do you think it is moral for a womand to have a baby in her 40's? personnaly i think it's seflish en dangerous. What if the baby is mentally handicapped? And having a mother so old is not a great thing when you are a teenager. All your friends will make fun of you. Not a good idea at all.
shareLet me guess 16 and or planning on teen pregnancy? Sounds like your snitty attitude. 45 is considered healthy. 58 is not nursing home, mom is not going to come to grad in a diaper and drool.
shareI don't know if you failed math or something.... but there are nearly years of healthy breeding time between 16 and 45...
shareWhat if the person had been infertile and used fertility methods or just wasn't ready to raise a child until 40? Why is that selfish? Who is anyone to judge.
shareOMG O__o fortyyyy is??? like??? soooo old????? i mean ur ded in 10 years groooosss
But I have love in my heart - Yes, as a thief has riches, a usurer money
What are you, like twelve? Ewwww Gross!
share*sigh*
I was making fun of the poster above. "ur dead in 10 years" doesn't sound ironic to you?

You know I did think after the fact that you were just using sarcasm. My bad.
"You met me at a very strange time in my life"
My mum had my younger sister at 44, she was an unplanned pregnancy (my parents only planned on ever having me and I was an only child until I was thirteen) and perfectly healthy. My sister is eleven now and has no issues with my mum's age, she thinks it cool having a sister who is a lot older than her and my mum doesn't even act her age.
Dean and I do share a more profound bond. I wasn't going to mention it - Castiel
Halle Berry had her first baby at 42 and another just a couple of years ago. Geena Davis had 3 kids after forty and Jennifer Lopez had twins just short of that. Everyone is different and although some women choose to have their children earlier, it's certainly not unheard of to have children during or after your 30s-40s.
-Who is it?
-It's Grandpa. And it sounds like he's gotten into the horseradish again.
Grrrr. I have so many rude things I want to say but my mother would tell me to be kind.
My parents were in their mid 40's when I was born. I wasn't planned, but greatly loved. My teenage years were the best. Nobody made fun of me because my friends adored my parents. They were the best parents ever. I lost them at age 86 when I was in my 40's. I miss them every second of every day and thank God for the day he gave me to those mid 40's people. It was the best idea ever.
That is beautiful. I have a sister 20 years younger than me. We lost our mom two years ago. My parents were married 50 years. We still have my dad. He enjoys her kids so much. The other grandkids are all grown. It's nice to see similar stories.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Many blessings to you.
I actually agree with part of this. I highly doubt anyone would get made fun of for having older parents (what??). I do think it's kind of irresponsible to have a child in your 40s though. The older a woman gets the higher the chance of birth defects. I can't understand why anyone would want to be dealing with a teenager in their 50s/60s. Honestly if it's fertility, just adopt.
shareFirst off... my bestie in middle/high school, her parent's were in their 40s when they had her. Nobody made fun of that. But she was quite stressed as she got older about their age... but they got to see all the milestones in her life, graduation, marriage...
Secondly, I'm in my 40s and couldn't have any, didn't want any until now. I'm aware of risks and my doctor will monitor but the time wasn't right until now. Its not for you to judge anyone's life or decisions...
Besides, this is just a movie for craps sake ??
I have no problem with her having a kid in her 40s. I do think she should have had the Amnio, though. She had a much higher chance of having a baby with Downs Syndrome and other issues. So even if she still would have chosen to have the baby in those circumstances, she should have been prepared for it. Also, it was kind of unfair to the guys to ask them to wait so long to find out if they were the father.
I had an Amnio with my second pregnancy and if you get a good practitioner to do it, the risk of miscarriage is actually very low. It does matter how skilled the person is.
My husband was a surprise baby (think Father of the Bride 2) and he was apparently a thrill for the whole family.
