and his grandmother is 75. She's lived a health-conscious life, but her age is starting to include ailments. We have to be extremely protective and cautious with visiting her if our kids have any cold symptoms (which at least one always seems to have). She also can't do very much activity with them like I'm sure she would like.

I know that's a LONG way off to worry about, but being a grandparent is part of the family experience. I'd hate to be too old to give quality time to my grandkids.
