What is your opinion when a woman decides to be a mom late in her years?

What is your opinion when a woman decides to be a mom late in her years?
For instance between 40-55? Regardless if it is naturally as it more difficult as the woman ages or by in vitro) It is not my case as Im not married and I dont have kids and it is my choice not to have kids cause im more than 49. But now it is very common to see many women choosing to delay motherhood until they are in their late 30, early 40, mid 40 and even late 40`s. They delay it because they want to become first professional at their jobs or professions or they rather study first and once they are professionals, and are more stable in their jobs or studies, they may decide to start motherhood. Also it is very important the support of their partner when they choose to be a mom late in their years for the first time or they decided to have their 2nd kid when they are late in years.

It is very important both the man and the woman are in the same level and they both want to have kids, not just the woman.

But then I asked myself. Im not a mom but Im sure for thsoe women who are mothers and became mothers even younger, it is a blessing when the baby is desired by both parents and they want to become parents. But then even if the woman becomes a mom later in her years and im sure it may be a blessing for them, cause she choose to be a mom later in years.

Do these women really think of the future when her kids are in teenage years and you are getting older? I mean the energy can't be the same to raise a kid, you may start to have health issues on your own , that you also has to take care of, Would you have the same energy to put up with? In addition, the risk of your baby beign born with abnormalities is very high for a woman who have kids very late in their years.

It is not a matter of money maybe you can afford to have 7 kids (like Angelina Jolie) even if you are a late mom as you can give them education, health, clothes, food and they can be protected and loved by their both parents but here we are talking about the mother

the woman who goes all through the pregnancy process by herself. I mean while the woman has to take care of her own health issues menopause and others also the father , as she grows old, can't she still put up being a mom to a younger kid? As the woman is the one who has more pressure when raising her kids, I mean do these women who decided to delay motherhood think of the future before of themselves? I mean it is not just that "I decided to become a mom this late" but do they think of what

her future holds to have a still a small kid while you are getting older?

Superb Opinion

  • So I had my two girls when I was 25 and 26 and my twin boys at 41 (both of whom are healthy and normal). I didn't become a mom in my early 40s, but I sort of "started over" in my early 40s. I have absolutely 0 regrets about having my boys. I love them so much and can't imagine my life without them now. I've also had a much easier time raising my boys than my girls. I had my girls with a guy who (honestly) was kind of a deadbeat (and I divorced soon after having my second daughter) so it was mostly just me on my own raising them. Now I have a very involved/supportive husband as well as my two daughters (which makes things MUCH easier). Also, the fact my husband and I make good salaries makes things much easier financially (as opposed to when I was younger and was mostly struggling off my much lower salary).
    I obviously can't know exactly what's going to happen in the future, but I'm optimistic in terms of my health and energy. I've actually done very well at keeping myself healthy/in shape. I have a lot of energy right now. I know it'll slow down at least on some level, but I like to think it'll keep up on at least a decent level (especially since I'm keeping myself healthy/in shape).
    I have 0 regrets on having my boys in my early 40s. If any woman wants to become a mom latter on I'd very much recommend it!

  • my niece didn't have her child until the early 30's, and she is thinking about having another one.
    she did comment that it is a lot of work and she gets tired, but even at a younger age that happens too.
    the biggest thing is the overall health of the mother and baby at a later age.
    Whle you hear about it from time to time, do you really want a teenager in your mid 50s?
    chasing a toddler around at 40 something?
    I feel that next to health reasons would be the second thing that someone would need to consider carefully.

    • Exactly my point but moms or women do not think it fron taht prspective
