what is to old to have a child

[eveb]

Hay!!!!!!  as long as you're able and capable there is no limit. Kid's keep u going n feeling young, the challenge come wen they start smelling themselves, espically those GIRLS

Your too old to have a child in your fiftys.

When mother nature says the factory is closed.

Thats what I was thinking to unless you open to the idea of adopting.

i think it depends on the woman's body and how fit she is but I wouldn't have children past the age of 45. That is when I'd close up the shop.

I disagree.  There IS a time when it's too late to have kids...namely, if you're at the age where you might be dead by the time they graduate high school.

Over 35 for women is flirting with birth defects and health risks.

I say 40 and beyond, altho my Mom had me when she was 40 hmmmmmm

[wiersmak]

I wouldnt have one past 40.  The chances of birth defects increase greatly, though my MIL had her last kid at 48 and had no problems.

True, but the risk is still there.

Oh I know, if its to be it will be right

mom had me when she was 36...dont think i would have one past 45.  would want to be able to still keep up with them when they make their teenage years!

I had my first child at 30 and my last child at 40.  I was more tired during my last pregnancy, but can't imagine life without my little guy.

Young parents die too.  My ex bf lost both patents by the time he was 12 and they didn't have him when they were old.  Nothing is guaranteed.

Rule of thumb: You shouldn't be a senior citizen when the kid graduates high school!!!
