I'd say 40s and onwards is too old to be pregnant, even if you can conceive babies at that age still.

[Nurse-Sarah70]

I'm surprise I could get pregnant, Doctors said both my tubes were showing signs of scarring

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Until you go through menopause, you'll continue to be able to get pregnant. But my mom had me at like almost 39 years. old. Definitely had complications and I was her last kid.

Depends on the body only you know when its time to stop trying

[IslaTheWitch]

congratulations!

I would say that your body sets limits for you... the only question that appears is if you are strong enough to go through all of this again...

35 because after that age chances of the baby having birth defects gets higher.

While women can technically conceive as long as they are ovulating, fertility naturally declines with age—especially after 35. Most women experience a significant drop in fertility in their late 30s to early 40s, and natural pregnancy becomes rare after age 45. However, with advancements in reproductive medicine, some women in their 40s and even early 50s have successfully conceived using fertility treatments or donor eggs.

It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to assess fertility and discuss safe options for pregnancy at any age. Age affects not only the chance of conception but also the health risks associated with pregnancy for both mother and baby.

While anecdotes about ladies conceiving an offspring in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s make for good titles, these pregnancies are generally achieved with benefactor eggs and in vitro treatment (IVF). There is no set most established age when you can get pregnant normally, however ripeness begins to decline as you age.

The oldest recorded mother to date to conceive was 74 years old. According to statistics from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, in the UK, more than 20 babies are born to women over 50 per year.

And the youngest to get pregnant was about 5, but I think they had precocious puberty, a rare condition where children get puberty early and grow pubic hair at a young age.

[RageBabe]

@Daniela1982 That's awful, and if recall, it happened in Latin America, right?

[4ngelic]

biologically you can naturally get pregnant until 40, and with some help you can easily at 41-42. but generally above that it's too old to have your own baby without the ivf type stuff

Whenever you start menopause is when you’re too old to get pregnant as you’ve used the last of your eggs by then.

Young enough that you can do things with your children without getting tired out and having to take a nap. That and you want to see them married and maybe play with some grandchildren before you die. ~😘~

You are probably pushing your luck by 50.

[Abbycado]

Bigger risk of complications the older you get from what I understand.

[Smashingdoozy]

I think it's unfair to have a kid after your early 40s.

[rachel776]

i thought i would start at 30 but now i'm thinking i will start at 27 and finish at 30 or 32

I’m not sure. As a nurse, you would know better than me. But 51 is getting up there. One of my mom’s friends had twins at 48 and that’s the oldest I ever heard of before you.

Nature has a funny way of deciding that for itself.

[Anonymous]

If your age on here is accurate, you'd be setting some sort of record at the age of 51.

[FunkyMonkee]

Why? Baby factories don't start closing up shop `til about 55.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Well congratulations. I think getting pregnant at 60 is too old.

[Daniela1982]

Remember that Sarah was in her 80's when she got pregnant.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Daniela1982: People her days didn't age nor lived as long as people today.

Sarah lived basically almost at the beginning of creation.

[Daniela1982]

On the contrary, people back then lived long lives. Methusula was over 900 years old when he died. Many others lived 600 years or more, mainly because God was wanting them to populate the Earth.

[Flower7]

I think 40 is too old.

[Deadpool99]

Most women can’t get pregnant in their 50’s

[paledreams]

Any age over, in my honest opinion, 35 to 40

[Crazzyyworld]

No age you can get pregnant at any age

[MasterKS]

Its more about your menopause than age.
