My late mom had me at 44, my little sister two weeks after her 46th birthday -- my dad was 56 -- and it was all natural. His mom had him at 51 and had aunts -- fraternal twin girls two years later:Again, all natural. I am so lucky to have had patient parents who were able to share their life experience with their children and --best of all -- make us self-sufficient and highly responsible for our own actions.

Until I was about 35 I never wanted kids. Now I am 39 and the biological clock is ticking loud. There is a guy I hope I eventually marry but right now he's dealing with issues. I am terrified he will never come around ready to marry and have a baby and my clock will expire. I wish I had wanted babies earlier but I was way too obsessed with my career.

Billy,

I love your comment. It's an inspiration to every woman out there. We, both men and women, are living longer, taking better care of ourselves, and starting our families later in life. Reading what you wrote was truly awesome!

Thanks for sharing your story. There's a site for stories about women having pregnancies after the age of 40, and I find yours to be perfect for that site! Again, thank you for your words of wisdom.

Regards,

B.

A 70-year-old woman in India recently gave birth to twins, so ladies can take their time. In fact if you want we can even hold pregnancy off til after we're divorced.
